Greetings fellow PG Music fans!
While working with some of the neat features and soloists within BIAB 2013 I have come up with this little tune on my ReverbNation web site. When you have a moment, check it out.

I have been enjoying another way to use BIAB where I take excerpts from its song styles and solos, mix in a little Jamstix drum & percussion along with loops within Cakewalk DAW rounded up with my live guitar and I feel like I am in a virtual collaboration songwriting session!

Hope you enjoy the songs.

Thanks all for your encouraging words, gang. I should remember to note the RT solos I use. I will go back in and reply with the solo tracks used for this tune.

The guitar parts actually were using a Talkbox named Banshee 2 by Rocktron. It is the best Talk box I ever used. It is self contained unit that does not require any additional drivers. I want to work it in a little more. I took the idea of using it in a jazz style tune from Steely Dan's "Haitian Divorce." I used a finger picking technique as the plectrum did not give me a desirable result.

You do hear Santana'esque in some of the songs. I always liked the way he blends Blues with Latin percussion. Carlos, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tony Mottola, Joe Satriani, and Hank Garland in my opinion are greatest contributors to the guitar. I am not qualified to change their strings! smile
