How to Play 'Natural D Blues' on GuitarKIVETT BEDNAR: Hello, today I'm going to be demonstrating a solo by Wes Montgomery from a 1960 recording called "The D-Natural Blues." It's off of an album called the Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery. It was put out by Riverside. You should definitely go check it out if you don't know about it already. A few things I wanted to say before we go into this, I'm going to be demonstrating first the first chorus and second the second chorus then I'm going to play the entire first two choruses, single note solo altogether and then we'll be breaking down the solo lick by lick, just talking about each licks' usefulness and the blues idiom outside of this solo, playing it in different places on the neck, speculating what Wes Montgomery might have been thinking when he was improvising. I mean, we'll just be talking about each lick in the solo. Now, intrinsic to the guitar, you can play these licks in lots of different places on the neck and even in the same register. So, if you find an easier fingering that works for you, fine, go with it, that's cool. These are just the fingerings that I have worked out and I feel like are the easiest. So, you know, for instance [PLAYS LICK] or [PLAYS LICK] or [PLAYS LICK]. I mean, you can play them all over the place, and so feel your way through it; it's the sound that counts. And remember, it's the tone of his guitar that also counts.

Interesting, he is an excellent speaker (how refreshing to be able to understand someone). I am a little confused as to why there is toilet paper on the railing. That is really distracting.
