I know someone who has a hotel with bar in Mallorca, Spain, by the name "El Coto". One year I went there for a vacation, but before I left home, I renamed one of my guitar pieces to "El Coto" as a gift for her. She played it every night in the bar and it became quite a local hit. The tune is a combination of Spanish influenced and electric Rock guitar. I play both (but not at the same time smile



I began in 1970 with a 7 piece dance band. I had other bands, but my most successful one was "The four Windows", a 4 piece guitar band. Many concerts, TV shows, Record contract with EMI and a guitar hit in 1982 in Europe with my "Lonely Seagull".

Hi Wolf, welcome to the forum. I loved it, sure have the Spanish vibe. What part of the BIB you used on this one?

Cheers

Mike B.

Wolf, sounds like a Fistful of Guitars! Cool, cinematic style. Can understand this being a hit. I'd be interested in the BiaB content, too.

I'm almost new here and not sure what BiaB means exactly, but I assume it has to do with Band in a Box. Which I have used since 1992. This is how I work with BB: I always use at least Bass and Drums for my demos and recordings, but other instruments as well, and if I find something in the Styles, I also use that (example "CharJas" with the classical intro. Then I export each instrument individually to my home studio and modify, edit, master the tracks. Then I add vocals, guitars, keyboard, and for this tune even "Castanets". I created "El Coto" years ago when I still had the old Band in a Box.

Please let me know what BiaB is, if this doesn't cover it. I like to do things the right way.

Wolf, BiaB is an acronym for Band-in-a-Box.

Outstanding chops
Super guitar tones also
Super mix
Great groove
Sounds great!

Thanks four your kind response. I've been using BB since the early 1990's and also recorded this tune several years ago. I can't remember what exactly I used, its too long ago, but definitely bass and drums. I use what ever I can use, then export it to my studio and work on it.
