So if a hypothetical "young" person are into genres BIAB has to offer, he/she (*they) will have no better option than BIAB, unless they want to simply be a Suno button presser.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
