Totally! It's been a (sadly multi-year) project of mine to work out "Brilliant Corners." It really does translate well to guitar...but his intervals are pretty unusual, so it takes a lot of work (for me) to figure 'em out. His chording style would be hard to duplicate, though, with all those minor seconds going on, but it is quite an education.
