Hey, bud. I "pick a little" and use one of three guitar players as often as I can, with an arranger and without.

It really depends on the player's style. I often turn the auto chords completely off and just use left-handed bass, if the player is a heavy and "dead on" chord player, and can integrate chords and lead lines. Of course, that works best with smooth jazz, not tunes with instantly recognized guitar chord sections.

Just try it out. Have the guitarist just "lay out" on intros and endings.

A player like you will do just fine.

Just with the OTHER player (the Guitarist) was....ME!


What FUN!
