Here's ten incredible Wes Montgomery lines to deepen your bebop vocabulary! These came from his solo on the song "Tune Up" from his album "Movin Along" on Riverside (1960). Extremely underrated album! These licks are great examples of his playful and hard swinging style. Check out some of the key concept analysis and takeaways at the end of the video!

Alex
Electric bass player is Wes' brother, Monk Montgomery
According to what I've read it was his brother, Monk Montgomery, who played electric bass.
Thanks!
Hey THANK YOU!!! 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello Alex, I've been a Wes Montgomery fan since I was in highschool in the 1960s. I play guitar and Wes was a big influence. I love your transcriptions. The really sound like him. Keep up the great work. Rony Be.
Thanks for watching and the kind words!! Glad this was helpful!

Another GREAT lesson Alex. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for checking it out Greg! 🙏 Like I always say... “It always comes back to Wes!”
A beautiful video . I am a lover of Wes's playing , but I'm practising these licks on chromatic harmonica . Your video gets right down to business with useful insights into what is happening in these licks . Thankyou !
Many thanks! I’m working on a Mark Whitfield licks lesson that will be up next week. Make sure to stick around and check it out too! Cheers!
Very nice Wes primer or intro to Wes. Well selected.
Thank you very much for this and all of your other lessons. I am just at the beginning stage of trying to learn how to play jazz guitar and these videos are a huge help. Thanks!
Thank you SO much for this! I’m glad it’s helpful and it made my day hearing from you. Enjoy the journey. Cheers!!
thank you so much for this compilation
Glad you liked it!! Cheers!
Nicely done, once again.
Great lesson. Did the same on this song years ago, and this has worked beautifully for me.
You always do really great stuff Sir.
Thanks James! Appreciate the support. Happy Jammin!
Alex, just discovered your channel. This was a really excellent presentation for me. Thx!
This is groovy, thanks for slowing down as well. May I ask where does one find the backing track to practice?
I just made the backing tracks in iReal Pro app!
Wonderfull!
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you
What a lesson! Right on the money 👌 Subbed 👊
Ottimo lavoro 🎉
Thank you 🙏🤘
Nice playing and way to go tracking Wes!
Wes used a 6 string Danelectro bass - my nerdy intuition makes me think it compliments James Clay's flute. At least jazz makes nerds cool 😀 Great licks, I really like that ya slowed em down too, cheers from county Devon, England.
Thanks! Cheers!! 🙏🙏🤘
Great content man you rock
Thanks Michael! Rock on!
Beautiful
Nice lesson
thank you very much
Melodic Lines Thanks
Great job 💪
Could have been a typo. Monk Montgomery, his brother, played bass in ihs group.
It's hard to know what to say to people who think there is any such thing as a GOAT in guitar playing.
That’s probably fair 😂🤷♂️ Cheers!
Hi, great teaching from you and excellent skills. Wondering of could You made with this method some whole song of Herb Ellis? It’s perfect way for me and I think many of us to better remember melody by practicing licks with You like here, but with whole songs. Kind regards from Poland 😊
I really dig your approach to teaching Wes Stuff. I just started playing bumpin', and it has taken me a very l long time; probably not the best song choice to start learning jazz. Do you have a video of improving my thumb speed and left hand?
You're my teacher from now I will be checking more videos please help me to be a jazzman
Thank you for checking out the channel! That means a lot! Now that the school semester is winding down I’m going to be posting regularly again! Stay tuned!
Great stuff here. Saw another vid where you were ranking underrated players. Haven't heard a player yet that truly understands how great Wayne Krantz is, that can't also play their own ass off. Haha. Subbed.
excellent analysis !! curious, what Ibanez model is that. beautiful guitar
Good~~
Good sounds and information. What model is your Ibanez guitar?
Thanks so much for watching! It’s an Ibanez JSM100 (John Scofield Signature)
Wes played an electric baritone guitar on that recording
and his first instrument was a baritone guitar.
I'm wondering if he's mixing the major and minor pentatonic here aswel
do Django!
Ooooo good call!!! I’ll get one up on the next week or so!!
These are great. And your playing is, too. This is not a complaint: The last two eighth notes in the notation for the second bar of the ninth example don’t match what you’re playing, which sounds right.
The major seventh over the flat 7th is what is confusing to me, but it's done a lot in Jazz.What is your spelling or theory,just a simple passing tone from nowhere?In secondary dominants is where you see it a lot.
nice would love if you checked out some of my playing - tried to learn jazz i failed lol
Is that an Ibanez with stock pickups? It has a nice fat sound to it.
Yes! Early Ibanez john Scofield signature… 2001 JSM100. I believe the pickups are Super 58s!
Amazing tone! Are you playing through a Fender champ or Princeton?
Can't tell.
@@U2BER2012 Thanks! Princeton!
@@AlexNaumanMusic Keep up the great lessons.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wes played single note lines with 3 fingers of his left hand.
what guitar brand is that?
It’s an Ibanez John Scofield signature model!! JSM100 I believe. They now make a cheaper version too
Wes could play the same lines with octaves, then with chords
The range is low because he is playing a bass on this track.
I thought there would be two hundred fifty one licks 😛 Those rhythmic phrases (along with the accents) are absolutely swinging---I'm actually more interested in that more than the notes. Great playing by the way.
