Summary of This Method
This method from the Guitar Play-Along series is designed to get you playing your favorite songs quickly and well, with a simple and motivating approach: you follow the tablature, listen to the audio to internalize the sound and phrasing, then play along with dedicated backing tracks. An excellent format to work on rhythmic placement, attack precision, and musicality, while keeping the joy of "playing in a band."
This volume highlights the unmistakable style of Wes Montgomery, an essential reference in jazz guitar, and offers you 7 tracks to work on in a rich musical context. You will find exactly the following pieces: Bumpin' on Sunset, A Day in the Life, Days of Wine and Roses, Four on Six, Road Song, Tequila, West Coast Blues. The presence of melody and lyrics makes it easier to navigate the form, helps with phrasing, and makes practice more intuitive, even if you don't sing.
Thanks to Playback+, you can adapt each piece to your level: slow down to secure a passage, loop a phrase to memorize it, change key to explore other fingerings, and pan left or right to better hear the guitar. A particularly useful tool to refine your articulation, swing, and tone, from first sight-reading to fluent playing.
