Guitars in Space The Gibson LP Aerodynamics Corporation has solved the power system relay (psr) switch. All systems were checked out o-kay and are in harmony with each other. The dean of Dan-Electro Systems has verified the taylor made sk (Samick) boards and they are ready for the journey. The Extra Strong Plate (esp) guild has verified that the tiles are set for blast off and with survive going through the strat-osphere. Rick Enbacker is in charge of the lift off. We have lift off. The audience gave it a standing ovation. Note this is just me having fun. Many may not like this as it is not a conventional song. You have been warned.

Mario, DEFINITELY Sci Fi movie soundtrack material! Maybe not a traditional "song" per se, but absolutely a BLAST to listen to. You've definitely got an imagination from out of this world. My hats off to Mr Enbacker...

Hello Mario! Did you pick up a few flight attendants during your interstellar journey? Be careful of overheating during return to the atmosphere!

You are definitely the king of experimental music around this forum.
Always interesting to hear what comes out of your mind and heart.
Nice.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Nice. Herb, after years of playing in a wedding band playing what they wanted to hear I am now free to experiment with my music. Thanx to BiaB I am able to do that. I do like to take BiaB tracks and push them out of the "normal" genre, like taking a country style and playing jazz to it.

Aye-eye, Captain D. Headphones on, seatbelt latched, all systems go.
Man, it's amazing how you built this ship, and this is an incredible first journey. Yes, this is a super selection of conventional Mario magic. Eventually I unbuckled my seatbelt and floated around the vastness of your creation. I'd fly with you anywhere.

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
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.

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
