ANGEL By John L. Wes Montgomery

From the play-along book and CD Set, from Jamey Aebersold Jazz, "Wes Montgomery" Vol.62. Song by Wes Montgomery. I havent practice or study for two weeks, I have been busy with my job and some other personal things. I just want it to play and relax and today is so beautiful and sunny out side it has been so cold this week in chicago but tody is so warm that invites you just to play. So I hope you guys enjoy this humble video. Have a great weekend!

Hi Edwin,

Have you any study suggestions or recommendations for a new player coming to guitar on how to play with the thumb? How'd you begin, as it appears you've mastered the use of your thumb quite well. I prefer the tonality of the instrument played with the thumb as opposed to a pick. I've read that Wes came to use his thumb due to attempting to keep the volume down during late night practice sessions.

Your videos are very inspirational to new players like myself. Many thanks!

Greg

Just get in to it. Don't waist your time with books about Wes technique. I have a book about his technique. It didn't help at all. Al you have to do is the same thing Wes did. Grab the guitar and start practicing. That's the way I did it. Listen to Wes playing and check his video here in YouTube. Observe his right hand in how he play with his thumb. Give your self time and be patient. You will get the hang of it just like I did. If you have the desire...you can do it!!!

Wish you all the best.
