About this jazz guitar session:

Praised by many as the greatest jazz guitar player of all time, Wes Montgomery was as unique as he was good.

Join Fret Dojo's Greg O'Rourke for this guided listening lesson as he explores Montgomery's playing on Jerome Kern's 'Yesterdays'.

Discover the approaches and devices Wes uses to breathe new life into this classic tune, a performance that still sounds exciting and fresh to this day.

Thanks for this. I've been looking for someone who analyzes jazz songs that isn't so technical so anyone who doesn't have a lot of music theory knowledge can appreciate the music and understand what these artists are doing. Even when you brought up the chords it was easy to understand the gist of what you were saying without being familiar with what the chords actually are.

Thanks for this session. Can you please do for us a tutorial of how to detect chords and solos to interpret Wes Montgomery melodies ?

Such a shame can't hear your guitar properly Greg
