He doesn't play off of any certain scale or whatnot to get his sound. If you're wondering about a certain song or certain solo - ask.

In general, he writes music with lots of 2nd, 4th, 7th, and 9th extensions, favoring sus2, add9, sus4 and add4.

Try swapping out your thirds for suspensions and revoicing your chords with a 9th on top.
