... well, I was yesterday and came up with this little diddy...

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11588626

Used the CITY2 style. Comes with RD. Left bass & guitar in MIDI. Added Melodist: 1317 medley (Chorus).... really shines at the end, I think. Lead guitar are my arthritic fingers.

Just sharing, in case you want to get into a funk as well

Cheers,
Mike

Appreciate it, Tim .... takes about an hour to get those fingers going. Get through the piece, then rest and back to the pain...

Got to love getting older LOL!

Thanks, Tim!

I can sort of relate.

Getting arthritis in the thumb of my left hand.
Can only play the guitar these days for a short while and have to stop.
Luckily doesn't effect my keyboard playing yet though.

Yeah - keyboard is still okay with me as well... Guitar is becoming more and more difficult, though. Got to seize the moment while you still can, I guess.

Mike,

Hey, this is really nice. I like the energy. Ever since I heard Stevie Wonder's Superstition (way back in the day) I have been hooked on this kind of beat. I agree with Tim, not too shabby for arthritic fingers!

Thanks for sharing this one!

Hi Mike,

I've got to say that this is a incredibly vibrant, energetic piece. Heaps of energy! It kept my interest all the way through. Very skillful playing, arranging and mixing. I'm amazed that this was done in a day!

Kudos to you!

Nice playing Mike arthritis and all. When I look at how productive you guys are I think I must have brain arthritis.

Nice work Mike. You sure know your way around that guitar! I liked the 'forward' energy in this.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
