Seriously, I want to know too, not once. Not even people with perfect pitch, perfect intervallic ears, etc. are this capable of perfection, much less gorgeous melodies, MUCH LESS playing said melodies spontaneously without prior preparation. Keep in mind this is all without mentioning his chord (much different than soloing only with single notes), which despite him not knowing intermediate+ theory, are occassionally highly advanced

Re: "Wes is just amazing. This guy never played a wrong note in his life. How is that even possible?" The word "genius" gets overused - a lot - in the context of popular music - but the term is entirely apt in the case of John Leslie "Wes" Montgomery. He was the real thing, a musical genius in every sense of the word. Even his fellow jazz performers, many of them elite players themselves, were in awe of his talent. Great bassist and fellow Indianapolis jamming partner Larry Ridley said after his death, "Wes had something only God can give a man..."

Wes is arguably most associated with the octave lines, but while his phrasing is second to none in the confines of that technique, it's so refreshing and edifying to hear him comp and play single note lines. The mans was an absolute legend.

All honors due to Wes, of course, but the Pim Jacobs Trio were absolutely amazing playing with him! They had wonderful chemistry together, and it is a real pity they didn't have the opportunity to work together more often. Clark Terry sounds very comfortable in this setting as well. What a splendid musician that man was!

If you are the bass player you can hit wring notes! Not so much for the single note instruments. Piano and guitar can make a better case for a ' wrong' note or chord being ' right if you look at it like this'. Bass, not so much
@nemo2272 жыл бұрын
@@doitnowvideosyeah5841 I'm going to reluctantly agree with you. Bass notes, as played on an upright string bass, are often less clearly heard and often heard as a "thump". Sometimes even by bass players. I discovered, many years ago while putting new strings on my bass, that the notes on my bass sounded more resonant and more like "real" notes when I had strung only 3 strings and not 4. I suspect that the addition of the 4th string may have had a muffling effect. I'm sure someone has studied or examined such a thing. Early string basses had just 3 strings (I have read) so I'm wondering about the reasoning that led to the 4th string. Somebody knows; others will guess.
