This is a complete transcription of the guitar and bass parts on this Wes Montgomery classic, “The Thumb”. As its title suggests, this tune is a thorough display of Wes Montgomery’s signature thumb-picking technique and use of octaves – this is a great practice piece for guitarists at all levels. Near the end, the guitar also references to climactic shout chorus from the Count Basie Orchestra, “Splanky”. Below all this runs a playful bass line that is extremely fun to play. Enjoy!
