Re: How About A Little Jazz Guitar For A Change?

While we're on the "Jazz Thang", who remembers this little Bossa Nova -flavored tune? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wiLGLSPteA 

Ever wondered what she looks like, that "Girl From....."   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct0kxfEsIqU

Beautiful lady!

(but don't tell SHMBO, I wrote that! Just kidding. She knows who loves her. )

Well now, we've heard the music, found out where Ipanema is and even met the girl. Bet you still wouldn't swap for the girl from Carrollton Georgia

Do you happen to know if Wes Montgomery tuned his guitar to facilitate the octave lines he used. If not, he's got to be the hardest soft jazz player in the world to imitate!!

Got to add...Just watched some Joe Pass vids on youtube. Don't know if I have enough time left in the world to approach that sort of expertise!

To answer Kevin: The question you asked about Wes Montgomery is best answered by our Musical Theory Instructor, Russell Harding. I'm just a sorry sack of drummer who got tired of lugging his kit around and took up 6 string. Sorry! smile
