Picking studio musicians for BIAB is a very difficult thing to do.

I guess if you know exactly what you want to be played then perhaps that would make it a little less problematic.

I think we need a greater viarity of studio musicians. People who know how to play and not just famous. We have put to much dependence on Brent Mason for example. He is a wonderful guy but he does not do everything well.

I think there should be more "in the style of"

At the end of the day you get what you pay for and get good results by demanding what you want to hear. But before you can ask a high quality musician to do something you need to know at least in general terms what you want to hear.

If I ask someone to play in the style of Carlos Santana and it is not in the Doran mode, it is unlikely to sound like Carlos. Any pro studio musican would know that.

I don't need BIAB to generate cover tunes but I guess many people would like that.

There are way too many notes being played across the board and not nearly enough silence.

Just my 29 cents worth...lol
