I will let others relate how they deal with this issue and continue working on the project they had in mind when they started. In my case, I sort of gave up and let myself be inspired by the distractions. BIAB usually has a different, and sometimes better, approach to a chord progression. I have learned to cherish the 'mistakes' and run with 'em. But I am in the vast minority. (Think everybody else vs. me. )

I’m in that vast minority with you! But I don’t think that it is a minority. If you don’t experiment with different styles and chord progressions then I believe that you are missing out on a lot of what BiaB can contribute to your musicianship.

To help answer the original question, when I’m looking for a specific style I use search in the style window. I search using either artist names or song titles of the style I was trying to copy. This will narrow your selection to a more manageable list. For example the last song I posted was a 50s song so I searched Johhny B Goode, Chuck Berry, etc until I found exactly what I was looking for.

BUT don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles. You never know what can happen when you do!

Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport, the terminal?
