Thank you RayC and RnAM!

Yikes, that's what I get for posting after midnight... There are parts in here that I really like, but this is a tough 5:18 listen even for me! A few more words about why I found it an interesting experiment:

This is a way to get BIAB to play a solo for a non-rhythmic performance.

Bear in mind, there is a "song" that exists only in a BIAB file, with a tight little band rocking this thing out in 4/4! The guitar was playing along with the chords implied by the piano and discerned by BIAB, but in the flat "C" meter imposed by BIAB. By dropping the backing band, I removed the time signature from the solo, and could reattach it to the original piano piece.

Ray, I do like that quote. William James-y, stream of consciousness. Regarding Zappa, his guitar playing could be great (“Watermelon in Easter Hay”!) but it often didn’t reflect the kind of musical genius he could express on paper, and sometimes, especially in concert, amounted to just recreational noodling, playing with the fingers. (I believe this was John McLaughlin’s snappy comeback when Zappa said his own playing was nothing but flashy speed tricks.)

PS – The Logic audio patch I used on the guitar is called “Yacht Rock”, so I was tempted to call this “Verklarte Yacht”.
