This from the brilliant Facebook page Dust To Digital . . . . .
My dear brother Steve loved his jazz music (more than me) and amongst his heroes featuring many guitar greats was this man! Wes Montgomery! Steve loved Charlie Byrd, Django and turned me onto people like Oscar Peterson and others but I don't think I shared much interest in cross overs and was distinctly rock and pop and folk fixated but looking at this and recently paying attention to the techniques of guitarists this struck me as to how extraordinary Wes' thumb stroke style is! Astonishing! Thanks Dusty people!
