G'day everyone, I'm a big fan of Steve Stills' guitar work especially in CSN/Y where he's doing just about all the lead guitar work across the first two albums, with a little help from Neil on a couple of tracks off Deja Vu. His lead playing style seems really unique, highlighted by tracks such as 'Carry On,' 'Wooden Ships,' 'Woodstock,' etc. Was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how you'd approach a chord progression like Stills would e.g. what particular scales/modes, etc.

Regards,

Will
