Can anybody tell me the song that the PG ALWAYS demo (RT AcGuitSouthern 85) is based on. It’s a beautiful progression and that D7alt chord is very moving for me for some reason. Cheers.

(I suspect I’ll hear someone say “Always” Bon Jovi ? perhaps although I'm not familar with it)

That's a 4 Maj7 going to a 3 7 alt ... common chord change not based on any song in particular.


Have Fun!

Okay, you've got my curiosity up, where do I find this demo to hear it?

Toucher:

Look in the RealTracks - Demos folder. Don't forget, the realdrums and the all realtracks files and all the other files (sans - or =) have sepatate alphabetic listings down the page. It should be there, IF you have all the RTs.

Thanks Peter. Well it deserves a melody by someone cleverer than I. For now the "490 Sax, Alto, Jazz Ballad Sw 085"
is a very soothing substitute for this old baby boomer at least. Band-in-the-Box has certainly matured into a phenomenal piece of software.
Looking forward to no doubt new additions in the future.

Cheers.

Couldn't find it in my current RT demo folder, but I just ordered the newest sets, so it may be it that group. If not, guess I"ll live without it until I come across it. Thanks

Open the Style Picker Window, then use the "Search" function to find the Style =Always. You can then open the Demo file.
