I do as well. Seen an old TV performance of Wes from the 60's. He never once looked down to see what he was playing. What a true natural and wonderful muscian he was. ESSENTIAL RECORDING
i have never played with a jazz guitarist that doesnt sample some of his wes' octave style in their solo. im guilty of it too.
I play in a quartet and one of the tune's we play is 4 on 6. The guy is increadible. Great tone, even during some of the quicker runs he does.
Yeah, he's definitely a jazz legend. Not my favorite jazz guitarist, but of course he's awesome and I'm very much influenced by him...
