In general Bruce is on the left side and Kenny is on the right side of the mix, but they are not panned all the way, so even knowing that, it’s a bit hard to hear who is who. Here are some tips while you listen.

“Heard Instinct” by Bruce Arnold
Guitarist Bruce Arnold’s “Heard Instinct” is a showcase for his formidable melodic compositional chops. It also recalls the wide open spaces of his native South Dakota. The head is a delicate reminiscence segueing into a solo admirably played with petal soft sensitivity by Kenny Wessel. Bruce Arnold takes the solo into flashier territory before bringing it back to its tender conclusion. “Heard Instinct” is a song with a simple melody, and a haunting emotional core.

This is an AABA form which has a written part for both guitars for the head. It is basically structured as a counterpoint. Bruce plays the melody by himself (A) then at 0:16 Kenny enters with counterpoint (written) and Bruce continues by repeating the A head. The bridge appears at 0:32 and Kenny switches to melody. Then 0:48 is the last A where Bruce plays the melody. At 1:04 Kenny solos over the form. At 2:05 Bruce solos, then at 3:15 he plays the melody.

Heard Instinct CD Notes for “Sunset” by Kenny Wessel
Kenny plays the melody free while Bruce comps. The bridge comes in at 0:25 to approximately 0:35, then the melody is restated. 1:08 starts Kenny’s solo. The soloist cues each chord during the solos. 1:48 Kenny plays parts of the melody then continues soloing. Bruce solos at 4:25, again free soloist cueing each chord change. At 6:19 Kenny comes back in with melody. At 6:58 they start trading and playing together. Each soloist plays the chords in order but changes the speed at which the chords change creating a random collage and hopefully not playing over the same chord at the same time.Thus the soloing gets more and more free until 8:15 when Kenny comes back to the melody to the end.
“Sunset”
