I want to find a blues style demo in a minor key but I can't seem to work out how to do this. I put 'minor' in the Filter box but only got 6 styles. Is there a way to do this, other than load a demo and change each of the chords manually to minor?

I just load the style I want in BB and then select the KEY from the list.... there are major as well as minor keys available.... the style will use the key you select.

The key is there to tell the computer what scale to use since a minor key has a flat third. That's important to the solo instruments.

Don't worry with the filter..... just match the key and go.

If I understand you - you want to go to the stylepicker, select a style, click "load song demo" and be able to select weather or not the song demo is written an a major or minor key. I don't thing that is possible. I think every style has one song demo associated with it, and it may be major or minor - that was up to the PG folks who created the song demo.

Maybe the best bet is to have a song you create in a minor key, then audition different styles in that song. I know that's not what you want, but best I can see.

Look at the songs in the "BLUJAMC" folder.
