That's true! I think I've always played it like that.

Wes Montgomery, I started playing with my thumb years ago because of him. If I close my eyes, your style is very close to his. I really love his version of DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES ( Henry Mancini) and the lush chords he used, and that unique ending chord Fsus2, with the pretty ending run. There is a transcription on KZread of some of his actual chords used.

good lesson .. like the octaves

You've already done a wonderful lesson on Moonlight In Vermont. I just wanted to let you know this.

I did Eleanor Rigby already. But these Pop songs aren't jazz standards (this is a jazz channel!) and they immediately get demonetized, as soon as the upload is finished. So all work in vein for me. You can buy the TABs with the chord grids. A single video takes me one week in the making (this is a full time job, not a hobby!). If you don't want to spend the 3.99, you could see it as an exercise to transcribe it yourself 😉. All the info is already in the video - for free!

@@GuitarversumSandraSherman Hello! Well I was thinking of Wes' versions. His Elanor Rigby changes seem to be way different and more moving than the Beatles versions. And Wes' Windy is a great crowd pleaser jazzy version, but I think I just found a good chart of Wes' Windy! Thanks! I enjoy your lessons and am working on several of your ideas now, as in: Road Song, Affirmation, Mr. Walker and Mercy Mercy Mercy.

This Jazz Guitar lesson breakdown of octaves & chords, for one of Wes Montgomery's hit song. was awesome! and very enjoyable! for me to learn, actually the best KZread version I've found that's a challenge to me to learn. I really like your teaching approach, and purchased the complete lesson package via PayPal, but what I really would appreciate greatly, if you can put together a Jazz guitar lesson package on Wes Montgomery's " Bumpin On Sunset " and "Bumpin". I can't find no Good Jazz guitar lesson out on KZread, that matched your Lessons..

You're correct. It's not an "Off-the-record-transcription", but my own arrangement. The chords are the same though, just different voicings and different all together arrangement.

Wes didnt move the wrist of right hand, it all came just from the thumb movement. He had the ring finger anchored on the strut holding the pickguard.. does it sound different ? It does... less percussive, more subtle - with more control of dynamic, I guess .. 🙃

Who claimed the TAB is $1? So you bought the TAB and are angry, because you had to pay them? I offer paypal. Paypal lets you choose to use the wallet in your paypal account or a credit card. If you choose credit card, of course you have to provide your credit card info TO PAYPAL, not to me. I never even get to see your credit card info. My webshop (like any other one in the world) just takes you to paypal for the paypment and then redirects you to my download page. The zip file can be opened by double clicking it. You don't need your credit card to open the file. That's nonsense. It seems you don't have a great deal of technical understanding. Also in your first comment you called people to share my TABS to you for free. That is illegal with my TABS! Please do not order from me again!
