Hi guys I thought I'd post what I think are the chords to the BT

Bmin 4bars
Emin 2 bars
Bmin 2 bars
Gmaj9 ( or maj7) 1 bar ( fourth string fifth fret, 3rd string fourth fret, second string third fret, first string fifth fret)
Gb min 1 bar (or F#min11b9 to really jazz it up .to get this chord just lower the D: second string third fret, in the Gmaj9 chord to a C#, simple)
Bmin 1 bar
drum break 1 bar
that makes it a 12 bar blues
The Keys move up each time around a half step. Bmin to start then Cmin then C#min then Dmin then it starts over one more round through to the end
hint:When you play the Bmin and Emin bar chords with the root on the fifth string just lift your pinky and bird finger for the 3rd and 4th beats of the bar to get the second sound you hear in the BT. JB

Also I think it's up to you if you want to make the F#min in bar 11 a dominat 7th which is a major chord. This is commonly done in Jazz. JB

What a great sounding BT. I'd like to know how you did it! Here's my warts and all take. I only did a couple of minutes, to be honest, the constant key changes wore me out!
I haven't posted for a while, I'm in Korea now, living with friends, and am a little limited as to what I can do vis a vis recording. Anyway, hope you like this.
Ian

It was two guitars
I just realised that my lead sound recorded dry, even though there was some delay on it in the cans. I may have another go at this, though the semitone thing gets a little wearing after a minute or so. Slick, thanks, the BT was great, beautiful sounds...seriously, how did you do that?
