🎸Wes Montgomery’s ii–V lines sound different for a reason.
In the previous lesson, we learned the “Wes Line” — the diagonal idea that creates the m7 (ii) sound.
But today, we uncover the OTHER SIDE of the Wes Line:
The same diagonal logic creates the *V7 sound* when shifted.
You’ll learn:
• How the Wes Line becomes ii(m7)
• How the “other side” becomes V7
• Why this diagonal mirror explains Wes’s ii–V flow
• How to apply this on real ii–V–I progressions
• How Django and Wes used the same mirrored structure
This is one of Wes’s real improvisational secrets — not scales, but diagonal harmony.
