Thanks Jim,

I have a new friend who plays guitar and bass. We get along really well and we want to play together, just the two of us.

The idea was to use BB or any other software to generate a backing track for parts we can not play.

Almost every country cover tune we like has pedal steel guitar and fiddle parts. In general the pedal steel parts are signature licks for the song. Sleepwalk and All My Exes Live In Texas are perfect examples. The point being, the intro for example has to be pretty close to work. I am trying to learn to emulate steel on guitar but I am a long way from making it sound like anything I would feel comfortable to play in public...lol

I have really been struggling to figure a way to deal with this issue. Like many guitar players, I have given little thought in the past to music theory or sight reading. Being able to use software like BB or any DAW for that matter brings up a whole new set of issues.

All My Exes Live IN Texas is one of the top 100 all time great songs. If any one has a idea how to build a backing track I would really like to hear about it.

At this point the only answer I can come up with is to pay someone to play and record the steel part.

Cheers,

Billy
