I have all of the RealTracks with Biab. I have searched for an Electric Guitar RT that plays a fingerpicked type of pattern, but unable to find one?

Looking for a clean Strat that fingerpicks the chords instead of strumming them? Is there none of these in the RT's?

Thanks

Try the Arp electrics. They can give you that type of sound.
(filter on "guitar electric arp")

There is a 12-string electric fingerpick.

You can try the Campfire area, there's finger picking there.

I've always liked that song.... and the band.

That particular riff has a certain rhythmic aspect that will be hard to duplicate with BB & RT.

I would like a constant fingerpick across the notes. The one you mentioned is ok, but only rarely fingerpicks more then two or three notes in a bar.

I appreciate the help.

There are some arpeggios midi guitars styles you can use on a virtual instrument or use the pattern from Hysteria.mid transpose to your chords.

A bit pricey but has lots of picking/strumming patterns:

There are some really good Styles based on Chet Atkins's picking. It's a Country Gentleman, not a Strat, but maybe you can overlook that. cool

HTH,

I also want a clean Strat sound at times. I have had some success at times by bringing acoustic guitar sounds into my DAW and using Guitar Rig 5 Pro to change the original sound to a clean Strat sound. There are other guitar VSTs that will do the same.

If the finger picking style has less notes per measure than I would like I sometimes insert other notes into the measure with Melodyne. This is less work than it may look like at first glance because of the repetitive nature of finger picking.

There may be programs other than Melodyne that can do this but I have not used them.

Hope that can help.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
