Default Wes Montgomery guitar book

Hey there!

Are there any good books out there regarding the style of Wes Montgomery?

I am looking for books with transcriptions, licks and such.

check out "The Wes Montgomery Guitar Folio" by Steve Khan - worth looking at Steve's website for further details ...

Agreed with the Khan book!
Also there is a Wolf Marshall book with transcriptions and some analysis notes.
There is a German guy called Georg Heuser who sells transcriptions and has transcribed just about everything you can think of.
The Pat Martino transcription site & the Grand Central homepage

This book is pretty nice. I've gone thru it a bit. Good author, and the disc is helpful.

Amazon.com: Best of Wes Montgomery: Guitar (Signature Licks) (9780634009020): Wolf Marshall, Wes Montgomery: Books

Wanna be blown away? Get a copy of "625 Alive"
DVD with tabs/stand notes. Note for note. Watch the vid and jam along.
Right from the 65 European tour.
