Audio & Video Clips Of Monte Montgomery
A few years ago I was channel surfing and I saw some guy playing
the hell out of an acoustic guitar on a show called Austin City Limits. It
turned out to be a fellow named Monte Montgomery from Austin, TX. He
plays an acoustic guitar like it was an electric guitar. I was blown
away. And his drummer and bass player are also
extremely talented. It's amazing that three people can make so much
wonderful music.
Below are some audio & video clips of Monte in Windows
Media Format. The Windows Media Player probably came with your
computer but if you need the latest version you can get it by clicking
here.
On some connections, the video may be a bit jerky as it "buffers"
while streaming in the video. In that case you might let it completely
finish and then play it again. Remember, he's playing an acoustic guitar!

Video Clips
"Romeo & Juliet" (2 and 1/2 minutes) - breathtaking technique...clip courtesy of Brent Perry
"Took Too Long" (4 and 1/2 minutes) - clip courtesy of Brent Perry
"When Will I" (5 minutes) - I converted much of the Quick Time movie on the "Mirror" CD
So you think you like Hendrix's version of "Little Wing"? Maybe SRV's
version? Well, Monte does it better - and on an acoustic! Below
are four segments of Monte and his band doing "Little Wing" at Gruene Hall back in
1998. Each segment is two minutes long and they are fairly high
quality so on slow connections it might take several minutes to "buffer" each
segment. But it's worth the wait. All four segments

"Little Wing" - segment #1 (2 minutes)
"Little Wing" - segment #2 (2 minutes)
"Little Wing" - segment #3 (2 minutes)
"Little Wing" - segment #4 (2 minutes)
