This is a cool and underplayed Wes Montgomery song called “Leila”. Played solo here on my D’Angelico Excel 1-DP

What kind of strings do you use on your guitars? I like the tone…
ah yes… I forgot about that one, that was us. Yeah, Johnny Progress was the Gonz tune.
It was really Jordan High school, and this was about 2 years ago. You were with a quartet and I remember you guys played one of my favorite Jerry Bergonzi tunes. At least I reckon it was you. If not, just ignore this.
Cool, that must have been Green Hope? I’ve got a private student from there currently.
Haha, I saw you do a clinic at my high school senior year. You were with some saxophone player from Duke, I reckon… You guys did a fantastic job, and the video is awesome.
Kevin, what a fantastic tune! Wes was as excellent a composer as he was a player, for sure. Wonderful playing man!
kevin!! you have an impresive touch there! outstandig 5/5 youve got a new fan here check my teachers vidz in my channel! congrats!
Fantastic arrangement.
It isn’t that hard to do by ear.
It’s a excellent way to study too.
I’ve grown accustomed to her face &
Unidentified guitar solo are excellent ones2.
Excellent Job Kevin and very nice sound.
Gorgeous. Is this a new instrument r an original? I’m looking for one and would appreciate your advice on the newer models (2004 available to me now.)
I just went from there to KY. Sorry I missed you. Sounds fantastic and nice guitar too.
best solo jazz playing i’ve heard in a excellent long while on YT…fantastic job!
is that a real 1939 D’Angelico

Bravo!!!!
You played that perfectly! I really want to learn this song. Could you tell me where you found the sheet music/tabs to this song?
Thanks
I’m looking for it too! Hard to find for free…
Man that was so nice! I came home with an EXL-1 today. I’m luvin’ this guitar. I spotted it yesterday in a music store on the way home from work. I did some YouTube research last night and found your video. Definely convinced me to check this guitar out. I went back to the store this morning with my Epi Joe Pass Emperor in hand for a trade in and closed the deal. I can’t keep my hands off this guitar! One of my best buys ever.
Hi Kevin,
Brilliant job! I use the same guitar through a Henricksen JazzAmp 10r. Am taking jazz guitar lessons (studied classical guitar for 8 years). Did you arrange this transcription of “Leila” yourself, or do you know where I can buy the musical notation? I read both music and tab.
Thanks
Rich
so the guitars still dirty awesome
It’s not the arrow..it’s the archer!
i want your guitar!!!!!!!!
amanzing…very clean
do they still make this guitar or is it an ancient one?it sounds so right
your tone is really superb. Very Wes-esque. May I question what type of amp you go through?
