Metheny's Roland GR-300 guitar synth guitar solo slowly climbs to the song's peak and became a signature of his concerts.

Are You Going with Me? is a slow-building piece where Pat Metheny's Roland GR-300 guitar synthesizer guitar solo becomes the emotional peak. The groove is hypnotic and subtle, and Metheny lets the tension rise gradually, starting with patient, lyrical phrases and moving up in pitch and intensity. The synth guitar tone has a warm, horn-like quality, and his phrasing is melodic and vocal, making the solo feel like a story told slowly. It became a signature of his concerts, where he often stretched it out even further. Listen for how he holds back until the final section, letting the climax arrive only after a long, careful build.
