Tenor Madness - Unbelievable guitar and sax duet Tomo Fujita and James Calandrella 

You destroyed this song, that solo could challenge Emily Remler's

NAMM

Hmm I find it pretty hard to read sheet music without my vision.

DiciestMikey I'm guessing you actually got my point, Right? Obviously, reading requires sight, but when people aren't playing from the printed page, guitarists, pianists, bassists, drummers, etc. have the option to benefit from looking at their instruments and hands. When you come from one of those instruments to the saxophone (and many other wind instruments and others) the difference is very apparent and relevant. Thanks for your time!

+Joseph Trahan In the very first statements in my post I said sight is no help at all, and didn't claim it would be. I also made no claims about rating 'talent' levels for various instruments. I started as a drummer and won a job as a chart-reading drummer and the youngest member of a big band comprised entirely of conservatory students, all of whom were at least three or four years older than me. Over a couple of decades I learned 4 instruments well enough to be paid enough to support a family, so I have some familiarity with difficulty levels, etc. Thanks for your input.

+Joel French could be two things; 1) you mind isn't open enough, 2) the sax player doesn't want to overpower the guitar thus the small dynamic range that he plays in.

Jahka Yes true, probably the latter of the two to be honest

@@joelfrenchmusicI know this was a while ago but James had an overly soft reed so if he pushed too hard the reed would probably have closed up on him

Same. He sounds like a funk player trying to play bebop. His articulations are too stiff and his tone is really funk-styled
