For Wes Posted by: mattotten
Video duration: 298 seconds A simple swinging tune that is my tribute to Wes Montgomery, my earliest and probably most important influence.

If he works on his right hand, it may never be as nice as this again. I say leave it as is. Beauty in simplicity.

By: rrksevilla. on 27 Nov 08, 04:43:27
You're right. There's an 11th in there as well. The voicing, starting from the 6th string = E, 4th = F#, 3rd = open G, 2nd = D, and 1st = A. Nice voicing and beautiful playing, mattotten.
By: GaryNull. on 26 Nov 08, 20:37:06
Sounds like a minor 9, but I'm just guessing.
