@@fretsstringsthings cooperate more with the piano during the sax solo. chords were played too chaoticly, rhythm syncopation was a bit over the place. i think it would have worked by either not playing or playing longer chords at a lower volume to let the piano cooperate. guitar does the "background padding" and the piano the rhythmical accompaniment. Eventually the fusion and bring the energy up leading to the end of the saxophone solo.
6:40 - yep, been there, always my experience with guitarists. They are too loud and they comp over the piano. It's hard to build a good solo with another chordal instrument stepping over your rhythm and chords, particularly when you are trying to play outside.
Alterate and layout usually. If it is someone I play with regularly, then it's more of a symbiotic approach. The better musicians tend to take turns or hold back on comping a bit to feel the other players out if it is something like a jam where nobody knows each other .@@fretsstringsthings
Nice solo by Greg! The guitarist was treading on everyone's toes a bit, but other than that, nice version.
It was a nice solo! What would you have had the guitarist do differently?

@@jazzpote4316 thank you- I’ve been paying much closer attention to the interplay lately!
@@fretsstringsthings no worries, great solo though, keep going!

Too loud is an issue. Do you alternate with the guitarist and lay out, or have you found most guitarist to be oblivious to that approach, too?
