Diego Budicin17th March 2023Very cool, perhaps this is how Wes would sound if he were alive today 🤩
Kris!! If my tone sounded even 10% of a modern Wes one, it'd be a huge honor!! Thanks!!
I wonder how he would have played now, after making the history of jazz guitar and becoming a legend!This lesson sounds so awesome!!! I love it!!!

Hey guys! Welcome to this new lesson.
In this one, we work on a sequence of different funk patterns using also the "swing" feel to improve our rhythmical control.
I hope this will help you improve your octave chord melody composition while improvising also.
The whole piece is built around the F#m7, B7, and DMaj7 chords.
The key modulates between E and D.
Guitar : Ibanez AZ2402
Equipment : Kemper + Apollo Twin Duo
Tempo : 110 bpm
Time Signature : 4/4
Chord progression
||: F#m7 | B7 :|| 4x
||: D | B7 :||4x
||: F#m7 | B7 :|| 4x
Key signature : E (F# Dorian) then temporary modulation to D (within the 3rd section) and back to E
Techniques used :
- Strumming
- Slide
Have fun and stay tuned for the next lesson! ;)
