You have figured out Wes' coolest solo, especially the James Bond theme at the end, although the coolest part is the chordal improv near the end. This stuff is very hard to learn. There is no notation for this solo, because I've looked for it everywhere. You really are good.

Featuring two future Eagles members: Don Felder and Bernie Leadon

The photos you show are of a Gainesville, Florida band called, yep, The Rare Breed. It is not the same band.

This is "So Sad," not Cathy's Clown.

Three chords and great harmony...this is the real deal wagonwheel

You chose a great song to play on, the drummer on this cut (Schlosser?) is great. This has one of the all time greatest drum licks in it, right near the end, you know what I mean. Good playing man!

This has in my opinion one of his most perfectly formed solos, and that's saying something considering his brilliance. Just check it out...

The Allman Bros. band were in a category of their own, not "southern musicians" but flat out brilliant musicians and just as importantly, a remarkable team of players. With soul and technique, and Greg's singing, this band was engineered for magnificence on basically every level.

After all that you read about Wes and after listening to his music for years, it is so great to watch him at work...he's humble, unassuming, very detail-oriented, patient, warm, and his playing is fantastic! And you can tell this band is pinching themselves and at the same time acting cool about ...

The real deal. Soul.

oh man, anyone that can get half way through that piece I admire! Excelente!

Chet pretty much is IT on guitar. He was not a country guitarist, he was a guitarist.

He made an "instruction" DVD I recently watched. What a joke; he shows you how he does it, very slowly and carefully, but it doesn't mean you can do it. Very humbling...

This is one of the most virtuoso sax recordings of all time. I notice you copped my photo of Earl. That photo was given to me by Elmer Beechler at his factory in L.A, who made Beechler mouthpieces, the model Earl used.

Hollis lived down the street from our family on Biven's Arm. His son was my good friend. Hollis was a warm, talented man.

I just saw/heard her play last night in Seattle at Jazz Alley w/Billy Cobham. She is a remarkable soloist....

Harrison is great. Soulful, massively intelligent, erudite, he can write about Nature, sex, food and Eastern philosophy in one paragraph and it all makes sense. A warm, brilliant writer.

Very nice production of the video, this song is classic Sherrill "Countrypolitan" and a classic by any measure. Thanks for the great addition to YouTube!

In terms of talent on jazz guitar, there seems to be Wes Montgomery, and then everyone else....it is his "feel" as much as anything that makes his playing so appealing....I don't know whatever went through his head while he played, but it sounds like he is exerting no effort whatsoever! The best.
