El presente estudio es un an?lisis de los tres enfoques para desarrollar textura en los solos de jazz del guitarrista Wes Montgomery. Este guitarrista fue un pilar fundamental en el desarrollo e innovaci?n de la guitarra jazz, adem?s de ser un ejemplo para las siguientes generaciones. Su enfoque se basa en un desarrollo de textura musical al igual que un incremento en densidad r?tmica y variaciones en el rango del instrumento. La primera fase es la improvisaci?n basada en l?neas mel?dicas solas, la segunda es l?neas octavas, y la tercera es improvisaci?n con acordes en bloque: 3 o cuatro notas. 2016-10-24T17:56:21Z 2016-10-24T17:56:21Z 2015-12-14 masterThesis Acosta Olivares, Sebasti?n Enridque (2015).
