Wes Montgomery - Blues Transcriptions

[Mario Abbagliati]

Hi Guys,

One of my favorite topics of study is to transcribe Wes's solos over the blues progressión. I have published several of them in my blog. I hope you find them useful.

West Coast Blues (Harold Land version)

D Natural Blues, Geno, James and Wes

Freddie Freeloader

Thanks!

It would be great to discuss Wes' approach in a bit more detail.

To show you what esteem you are held in, Mario, I check your blog practically every day to make sure I don't miss anything, and I have mentioned it to others as much as I can. I especially like your Falling Grace arrangement.
