Yes, the piano certainly delivered all that had been demanded of it. No question about the speed of the action. Impressive.

That gets me to the question of what is the definition of being successful? Regarding the definition of being musically successful, I think we need to recognize 2 things. 1. That musical success is also on a spectrum and not Boolean 2. The context If the context is global (Dolly Parton and Brenda Lee were mentioned above), Levitin might ask the following questions. How many gold and platinum albums has the artist/performer sold? How many total albums were sold? What was the largest gig performed? How many international concerts were played? How many late-night TV interviews and “Ed Sullivan” appearances were made? What do other globally successful musicians have to say about the artist? What top-shelf-expert musicians and orchestras were collaborated with? Was the artist honored by being inducted into xyz hall of fame? How many Grammy and other awards were won? How has the artist meaningfully advanced his/her genre(s)? How many books have been written about the artist’s story and his accomplishments? Whether alive or dead, what level of influence did the artist have? How many documentaries and movies were made on the artist? What level of connection does the artist have with his fan base? In short, how deep is the artist’s resume, credentials and influence? I don’t know the answers for Dolly and Brenda Lee, but I’ll bet that info isn’t too hard to find.

Generally, I do the RIT endings manually. It only takes a few minutes and lets you control it precisely. I add a couple of new measures to the end. Shut off the canned ending or add enough measures so your hold fades completely. I tend to add 8 measures that will get edited out later in the DAW I take the last 4 measures and change the number of beats from 4 to 2. In the first one, I set a new tempo less than the song tempo.. For example if the song is 120, you would set the first 2 beat measure to 112bpm. The next one gets set to 102bpm, the third one gets set to 90bpm, and the fourth to 78bpm. Set the very last measure in your song to any tempo but do a HOLD on that chord. If the drums play, you can silence them in one of several ways. You can use the D.pgb which exempts the piano, guitar, and bass letting them ring. You could also simply ignore the drums and export the files to a DAW and silence/edit them in the DAW. I use the second method all the time. Most of the time the dot following the chord works and sometimes I have to edit it in the DAW. Regarding the tempos I used in the example..... you will probably have to adjust them to fit by playing it several times editing the tempos as needed. I find that using 8 beats divided across 4 measures allows the tempo to RIT without sounding like it's taking steps down. You want it to be as natural sounding as possible. It depends on how drastically you want the RIT to be. You can do it over a longer time using 6 or even 8 two beat measures but I find that 8 beats total often work extremely well and sound natural.

<...snip...> Natural talent (or a knack for something) is a thing I've been in this business for a looooong time. I also used to give private lessons on saxophone. Some people get it quickly, some never get it, no matter how hard they work. I knew a gigging keyboard player once who didn't have much talent. He played the songs mechanically well. Even after gigging for a living for years, you could see he was working with the keyboard. He was not one with the instrument. Plus, everything was stiff with very little emotional phrasing or dynamics. This is probably why most of his gigs were background music gigs at restaurants. He was a nice guy though. He moved from the area decades ago, I hope he is still gigging.

LOVE, Love, love this!! A clever and fun write, authentic and genuine and personal. The kind of song that people relate to and that generates strong emotions. I think my favorite lyric is: "I will prove that I can still shred" And you should not be apprehensive about singing your songs, Mario. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Sir, and a blessed New Year! Thanx so much Scott. Singing and singing effects are one of my weak spots so I'm glad you liked it. Have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

Soloists don't relate at all to the style. You could use the same soloist for any selected style, and while the generated riffs will be slightly different, the generated solo will sound similar in each style. Soloists follow the chord progression, and as you can see from the list, relate more to the tempo, feel (swing, straight, 8ths or 16ths). Probably don't want to select a swing 130bpm soloist for a straight 8ths at 60bpm song.
