TROY BRENNINGMEYER (teaches Dobro and lap steel lessons) HIS YOUTUBE SITE his non-youtube web site is HERE Not all of his lessons are free, but he offers a LOT of free teaser lessons to acquaint people with what he has to offer. And he's a BAND IN A BOX customer, uses BIAB backing tracks for his lessons, and I think to create printed music.

Hi. I've been using Band in a Box for years and reading the forums regularly but I've just registered. Our son (12) was wanting to learn guitar but there are not any teachers near where we live so I looked at the recommendations on the forum. A few people have recommended ROG and we have found his site really useful. Our son is now learning lead and rhythm guitar and making good progress. There are backing tracks to practice to and over 100 videos for learning chords. I would certainly recommend his site to anyone else learning guitar. His site is www.music-prof.co.ukThanks for such a great forum.

I just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" to the people who've nominated us in this thread.
We're flattered by the mentions and encouraged to keep improving and adding to the site.
Many thanks too to PG MUSIC - RealBand and PowerTracks are used extensively in the preparation of our videos, particularly the backing tracks, which are used for lead solos and chords practice.
We now have 350 videos running and most of our lessons are in both English and French and strangely, even though we're based in York, England, we get more views from France than anywhere else.
So, we're pleased that you found the site useful and once again, many thanks.
ROG.

Better late than never  New user to the software.. absolutely love it.. I play blues guitar and I have to recommend Brian Sherrill from https://www.activemelody.com/ and his you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCecl4C6gPzRnvQw7hJeJz6AHe always teaches everything he plays note for note in his lessons. He has been doing this for over 5 years now. I personally have been playing since about the time dirt was discovered, but, I pick up new stuff in his videos every time. His lessons a partially free, usually the lessons are in 2 parts, with a free part and a premium member part. The premium part is very reasonable too, $7 a month, and cancel or restart anytime you want. He focuses on blues guitar, almost all styles, and worth looking at.

- Name and youtube username - Julian Bradley - JazzTutorial - https://www.youtube.com/user/jazztutorial/videos- instrument (e.g. guitar) - Keyboards- genre (e.g. jazz beginner guitar) - Jazz- comments (optional) (e.g. great teacher ...) - Julian stays focused on blending the sound of the music you are hearing with the transcription (representation) of the music. So, for example, when discussing the topic of modes/scales, you hear what a Lydian scale sounds like, and how to spot it in written form in sheet music, and how it sounds/looks different than a Mixolydian scale for a given key signature, etc. Nothing "new" about this, but Julian presents the theories in self-contained chunks that seem more organized than that which I've seen on other music theory sites.
I would really like to see PG Music collaborate with Julian on some sort of BIAB music theory package, since I enjoy Julian's insights and format.

AS we start 2017 I'd like to nominate: David Wallimann You can find him at: https://www.youtube.com/user/Wallimann/featured- Guitar - Fusion David Wallimann is a huge "you-tube" channel guy with a on-line guitar instruction site. But don't hold that against him.  This guy is a fantastic guitar instructor who absolutely goes on fire at times with his videos. I have been a follower for years. His Master Class Videos can be simply eye opening and game changing for the closet guitarist and "music student" who craves web based instruction. For any guitarist who thinks he knows how to play modally this (and I mean DW's entire class plan) is must viewing. I have had the pleasure of working with David, including a year of woodshedding with his class material. He opened my eyes to modal playing and presents this topic like no other guitar instructor. His instruction borders on "story telling" and he tell a great story based on his mastery of the guitar fret board. And by the way, he is a BIAB Guy! I know there are others in our forum who have enjoyed and been educated by DW. Would love to see him recognized and honored for his tremendous contribution to web based musical instruction.

I second that one!Graham is awesome and makes the recording/mixing process easy to understand for beginners like me.

Marty Schwartz Guitar instruction: Blues, Folk, Rock No list could be complete without our old pal and virtual guitar teacher, Marty Schwartz. Here's a sample with about nine million views: [Marty Schwartz]( https://youtu.be/llNuwhZWXKA) Marty is a pioneer in online teaching. He has kept his friendly, informal style, and most important, never stopped making toutorials. Marty's web site is Guitar Jamz.

This thread has been quiet for a while.
Eric Blackmon of Eric BlackmonGuitar
Mr. Blackmon has many great tutorials and also uses Band in a Box to create his backing tracks.
Joanne Cooper
Joanne makes wonderful backing tracks with chords and lyrics using Band in a Box/RealBand and also has a Web site with tutorials so students can create their own backing tracks to practice to.
Henry Clarke
Mr. Henry recently started tutorials and features Band in a Box tutorials that are only matched by the outstanding songs he writes, arranges, produces and performs. His songs can be found on major platforms like Spotify, Facebook and YouTube.
Mr. Blackmon is a straight up guitar music teacher while Joanne creates easy to follow, understand and play along music videos helping students learn how to play their favorite songs and Mr. Henry Clarke is a master at helping students learn arrangement and production techniques for both covers and original songs.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
