I realize I should know this -- okay I've reached the bottom and I'm ashamed. But I have to ask or if I spend another sleepless night at this then BiaB is going packing! I need my sleep more than I need to toot a horn. But, the wife says I will toot -- then I must toot! Thus, I come to you ...

Okay, many years ago I played trumpet. Over the past several years I've dabbled with guitar. Well, the wife went and messed up my perfectly dull life and bought me both for Christmas. I now have a beautiful new trumpet and guitar starring at me at this very moment BEGGING me to play them.

Here's the deal ... I want to play both. I have purchased a few play-along jazz books for my Trumpet. I have purchased a few play-along books for my Guitar. I want to use BiaB to practice, play along, and when I get much better (perhaps when he** freezes over), then I think I might enjoy hearing myself play along with these backing tracks that I've bought. And yes, I'll probably lie and tell the grand-kids that I used to play the "strip".

Finally! Here's the question (and yes, I've read the posts about transposing at all hours of the night -- and day): Other than telling me that this software has 99 different ways I can approach this, can you tell me how I COULD best deal with the transposing issue. Note: The Trumpet play-along's are written for Bf Trumpet.

Thank you ... I'll check for answers here when the sun comes up! If things don't go right, I'll MAKE that guitar sound the same as a trumpet!
