Trying to find a boogie style (similar to Canned Heat's "Gotta Boogie" or "Fried Hockey Boogie")
Have typed Boogie style in the Stylepicker filter without success.
Anyone know if BB has a Boogie style like this?

thanks

Well, first off, the Canned Heat style there is not a true Boogie. They just used the word in the title and lyrics while actually playing in a rather simplified Blues style.

"Boogie" is characterized by a repetitive left hand on the Piano, predominantly.


Go thru the EV Blues styles to find one to fit these songs. There ought to be a Roadhouse or Texas Blues Realstyle or three that could do these, and surely there are others, even in the MIDI styles that could work.

Yep... I agree with Mac.

Canned Heat was a cool band. Their style was, as Mac stated, more of a blues straight ahead EVEN style. Boogie tends to be a SWING style.

I often think of Going Up The Country when I think of CH and that is an even style.

I think if you search the styles with even Blues, you will find something close to what you need.

Take them over to REAL BAND from BB and you can substitute different bass players and their styles. Make notes so you can remember what players and track numbers worked best for you in a given song.

OK Thanks
I was looking for the simple bass line out of songs like "Gotta Boogie" where the bass continually plays the particular phrase over the whole song (AAAAAAACD) Cant find it anywhere in the styles so probably easier to play in manually smile

Though "... Country" is certainly CH's most well known song, it was pretty atypical of their material ... sung in a kind of falsetto by Alan Wilson (instead of usual lead singer Bob Hite), it had a flute in it, etc.
