Pretty harsh judgement from someone who has never even HEARD the guy.

Mac
I don't need to hear him. I've met him or one of his clones a dozen times.

I remember those miserable souls who said much the same arrogant thing about the playing of one James Marshall Hendrix.

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance.
That principle is condemnation before investigation.

I would have turned my guitar upside down and tuned anywhere he wanted to get to play on a stage with him!

Right you are, Kevin! Or at least make them bring more harmonicas in all keys...
Of course, if you tune down a half step, you might encourage a trumpet player to show up. Can't be having that.
Now that's funny I don't care where you live! Later,

Mac, As usual, you missed or ignored my point entirely and turned it into an opportunity for another cheap shot. I know how hard it is for you to pass up taking a cheap shot at me. In my first post I referenced Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn who both tuned down a half step. If you’re Stevie Ray Vaughn or Jimi Hendrix, then you can get away with asking others to put themselves out by conforming to your half step down desires.
He’s not SRV or JH. I’d tell him to tune to standard or go solo.

The music scene around here is very odd. The guys/gals that play try to be in as many situations as possible to maximise the ability to play out.I've worked my way into this circle.One of the situations is to be part of a Band with this guy. Rehearse once a week, play the occasional gig.For this situation I think it was up to him to come to a solution.And we have. My points: 1. I would tune down or play flat for a one shot gig. 2. I would play flat or tune down for a recording. 3. I would tune down for a permanent gig$$$$$$$$$$ with some one that tuned down.
Thanks for all of the input. It actually really helped.

Mac,
As usual, you missed or ignored my point entirely and turned it into an opportunity for another cheap shot. I know how hard it is for you to pass up taking a cheap shot at me.
And, as usual, you mistake a bid for tolerance of others as a "cheap shot". The fact remains that you do not know if this fellow is or is not another JH or SRV because you have never heard him. On top of that, there are plenty of examples where both of the above were still moving towards what they finally became, but were not yet there. (Those recordings of Jimi horrendously out of tune, SRV not sounding anything like the SRV we came to know, etc.) If anything, the "cheap shot" started with your ASSumption, sir. --Mac

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."
