Mark,

A keyboard player of sorts, not piano, but think this may help.
Band In A Box also comes with software name RealBand.
It is a DAW, Digital Audio Workstation.

You can create your backing tracks, MIDI, or Realtracks(BIAB real instruments)
in BIAB. Then move them into RealBand. You can then setup mic's or whatever
recording instrument you need and play/record along with the existing tracks.

There are many guitar folks on these forums doing just that.

You can import about 6-8 different audio types into RealBand.

Keep in mind there is a free 30 day trial period for BIAB/Realband.

Being a "bit of a PC geek" to quote another member helps a great deal.
Also folks on these forums are very helpful, and PG music support is outstanding.

This will also answer a lot of questions, FAQ's video's and tutorials.

Good Luck!
