Izzy. Bags full of punch here gives a great rocking, foot tapping sound. Well done. Vic Late Apology 🥺 Cheers, Vic! I’m glad the bags of punch didn't just end up being bags of air. Glad to hear the track is foot-tapping. I was worried it might just be foot-shuffling-to-find-the-off-switch , so this is a relief! Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. best Izzy.

It's a pity that the problem persists in the Audiophile version of BIAB2026.

If I try to reply in the prose and verse of an 18th century poet I fear, lest I stand, shuttered and tattered, admist the fury and tempestuous winds that blow ill, I might, pray tell, falter and perchance, yet not surprisingly, find myself prostrate on yon hardened surface. Myself, yet to rise up and in the end, shake off the dross that doth entangle and asaile and to simply find a victory where none wasth appear to be. Yet somehow, to recount the musical fusillade upon which mine own ears were assaulted in a most sinister and spritely manner. All that can be said has been said but nonetheless, I shall once again attempt in my best intention and with all due honest as is befitting a comrade in arms...... Mighty fine job. Late Apology 🥺 Herb I am drafting this message with a quill in one hand and a steadying cup of tea in the other, lest I suffer the same 'tempestuous winds' you so vividly described! Your poetry absolutely made my day and put a huge smile on my face. There is no dross to be shaken off here, only the pure joy of reading such a clever and humorous critique. Thank you for taking the time to listen—and for the poetic theater that accompanied the review. It was a treat! 👋 👋 👋 💯 I’m thrilled you enjoyed the track—'Mighty fine job' is the highest compliment a comrade in arms could hope to receive. Thanks for being such a great sport (and for teaching me a few new fancy ways to describe a "musical assault"!. 😁 Regards Izzy

Iz, I absolutely love this rockin', Common Man's anthem! Great vocals, the band has terrific energy, and I like that double-time verse. Lyrics are solid, too. This hits on all cylinders! As to your request that negative criticism be in 18th century verse, while I am not too bad at heroic couplets, I would have nothing to relate in this instance. ; ) Late Apology 🥺 Bob, You are a gentleman and a scholar! Your grace in sparing me a critique in heroic couplets is noted with the utmost gratitude. I had my rhyming dictionary at the ready, trembling at the thought of being verse-slaughtered by a master of the craft! I am delighted to hear the track struck such a chord—it seems the 'Common Man's anthem' has found its common fan. Thanks for the boost! And Bob , because you are an EXCELLENT WordMonger as well as a TuneMonger , should you ever find a flaw in my future work, I shall expect my critique in strict AABB rhyme scheme, signed and sealed with wax! 😊 Thank you for your kind words Bob regards Izzy

Hey, all. I bought the JGMC a few years ago on sale but held off until I was better. I tried it last night (love that Windows 3.1 interface) and right off the bat, Oliver Gannon says something about chord sheets with Xs to indicate muted strings. I clicked everywhere but can't find any traditional chord charts to print out. Am I looking for something that doesn't exist and I'm supposed to just follow the animated fretboard? As far as I can tell, there's the toolbar, a piano keyboard, the guitar fretboard, and then a huge window where I can either have help tips or midi notation. Am I missing something? Cheers, doogiet

Perfecto! Back in the day we used to watch some major boxing matches. Your lyric and the music captures the feel so well. We agree with Ezekiel’s comments completely. This made us laugh out loud: “She got a tattoo that says Moider Da Bum!” You nailed the Tom Waits vibe too! J&B Thanks, J&B! And thanks for the quote!

Caramba y crikey! This song is 100% superb bluesy-blues-with-a-blue-BANG-coloured-deep-mega-blue-azureified-blueness! Or to put in a sane manner, this is one of the very best blues songs I've ever heard! I've never heard Janice sing better, and Peter's guitar is 100%. The entire song in all respects is a 100-per-center! Man, all the work we put into was worth your first sentence! 😀 How cool. And the comments that followed are hugely appreciated. Thank you! J&B

I have purchased the bias 2026 for Mac and it seems that the Guitar Chord Diagrams feature in the notation window has been removed. Is this a bug or am I missing something? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32749&filename=Screenshot 2026-06-16 at 19.57.14.png)

Hi Marty! A great non-blues song! I thought I detected a dim chord - and there it was … Ebm7b5 … half diminished! Well utilised. I love that slow down ending - perfecto! I had to laugh during the video when the swirling patterns cover what is going on behind closed doors. I can see why giving AI the prompts for the actual scene might be problematic.  Fine lyrics as well. “… make it through the night“ Oh to be young again. But, that has a different meaning for me nowadays. Good song! Andrew

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
