Maury.

Was one of the few from the era who actually really understood and could actually play the guitar. Seriously.

"Hey -- I musta took lessons!" <g>

"Operator" -- Maury's signature licks made this tune, man. Everyone who plays a guitar should learn it. IMHO. It is "right up there" alongside the original "Brown Eyed Girl" lead guitar part. And that's sayin' sumthin'. Both parts were influenced heavily by Jazz Guitar studies that the players were working out. The George Van Epps stuff IIRC.

Mac,
No offense intended, but what don't you know about music?

Just too many years of coverband and session work, man.

There was a time when a producer or another higher up would tell the guitar session he wanted somethin' like Maury did, or maybe just "that guy who played with Croce".

Ya gotta know the subject to stay employed.

Sometimes, even that is not enough.

his guitar licks reminds me a lot of red shea, gordon lightfoot's guitarist. he (red) was schooled in classical guitar and used a lot of classicl chord structure in his work with lightfoot. you can hear it in his tunes.

That would be due to the use of Double Stops, especially in scale runs where there are two notes of the scale playing together, either ascending or descending.

The guitar lends itself so well to these, especially in the skipstring 6ths and 3rds, that I have often wondered why so many guitar players never bother to learn or expoit those patterns more.

You've got to be kidding, Mac....Rhythm and blues playing guitarists have been using double stops since the cows came home... Recall a fellow named Chuck Berry, then check memory cells for a Texan named Johny Winter, and most blues guitarists of our generation including, Clapton, Duane Allman, all the Kings, Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and most slide players as well. Learning those by ear as a staple set of riffs, in any key has been a required right of passage for any aspiring blues player attempting to play like these icons. Listen at 1:34 of so and hear such a staple... And I don't think he spent much time with your friend George... though I must admit, I was stunned to realize that Steve Vai was not the creator of the first seven string guitar!

If you listen to Croce's albums, his music is timeless. His music has always been enjoyable. I only wish I could have heard him live before he died.

I would never kid about something so important (grin).

You must have overlooked the part I wrote about *scale-based* double-stop runs.

The example you cite is not a Double Stop. Duane was *arpeggiating* there, and he used a slide, which would make the scalar motion double stop in 3rds or 6ths unable to cross from major to minor on the steps of the scale where needed. And the two notes must be played simultaneously to do what I'm talkin' about. -- "Brown Eyed Girl" man.

And Georgie don't play no double stop scale runs.

Now, if you had mentioned Skunk Baxter...

Maury Muehleisen, Jim's lead guitarist, was a good friend of mine and actually taught me some of my first lessons on the guitar. I taped them during a jam session once in a church in Trenton, NJ.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
