It seems you've just let BiaB do all the work. The chord structure follows fine, but I am not hearing any specific melody or enhancement offered by anything other than BiaB

Don't let that be a negative, maybe it's your intention to now enhance with your own features. If so, you're heading in the right direction.

Hi Ivan,
Everything was fine but you need to add a melody line with your experiment next time so that we can give you a better assessment of what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi, Sonny
Thanks for the advice. I´ll post the melody next time.

VideoTrack,
Thanks for your reply.

The work I did in this song was to write a Biab style that plays a samba guitar.

Besides that, it´s like you´re pointing - BiaB did its work - and played the guitar using a style I wrote.

I certainly didn´t make it clear enough- this song is a test for the quality of the style I wrote and how BiaB sounds when playing the guitar chords in that style - and finally, how it sounds as a Samba style.

Regards,

Great! Like I said, you're heading in the right direction.

Hello, RnAM

I´ve just tested and it works fine for me, don´t know what is the problem. Sorry for this.
