This is my first post of 2020. I was going through the different settings of the new 2020 BIAB and found this in the Style Picker. The demo song sounded really nice so I just quickly put some chords in main window and let it go. Really liked the backtrack so I flipped it over to Reaper and blended two different guitar tracks together.

The Harp

Title: The Harp
File:Harp.SGU
Key=C , Tempo 75, Length (m:s)=3:37
32 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 32. Repeat x2 choruses

Scott, this is pure magic. Beautifully played and the harp just give it that amazing sound. Pure bliss from start to finish, and the guitars coming in around the 3 min mark is exquisite

Hello Scott,

I didn't think you were such a romantic, doing songs with a harp.
I was thinking of doing such a thing, but now you are ahead of me!
It is a very nice, sweet, somewhat dreamy song. I like that, although it's instrumental...
I was wondering what was on your mind making this melody?

Cool! There are some interesting melodic choices there that give it more edge than a typical new-agey sound tune. smile

A beautiful, mesmerizing piece. Your guitar floats nicely with the harp playing.

I am a sucker for a harp, too, this was like catnip for me. Your playing fit well and gave it a nice dimension sonically. Good work!

Scott - thaht's lovely.
sweet & precise except for that little spot at 0.41 where the two guitars don't seem to like each other.
Well done playing & blending the guitars. The delay is nice too.


Cheers

Hi Scott ...

Well, this is a little something different from you ... and a real pleasant listen! The music just seems to float, surrounding our ears with delicate wafting. love the sound of your guitar. Super playing!!!

I played a Cherry red ES-335 for many years ... traded it for an ES-175. Now play a Fender Tele and a Stromberg Monterey. Again. really, really nice song!

Best to you ...

Alan

The harp and other backing is very nice but
the centerpiece of this is your sublime melodic
playing.

You make excellent use of those Gibsons.

Superb!!!

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)!
