Your Lick Collection Is Why You Don't Sound Like Wes Montgomery

Where Wes Montgomery's jazz guitar lines actually came from — not licks, but the chord voicing already under his hand, on the ballad I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face. That sound gets sold today as a modern concept — with a fancy name and a hundred licks attached. Wes Montgomery played it in the '60s, and he didn't get it from a theory book. It came straight out of the voicings he was already holding. So be honest: how many concepts have you collected this year — a new label, a new system, another course saved for later — while your solos still sound like last year? The players you're chasing weren't collecting. Wes held one structure, and everything came out of it. One ballad — I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face, the one Wes made famous — one voicing, and the line that lives inside it. By the end you'll trade "which concept fits here" for a better question: what's already under my hand? New to these voicings?

And there's one two-five pattern inside this tune — two chords, one note apart — that Wes repeats through the whole form. That pattern alone is half the reason I made the course: https://www.voicelidjazzguitar.com/ja... ▶️ Watch the free walkthrough of this ballad first — Nobody Teaches This — Wes Montgomery Played It in Plain Sight the Whole Time:    • Nobody Teaches This — Wes Montgomery Playe...   ▶️ PLAYLIST — Wes Montgomery 2-5-1 — Voicing Shape as the Line:    • Wes Montgomery 2-5-1 — Voicing Shape as th...   ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Wes Montgomery Line From One Chord Voicing 1:38 Berklee Apprenticeship — Richie Hart's Wes Montgomery Lab 2:29 I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face — One Ballad, One Voicing 3:29 Jazz Ballad Chord Changes — Consecutive 2-5s 4:47 Shell Voicing to Drop 2 — The Wes Line Voicing 5:20 B7 Dominant — Wes Line With the Natural 13 6:08 Wes Montgomery's Dominant Chord Shape and Diminished Sound 6:55 How Wes Lines Come From the Chord Structure 7:19 Improvising Lines From Chord Melody Voicings 8:51 Free Building Blocks — Shell Voicings, Wes Line, Django Line 10:08 Wes Montgomery to Kenny Burrell to Peter Bernstein 11:43 Getting Your Own Jazz Guitar Sound — Richie Hart Lesson 13:53 Jazz Guitar Mentorship — VoiceLid Jazz Guitar 14:24 Jazz Icon Breakdown — I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face (Wes Montgomery) 15:15 Watch Next — Nobody Teaches This (Wes Montgomery) #WesMontgomery #JazzGuitar #ChordMelody #JazzImprovisation
