As Jim says a 2 in 1 is a laptop that can be folded into a tablet. Initially I thought I’d use it in tablet mode but have subsequently found it easier for me to use in laptop mode. The laptop is an Acer I7 with 512g SSD. I sit it on a stand a bit to the side of me. Attached is a Presonus 24C audio interface through which I plug my guitar and the output goes into a Samson 800w PA.

The guitar (my olde Tele) goes through TH3 (amp sim) which is controlled with a Behringer FCB1010 midi foot controller. Doing it this way everything is balanced. By that I mean the guitar to the backing tracks. On the FCB1010 I have a volume pedal so I can lift in solos, the volume pedal is preset so I cannot get too loud or to quiet. The second pedal I use to control the speed of an auto wah.

Songbook pro scrolls through the song in time with the backing showing the words and chords to the song. It also controls the song play back which in my case are all BIAB based songs rendered, then mixed etc in Reaper, then converted to MP3 at 320kbps.

As for the songs they are all covers and missing the guitar bits as well as the vocals they are simply done. (I believe it is better to do something simple well than something complex badly.). Being covers I feel a bit nervous about putting them where they can be heard.

That about covers it.

Edit: Lambada I sent you a PM with a link to a few songs. Note these are not public. They are backing tracks without vocals or lead guitar which I do live.
