How do I find the style I want? There's so many.

I know a good song, Wild Night by Van Morrison, that has the feel, instrumentation, etc, that I want.

I've used the Audio Chord Wizard analyzer on it, but that only gives me the timing and chords, but not the 'groove'.

Is there a utility that 'extracts' the groove from the song? Or am I misunderstanding something here? Is what the Audio Chord Analyzer gave me all I need?

Or does anybody know of an existing style that would work?

I have the BIAB MegaPak.

Not sure of your BIAB version.
In 2011.5 Click Styles button.
Click Rock [realstyles] I have 37 maybe.
Select one style
Click WEB DEMO button top of the page.
This is tedious, but will get you there.
Or to broaden your search down lower.
Click RealStyles [All] I have 81 maybe.

The web demo works very well.
Allows you to walk down, or select then
play.
To speed things up, simply select next style you want
while the other one is still playing. The download
will autostart for you.

Grab a cold one and kick back, learn what you have.

Good Luck,

Seeker

There is a perfect style in Biab for that particular song. Type in the song name in the style "search" box or try using the artists name.

The bass line in the style, which I can't remember the name right now, plays like the original song. The style is there and I wish I could think of the name, sorry.

I have used that style to play that song, Wild Night by JCM.
