[BIAB/RB] has not asked me for a raise. It has never talked back or had an attitude when I didn't like the solo. It's never late for rehearsal, doesn't drink too much at gigs, never wastes time at practice restringing a guitar, noodling between songs to impress themselves with guitar licks that don't fit this music, never whines about the music I select to play.... it's the perfect band member.





Not to mention the fact that BiaB never lets the tempo wander around needlessly and for no apparent reason...

She also never argues with me if I want to change something in an arrangement. At least, not in the sense of just plain not wanting to accept change.

Sitting at home, practicing along with BiaB has certainly forced me to analyze certain things, bad habits in playing, fingering, phrasing, etc. a lot closer than ever before.

And using BiaB also makes one much more aware of the bad things that are taken for granted with a lot of live musicians. In that regard, using BiaB is a lot like having your own sensei master onhand to critique your martial art...
