[kungShao78]

[MahatMagandi93]

thaanks for the great videos eh. rock on

[yesyoumay]

Wes Montgomery was, and still is, greatly unrecognized and underappreciated as the great genius guitar player he was. Many, including greats like George Benson, have since got ideas from him. He was one of the great self-taught guitarists as was another great Stevie Ray Vaughn. If anyone really wants to get into Wes I suggest listening to "Bumpin" and "Bumpin On Sunset"

I have always loved the arrangements on some of Wes's albums and if Mr Keepnews had a hand in it then he has true talent!
