I have 2012.5 and all the styles, but this has me baffled. HELP!!!!

Same kinda riff as in ZZTop's "La Grange".

And again in The Hombres' "Let It All Hang Out".

Hard to know exactly what yer lookin' for, my friend, since you added those extra two examples while I was lookin' and auditionin' styles.

Anyway, I entered those three doggone chords for Gloria - |E - D A| and repeated 'em over ln over just like we used to do back in the day when we wuz Jammin' in Joe's Garage.

Realtracks seem to be the way to go IMO.

Try _TXBLZFN -- AND mute or kill the guitar solo on Piano track

MAYBE...

Hmmm, I don't have that style -- is it a new 2012.5 one? I should have all the others.

I couldn't find the exact style name, but I found these



The 3rd one down has a "*" prefix.

The asterisk is not part of the Stylename.

Asterisks in the Style Picker Window indicate styles that may match the feel of the Style loaded at the time.

That is the "prototype" style. You can change that at the bottom of the Stylepicker using the Prototype button to view an asterisk in front of any styles that might match the style picked in the loaded songfile.

The filename as I corrected it above is indeed the filename of the style.

I sent an email to PG Music support telling them that I am missing the _TXBLZFN style. I'll let you know what I find out.

You could download that style at

http://nn.pgmusic.com/pgfiles/jazzu/misc/_TXBLZFN.STY


Note that you need to also have the RealTracks and RealDrums that the style calls for. If you don't, a yellow message will appear.


Have Fun!

Is this style in one of the standard midi style (0 - 77) or in one of the realtrack sets (if RT's which one)? I should have all the 2012 sets, so I don't know why I would be missing that. (If if it a 2012.5 set, then that would explain it).

Here is info on the style. Note that it is a funky blues 16th note style, that has a guitar soloist addded (a double-timed solo that is playing 16th notes instead of 8th notes). It is a good example of how 8th note type Soloists can be used at half-tempo (double time) and play 16th notes.

That cello realtrack is what I am really missing out on! I guess I'll have to wait for BIAB 2013 (AKA the post-Mayan Release).
