@SVG__Collection Wes Montgomery (1923–1968) played electric guitar in the bebop/hard bop era. He used his thumb instead of a pick, which gave him a warm, rounded tone. Wes was famous for his harmonic approach with solos in three tiers: single-note lines → octaves → block chords.
Wes Montgomery is one of the driving forces behind the evolution of jazz guitar! His own unique style and talent revolutionized the way we think about this instrument in the jazz genre. His mastery of fingerstyle playing, along with his use of octaves and complex chord voicings, has influenced countless musicians and redefined the role of the guitar in jazz. Montgomery's ability to blend soulful melodies with intricate improvisation has made him a cornerstone of jazz guitar history.
