Heavily influenced by Wes like so many others, Ritenour added his own unique flavor, making him who he is. This is one of his major tunes that set him out on his journey.
Lee always names the great Wes Montgomery as the biggest influence on his skills as a guitarist. I just wish that black musicians knew of Wes. Lee always trys to do Wes when he does a Montgomery tune. Only George Benson mentions Wes besides Lee. Lee has his own style of play but he never forgets Wes.

@IRONMANHONDO87 Pat Metheny also mentions WM as his biggest influences. He says WM is the only guitarist in whom he can find no fault.
