I've been gone from BIAB for a few years but got an idea for a version of White Rabbit as a Flamenco/ Dick Dale style backing track. Is there either a new or older guitar style that could do Flamenco.
I need to get back into BIAB, been too long gone

That's a good question. I did a search in the style finder and came up with the following. Pretty sparse on this genre/style with no specific RTs. How did this get missed all these years? crazy However, there is a midi guitar in these selections which does a good job simulating the Flamenco strum.

heres a trick to try re rabbit.
dont load up a complex style until you have arrange right.
a simple style i find makes it easier to hear if correct chords entered. and to sing along with.
then step 2 once playback in bb sounds correct THEN add further RT's and/or run further style tests useing stylemaker with more complex styles.
eg load up =POPPLTS.STY from style picker.
a simple rehearsal piano. with simple drum backing.
set tempo to 107.
(the original rabbit seems to have a fractional tempo
106.xxx probably due to tape speed variations etc in those days of yore mebe.)
it took me only a few minutes with the =POPPLTS.STY .
its basically a semitone modulation at start. then to the A
if i remember etc. ie F# start.

the challenge is to get the syncopation in bb right for rabbit.

funnily enough we have a baby one in our garden on occasion.)
totally cute.

Dan/Wyndham.
ok ive found a few styles / RT's etc worth testing out maybe.
many jazz and latin styles seem to fit. ? i found.
twould seem that understated drums might work best down low.
eg terry clark bossa drums etc. ?

some moody styles i liked after finishing chord entry are
=MOD2_BE ; =DIRE_SL ; _B140_TB <minus trombone.
at tempo 108 or 107.

RT's worth trying so far i found.
636 elec gtr; bass > 711/164/921 ; 470 noodling piano ;
also 518 bass.
1856 cello< actually in places might work.
loop pop n soul rnb
1013 nylon gtr ; NOTE ALSO SOME BOLERO GTRS MIGHT WORK
I FOUND WITH SOME EDITING.
1215 vibes down low /one side of stereo image.
1103 nylon gtr ;2791 muted trumpet down low in places might work.

just some ideas i found noodling with the arrangement.
i think syncopation in the song is very important.
hence some of my suggested RT's to try.

wyndham hope you get a grrreat end result.
apologies if some of my suggestions dont work for you.
the ideas above are just a foundation to try and build on.
it was lots of fun running tests .
