Well we have to pedal our bikes  but we can certainly appreciate that nice and open and flowy vibe. Makes us want to head out on an adventure! Those stonez RT's and your Les Paul are hittin' the note. REALLY good. Great drums too Scott. Excellent! J&B

Scott
This one sounds very good. Really nice work on all the elements.
One of your best instrumentals.
Peter Thanks Peter for checking out the song. Really appreciate your comments. Glad you liked the song. The change is guitar voice is cool though the 2nd seemed a fair bit louder than the 1st.
You've an easily recognized style Scott...a more relaxed Hank B Marvin?
Thanks Ray. Yes the middle section was a little louder. Bit more compression in that section due to me playing with the gain on the amps. Glad you liked the song.

Groovy and laid back. I like whatever that rhythmic sound is that comes in around :40 (and later). Another nice one, Scott.

Good job! Not exactly my style, but who cares about that. The performance is great, the writing is great ... enjoyed it, it's good to broaden my mind every now and then, haha. Especially when it's this well done. Congrats :-)

Nice instrumental, Scott. Interesting and well played throughout. Really enjoyed it.
Regards,
Leon Thanks Leon. Glad you liked the song. Appreciate the comments Hi Scott,
This is a cool rocker you've made! In a certain way the Californian version of Rawhide (just kidding...).
Very nice rhythm and cool use of the synth. And of course your so recognizable lead guitar. No doubt it is Scottish!
Nice day,
Hans Thanks Hans. Glad you liked the song. Appreciate the comments. Haha. My brother plays Winter golf in Florida while I enjoy the changing seasons in the north. I like the bike. YES!! I really like your guitar/synth experiment, Scott. Man, I'd love your guitars anywhere and with anyone. Very creative and smooth. Thanks Marty A couple of years ago went down and spent sometime cruising the country side. The desert is such a beautiful place in the spring. Glad you liked the song.

Excellent choice of acoustic and electric instruments, synths work very well. And the guitar playing is the cherry on the cake, such a beautiful melody, could be from an 80's cruising movie.

Very cool production Scott!
The guitar is great.
Enjoyed.
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie. Really appreciate the comments. Glad you liked the song. A nice ride!
Enjoyed that.
The wide open sound of Western landscapes is one of my favorite musical feels. Thanks Mark for checking out the song. Glad you liked it. Hi Scott C,
It's a very nice instrumental composition that you offer us. I love the sound of your solo guitar that makes me dream of wide open spaces and the musical notes associated with them. I appreciated. Well done. thank for the sharing.
Best regard

Scott,
Nice sound!
The usage of the guitar with two different characters is wonderful.
I agree with floyd, that's a great idea to export the Realdrum Chart to midi and accented with Presonus Impact.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

I like that.
Of course I'm a guitar guy so, why wouldn't I!
It's got a bit of a spaghetti westerns vibe but, with a fresh modern twist.
The art work fits the music well.

REALLY good. Great drums too Scott. Excellent! J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for checking out the song. I found the new 2022 RT to be my favorite version upgrade. Will be using them lots. Your comments are very much appreciated and glad you liked the song. Groovy and laid back. I like whatever that rhythmic sound is that comes in around :40 (and later). Another nice one, Scott. Thanks Scott for checking out the song. The rhythm track that coming is at 40 is done with a Minilab II and Arturia Lab V. It is an arpeggio pattern played across the chords in the song.

There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). 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.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
