Check out their records. They play together on a lot of them and sound really good together.

Direi che pochi si avvicinano a quei due!

@jazztom86, On this particular tune, some of the changes are hard to solo on, and without Aaron's tactful chordal support, it would be too empty since Mike is not doing a chord-melody solo here. As a guitarist, I'd love to have Aaron's level of percussive and melodic bass-like chord support on this tune. This session was also recorded (obviously not a live feed) with a very prominent piano sound. A better mix in recording would have done justice to both Mike and Aaron.

As much as I love Aarons playing, I think he should leave more space to Mike, both when he's soloing and comping. I mean, we know he's a great pianist, and that he could do everything on his own, but he's not really interacting with Mike, I think, he's covering him with to much playing. I hate comparing musicians, but I think the Metheny Mehldau version is more equilibrated. It's easy for a pianist intimidating a guitarist by playing a lot of big chords, but that's not making music together.IMHO

To SoulCall : He holds his pick with thumb and MAJOR, not index. That's not unique, I know at least one other guitarist, in a complete different style,  Mattias Eklundh.

I have Invisible Cinema, and I love that Album. But it's not what he's doing right here. I'm not saying he's a bad musician. I'm saying that in my opinion he should leave more space to Mike here.
