I'll be there are a lot of working arranger users like me who started off working as a guitar player.

I was wondering:

1. Do you still play guitar on your single jobs?

2. How do you incorporate guitar (or instruments other than arranger keyboard(s) into your act?

3. Did your knowledge of guitar make the transition to keyboard easier?

I played guitar for 20 years before I began playing organ. By that time, the security and money was in solo acts. Now, I keep a nylon string Goden on the bandstand. Especially early in the evening, I play 4-5 instrumental solos per set. No sequences, just nylon string. I also play a big jazz guitar in a fusion group.


What about you?
