I believe its a bass six string guitar. It's a regular guitar except tuned down an octave.  Fender use to make them around the sixties. There are a few recordings of wes using them.

[markschlesinger]

fantastic! Got to get some more Wes.

[Jplent1]

@guimaguitar That would be baritone guitar.

[Jplent1]

I know that it's Wes. I've been listening to him since 1965.

[Jplent1]

@GLeone221 You don't know Wes.

[Sonofrest1]

Thanks for the great post! I have the 12 CD set of Wes' Riverside tracks, and it's a treasure trove.

[Sonofrest1]

@guimaguitar I think it's a baritone guitar being played on the treble pickup.

[Sonofrest1]

@Jplent1 It's Wes. I have this version on the 12 CD set of all of Wes' Riverside dates.

[Sonofrest1]

@GLeone221 It is Wes. I have the 12 set of his Riverside dates and it's in there. I also have an old Riverside LP that has another take of Wes playing this on the baritone.

[wesm65]

@GLeone221 This is definitely Wes. I have it on the "Complete Riverside Recordings." He's playing a six string "bass" guitar - like a regular only tuned down an octave. He plays it on most of the tracks of "Movin' Along"(this track is an alternate take) with James Clay(flute/sax). This version rivals Hawkin's famous version for sheer melodic and inventive genius imo.

Car radios were created to play music like this!

[archtop68]

I will now buy Wes Montgomery everything! Thank you for uploading something I may have never heard. My world is a better place.

[GLeone221]

[Jplent1]

@aleksandersucharski If Wes is playing.

Jazz is The Best Music The World. I Love this Music :-D

[musicmandrew]

I had to transcribe this and his solo for Satin Doll to play for the Jazz Jury at Loyola in New Orleans. Wes's solo's are some of the best ever played by any guitarist of any style. I played with my thumb so many hours over the years that it is actually larger than my left thumb. Well worth it!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

the words to the Martin Luther King song tell what he was all about. It's a powerful message.It should be heard around the world.The songs being played on the radio today is garbage.

[aleksandersucharski]

playing a jazz guitar on a treble pickup.

[jazz1bro]

[guimaguitar]

Amazing, but doesn t sound like Wes tone at all.He probably was playing a tenor guitar .

[viniguitarjazz]
