Stealing other people's voicing ideas

The same way you learn how to talk by imitating your parents, we learn a great deal by imitating our "spiritual" musical parents. Here are a few examples stolen here and there. One of the greatest voicings master is Biréli Lagrène (just listen to what he does in Standards or Live in Marciac, it's a fireworks) hence he's a reference whose musical ideas can be shamelessly stolen.
