Q. I have a 16th note based bluegrass style (tempo 130), but I want it to be a 260 tempo one, based on 8th notes. How do I do it?


A. It's more fun to be playing, than learning <G> ... so I made a 8th note based Bluegrass style for you. This uses Bluegrass RealTracks, so you need to have those RealTracks.

Here's a video of the style in action

Here's an audio of it:

And here is the style and a demo song.... put them in your BB folder, and load in the song and play!

Here's a video showing how I made the 8th note based style (tempo 260), starting from a 16th note based style (tempo 130). Note that you can do this yourself with any style!

Peter,

Thanks for taking the time to show how this is done. You've removed the mystery for me.

I haven't played around too much with the stylemaker because there's never really been a need owing to the fact that I can usually find what I want in among the thousands of styles you've assembled.

Better go and try it out now ...
