If arranger days are numbered, why do manufacturers keep producing new models? Is that because there’s an audience out there to enjoy arranger playing, or just for the benefit of buyers, like us? My patrons are basically middle age to senior folks, who seem to want music they recognize and enjoy----not how it’s made or presented to them. To provide a little more variety in my solo routine, I’ve been seriously thinking about moving back toward guitar more, with vocals, using backing tracks created on arrangers. Would the end result be any different than simply playing the arranger straight away?
