Essential Video for Guitarists

Essential Video for Guitarists

Adrian Ingram, the British guitarist and author of the biography “Wes Montgomery,” serves as the instructor for a two-volume video series. One volume thoroughly investigates Wes Montgomery’s playing techniques, while the other explains the basics of jazz guitar. These videos are produced by “Stefan Grossman’s Guitar Workshop, Inc.” in the United States, and in Japan, the distribution rights are held by “TAMT,” which previously reprinted Wes’s sheet music books originally published by Nichion.

These videos come with Japanese subtitles, making them easy to follow. They are a must-watch for beginners, those aspiring to play like Wes, professional hopefuls, and even established pros. Kiyohito Koizumi, who consistently demonstrates exceptional talent, supervises the two-volume video series. As you may know, Koizumi has contributed to various music magazines and translated the aforementioned biography of Wes Montgomery, making him the perfect fit for this project.

I want to highlight again that Koizumi himself appears as an instructor in another video series dedicated to Wes Montgomery’s techniques. Are you familiar with it?

In this series, Wes-style guitarist Koizumi explains everything from Wes’s techniques to his sound. He provides a complete breakdown of “Sundown,” covering both backing and solo parts. Additionally, he offers detailed explanations of thumb picking, octave techniques, and the settings for guitars and amps. This video series is simply outstanding.
