Hi, new forum user and new player here. My friend (who plays alto sax) and I are wanting to play Shorter's Black Nile at an upcoming jam session, and we both want to play the melody. However, we were curious about who should play what part on the tune's B section. Should I play the harmony part while my friend plays the main line on sax or vice versa? What's typical? Attached a picture of the relevant section in the sheet music. Thank you.
(Also, obligatory "sorry if this is in the wrong section")
Generally (no hard and fast rule) the sax would take the top line. Thats just because sax will blow guitar out of the water in terms of projection and the top line is usually the melody.
Listen to Miles and Milt Jackson on Bags Groove. Miles plays the melody the first time, while Milt plays the lower line. Then they switch. But whatever miles is playing sounds like the melody because of how much better the instrument cuts through.
As with others: amps, tuners and home recording.
Just realized the question is about biggest improvement. For me right now it's the amps. Soon it will be home recording, which I'm just re-visiting...
At exactly the same age, I gotta echo that 100%. THE game changer. From a Twin, then to Music Man, then to Pearce, then to (together) Quilter, Henriksen, and Genzler. Don't look back.
After reading your post, I took a look at some of the older models.
The ME25 looks interesting. It has a volume pedal and the effects I use. Since I mostly use just two sounds, the controls are...
I think those mods are fine. I like the MHS humbuckers, but they were never used in the L5. It’s not a collector’s guitar. Those EVO frets will last quite a bit longer than nickel also.

I guess that's sort of what I did. Part of the reason I like to think of these bigger tonal areas is because "Eb7" to me isn't really going to look like Eb G Bb and Db all the time. There will be...
I've had the Tonex one for a few weeks now, but need to gig it a bit more to decide if the tiny size is worth it.
Sounds decent, the software is ridiculously bad and made me lose interest in the...
I was ready to purchase this one from the get go, until I saw the mods. it's not really an Elitist anymore, or is it? Why try to modify a guitar into something it just isn't going to be or meant to...
