Glen's technique/style
Did Glen play his solos off the cuff - maybe playing by feel? Another way to ask - did he play the same thing repeatedly, or did it always come out different? It doesn't sound like he was winging it by any means, but his style of playing is tough to replicate.

Re: Glen's technique/style
Glen was truly unique in that he would come up with a structured idea yet leave tons of room for spontaneous invention, usually with the opening notes being planed and the rest improvised.
"I'm Eighteen" varies from performance to performance yet maintains a degree of structure.
"Living" is an example of his total spontaneity. "Blue Turk" was improvised but amazing in that his guitar was having a real-time conversation with the horn players.

I love his playing on Blue Turk, actually you all shine on that song.
Re: Glen's technique/style
How did you both know that “Blue Turk” is the song that made me ask? Weirrrrrrd.
