I think a good idea will be jazztherory in Band in box.

Like you give some Chord changes than you have the possibility to see what is possible to play over that.

Curly, if you're talking 'Jazz', then I thought there weren't any rules smile

No, seriously, this could be useful. Not sure where to start though.

Mike Archbold's tried and true Jazz Scale Suggester System may be a starter.

These may help:

http://www.jazzguitar.be/improvising_over_major_chords.html

http://www.markwingfield.com/teaching_pages/articles/plyovchng1.html

Google/bing scales to play over chords and you will find a lot of information on this topic.

PS - +1 for adding this to BiaB

Also sometimes I will input chords into BiaB and have it generate a melody. I never get a complete song that I like but I do get a phrase or two that I convert into a main theme. You might want to try it.


I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Hi Matt!

Exactly! Like a friend told me over II/V/I you can play Bebopdominat, but also Arpeggio.
What I wanna say is that - I typ in some Chords have a buttom what I push and can read or maybe also can see an hear what is possible to use. I hope with my bad english you can understand.

Fellas, Mark Levine not only authored his much acclaimed Jazz Piano Book, but also the magnificent Jazz Theory Book.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
