Sorry David could not do the Al Di Meola Challenge. My poor old hands would be done if I had to pick like that on an acoustic. This song was done for my brother who is an avid sailor. This picture on Soundcloud is my borother putting his sailboat through the paces in a Regatta. Very scary when that thing leans over.. This song is for the Moonshadow II Moon Shadow II The Band I used the separate stems for the drum track. Thank you BIAB for making these stems available. Key=G , Tempo 88, Length (m:s)=3:05 No intro. 64 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 64. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _BLUEINK.STY (Blue Ink Slow Songwriter Strum) RealTracks in style: 1036:Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 RealTracks in style: ~1639:Piano, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkBreezy Ev16 075 RealTracks in style: 869:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ModernRnBRockWarmA-B Ev 065 RealTracks in style: 1004:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm ClassicRockStrumming Ev16 065 RealTracks in song: 2820:Harp, Rhythm ClassicalSlow8ths Ev 085 RealTracks in song: ~689:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 085 RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^5-OpS,RdS RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in Song: NashvilleRadioCoolSw16^ RealDrums in style:NashvilleBrushesEasyBluegrass: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes, Stick I normally record my songs with two amps and two mics. This song was recorded through a Helix. There were three tracks blended into a buss. A DI track (dry), a Wet track using the Helix Effects and Amps and another DI track but had the Helix Native Plugin vst which was mixed in the DAW. No mics or amps. So much easier

I find that the most beautiful part is from 0.46 and 1.30 where it is very beautiful with a great guitar sound. At this moment you are ready for the perfect song. the right notes in the right place.

Some really lovely melodic lines and tone Scott. A good band, nice job on the drums' multi tracks by the way, and a good structure. The delay gets in the way of the melody a few times.

Hi Scott
Very nicely played
Especially with a lot of feeling
Maybe the sound of the guitar could have a little more pressure.
But that is just a feeling from me
All in all very well done
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

It's always enjoyable to receive an instrumental occasionally, and this is no exception.
Nice mix, and a clear performance of the lead instruments.

Scott,
Very interesting airy track. I like how you spaced out instruments in the mix and your playing is excellent.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

You are the master melody maker, Scott. I appreciate the explanation of your recording process. It's amazing how the same recording can sound so different with mic selection and placement.

You have some interesting changes in the song. Nice job.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Scott,
I think this is better than Al Di Meola, Scott. So you won the challenge!
Very nice melody and solo, but I was not at all surprised by that. These are (a few of) your strong points.
I have one 'but'; at 2:20 it looks your guitar had less volume than before. at least that grabbed my attention.

What a beautiful song in every way, Scott. The melody, your tone (as so many others have mentioned), the melody and the BiaB tracks give us such a lovely escape from the day to day.
Very cinematic.
We wonder if your brother has this kind of song going through his head while he is “lost” in the magic of sailing.
Thanks for the backstory on the creation using the Helix, etc.
Enjoyed it!
J&B

David, Laurent4114, Ray, and Dave. Thanks so much for checking out the song. Felt good to do this song for my brother. He is in his happy place behind the wheel of his sailboat. Glad you liked the song

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
