Besides 99 percent of them don't have a clue what an arranger is. They assume everything is sequenced and I'm playing on top of it, because that's the only technology they've even heard of outside of a four or five piece band.
They are always willing to "go get their guitar" and sit in with me, or have me "call if you ever need a guitar player".
I'm not saying that what you say isn't true in many cases; just saying WHO CARES?? smile

I agree Don 100%...on top of that I think arranger players are so much more talented ...why because we are controlling and playing the parts of the whole orchestration instead of just one single part....."who cares" is the right answer.
