OP harryt8 Enthusiast Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 56 Bendigo VIC Australia	I'm trying to find a suitable style for Texas/Western Swing Guitar. Four beats to the bar backing a la Joey McKenzie. https://youtu.be/sKAW559kRnA https://youtu.be/Me-PUuXoUSA Secondly, I'm trying to find a simple backing guitar style for Ragtime tunes such as Beaumont Rag, Black & White, Cottonpatch etc etc. Someone suggested Westrag.sty, but I can't find that in my StylePicker list. I have BIAB 2021 UltraPAK. Your advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Also perhaps look for JOPLIN and JOPLINORK (both MIDI) BIAB & RB2025 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

Here is what I see when I look at the DEMO song memo: Obviously the style won't play correctly if you do not have all the RT's needed to pay it. I would think the question is what RT package does need to be able to utilize those RT's contained in the style _WESTRAG.STY As I see it here are the RT packages that contains those RT's he needs to play the style: Bass - RT Package 26 Fiddle - RT Set 136 Guitar - RT Set 299 Mandolin - RT Set 36 Set 299 is for 2962:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm RagtimeBluesColin Sw 190 only. He needs the 4 RT sets listed above and the RealDrum package. There are 29 of those. In closing, he mentioned that he does have the Ultra Pak so he should have everything. I would think all he needs to do is to load the style and all the RT's will follow. **** Song Summary *********** Title: _WESTRAG Demo - Western Country Rag Swing File:_WESTRAG Demo - Western Country Rag Swing.SGU Key=D , Tempo 190, Length (m:s)=2:06 No intro. 32 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 32.

OP harryt8 Enthusiast Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 56 Bendigo VIC Australia	Thank you once again gentlemen. I've probably found a good style for Texas/Western back up. Real Tracks Set 136. The fiddle track is particularly good. For Ragtime Backing against my fiddle(Beaumont, CottonPatch, Black & White, Pig Ankle etc), I'm still not quite sure yet if _WESTRAG is the one. Cheers.

You can e-mail those requests with youtube links as examples of what sorts of styles you'd like to see genre/timesig/feel/etc wise and submit them to sales@pgmusic.com and we can pass those along to the developers no problem! This helps them know what people are specifically looking for so that we can create original styles with these aspects in mind that meet the desires of the user base. Cheers, Ember
