Скачать или смотреть Stop Playing in "Boxes": The Wes & Django Escape Method

Are you stuck playing in static scale boxes? Most guitarists are afraid to move their index finger, but that's what limits your phrasing. In this lesson, we break down the "Diagonal" approach used by two jazz giants: Wes Montgomery and Django Reinhardt.

Based on concepts from Richie Hart (Berklee College of Music) , we compare the "Wes Line" (Stacking thirds) vs. the "Django Line" (2-finger horizontal runs).

🎸 What exactly is the “Wes Line”?

In this lesson, Junewon Choi (VoiceLid Jazz Guitar) breaks down the diagonal fretboard logic behind Wes Montgomery’s legendary phrasing — the line structure his teacher Richie Hart called The Wes Line.

You’ll learn:
• The Wes Line: How to stack thirds on top of Shell Voicings (It's not just Dorian!)
• The Django Line: How to cover 2 octaves using only 2 fingers
• The Problem: Why static "Position Playing" kills your flow and how to fix it
• Application: Examples over "Four on Six" and "Days of Wine and Roses"

This is part of the VoiceLid Jazz Guitar series, introducing the *Functional Diagonal Approach* — learning jazz guitar through chords and voice leading, not scales.
