WES MONTGOMERY
Before Wes Montgomery even thought about playing guitar, his famous brothers, vibraphonist Buddy and bassist Monk (surely the first modern jazzman to play the Fender electric bass), had left the family home in Indianapolis for fame and fortune with their MJQ-like combo, the Mastersounds. Because Wes was self-taught he learned how to play guitar using only his thumb.
