I've been gone from BIAB for a few years but got an idea for a version of White Rabbit as a Flamenco/ Dick Dale style backing track. Is there either a new or older guitar style that could do Flamenco. I need to get back into BIAB, been too long gone Wyndham
That's a good question. I did a search in the style finder and came up with the following. Pretty sparse on this genre/style with no specific RTs. How did this get missed all these years? However, there is a midi guitar in these selections which does a good job simulating the Flamenco strum.
heres a trick to try re rabbit. dont load up a complex style until you have arrange right. a simple style i find makes it easier to hear if correct chords entered. and to sing along with. then step 2 once playback in bb sounds correct THEN add further RT's and/or run further style tests useing stylemaker with more complex styles. eg load up =POPPLTS.STY from style picker. a simple rehearsal piano. with simple drum backing. set tempo to 107. (the original rabbit seems to have a fractional tempo 106.xxx probably due to tape speed variations etc in those days of yore mebe.) it took me only a few minutes with the =POPPLTS.STY . its basically a semitone modulation at start. then to the A if i remember etc. ie F# start.
the challenge is to get the syncopation in bb right for rabbit.
hth/ymmv oldmuso (who likes furry rabbits but never eats them. funnily enough we have a baby one in our garden on occasion.) totally cute.

Dan/Wyndham. ok ive found a few styles / RT's etc worth testing out maybe. many jazz and latin styles seem to fit. ? i found. twould seem that understated drums might work best down low. eg terry clark bossa drums etc. ?
some moody styles i liked after finishing chord entry are =MOD2_BE ; =DIRE_SL ; _B140_TB <minus trombone. at tempo 108 or 107.
RT's worth trying so far i found. 636 elec gtr; bass > 711/164/921 ; 470 noodling piano ; also 518 bass. 1856 cello< actually in places might work. loop pop n soul rnb 1013 nylon gtr ; NOTE ALSO SOME BOLERO GTRS MIGHT WORK I FOUND WITH SOME EDITING. 1215 vibes down low /one side of stereo image. 1103 nylon gtr ;2791 muted trumpet down low in places might work.
just some ideas i found noodling with the arrangement. i think syncopation in the song is very important. hence some of my suggested RT's to try.
wyndham hope you get a grrreat end result. apologies if some of my suggestions dont work for you. the ideas above are just a foundation to try and build on. it was lots of fun running tests . best oldmuso ps how bout trying a harp ? for variety ?
