Style suggestion needed for the song Wildfire #338108 02/25/16 05:17 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

OP Joseph Land Expert J Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 888 Springfield, MO	With so many styles to choose from I am thinking it might me faster to get some advice on which style to use. I am doing Michael Martin Murphy's song Wildfire and trying to find a guitar strum that is close to the syncopated strumming they are doing in the song. Both even and swing don't seem to make the cut since the accents are more on syncopated beats. Any suggestions out there? Thanks BIAB2024 Windows 10 Pro WA6NCB

That's the secret to getting good covers with BB You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Your song tempo should be set to about 85. 1 E Abm \|2 A \|3 E Abm \| 4 A etc.... 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I used the style _CNTRYFS.STY with the following RT's 535: bass Electric Pop Sw 085 363: Pedal Steel Background Ev 085 Drums: Nashville Swing 16 ^1-Snare, Ride 380: Guitar Acoustic Strumming Syncopated Sugar Ev 102 365: Guitar Acoustic Fingerpicking Ev 085 Pushed the EMaj7 by 1/8 beat. Used this link as the chord guide and of course listened to the original song a few times. https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/m/michael_martin_murphey/wildfire_crd.htm Set the tempo to 85 to match the recording and it took off Thanks for the tip.
