I often hear the chord progression of a famous jazz song in PG Music song demos, and the basic genre and feel of the two are the same or similar. All the PG Music demo songs, by the way, are copywritten, however they were created. BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

The jazz guitar app songs are all very identifiable as Jazz Standards with made up names and then a jazz guitar solo over the chords. There is a list actually floating around of all the songs and the "real" song the progression came from. My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
