Wes Montgomery
« on: April 17, 2014, 02:21:07 PM »
Hi guys. I started getting into jazz and I decided too look for Wes Montgomery videos on youtube. And I have a great video for you to see here that will win  you over. And I will say that Wes Montgomery plays with his thumb in this video. His playing is so beautiful and expressive. I just started using my thumb too play scales, and I got compliments from people who told me how pretty the sound was. I now want too look into getting a nice jazz box and try to start playing a lot more like Wes Montgomery. But my question is, how does Wes Montgomery plays so fast with his thumb?

Lots and lots of perfect practice.
