I increasingly appreciate that there is some really good stuff amongst the various Biab demo songs - interesting chord sequences and melodies, and sometimes good solos. But if the user can't produce something in the same style using Biab, the term 'demo' is a bit misleading.

There seems to be little consistency how much supporting info is available. E.g sometimes there is a note that a specific Biab melodist or soloist was used, but more often (I think - this is an impression, not a tally) not.

In some cases I would guess that melody and/or solo may not be Biab-generated, but is/was a studio effort by of one of the actual musicians ?

My wish is twofold:

1. where demos do use Biab melodist or soloist, could they always be clearly identified ?

2. where the 'song' or the solo is a studio creation, would it be possible to develop melodists or soloists that would produce something similar ?
