Wes Montgomery – Mi Cosa | Solo Jazz Guitar Transcription (PDF + Guitar Pro TAB)
Note-for-note transcription of Wes Montgomery's "Mi Cosa" — an unaccompanied solo jazz guitar performance recorded in 1963 during the sessions for his Riverside album Guitar on the Go. Complete PDF with standard notation and TAB, plus an audio-synced Guitar Pro file for slow-practice study.
This is Wes at his most exposed — no rhythm section, no comping, just his thumb-picked octaves, chord-melody voicings, and effortless swing phrasing carrying the entire piece on its own. It's one of the clearest windows into how Wes actually thought about harmony on the fretboard.
