Except for the acoustic guitar, all the tracks on here are BIAB. I did the guitar work. But, I have to tell you...each of the two acoustic guitar parts I did are actually several efforts cut and pasted....not played straight through. I wanted to be up front with you about that. I have Focal Dystonia which makes it very difficult to type and even more difficult to play guitar for any extended period of time. I took the best parts from the several cuts and pasted them together to get what sounds like a full, uninterrupted acoustic guitar lead. Don't want to try to fool you fine folks! File:Al - Smoke On The Strings.MGU Key=Em , Tempo 132, Length (m:s)=4:05 4 bar intro, 64 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 68. Repeat x2 choruses Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes, RealTracks in style: ~427:Bass, Acoustic, Bluegrass Ev 130 RealTracks in style: ~426:Banjo, Bluegrass Ev 130 (Rhythm) RealTracks in style: ~431:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Bluegrass Ev 130 RealTracks in style: ~432:Mandolin, Rhythm Bluegrass Ev 130 RealTracks in song: ~434:Fiddle, Soloist Bluegrass Ev 130 RealTracks in song: ~436:Mandolin, Soloist Bluegrass Ev 130 My guitar parts were played on an Alverez acoustic-electric played through a Peavey Nashville 112 amp. Hope you enjoy it. http://www.doubletrouble-music.com/song/23/90/c

Al, Red hot pickin. Yee haw! Nice job on the mix and editing. There are some outstanding tracks in the bluegrass RTs. You cover a lot of genres and you do it well. I look forward to hearing a lot more. Tom

Yeah, what Tommy said. You bridge a lot of genres and do it exceedingly well. Few people can pull that off so seamlessly. Bravo!
Thanks so much.

Hi Al,
no wonder, you couldn't play it in one take, as it's really fast! It's fantastic playing though. In some parts it reminds me a little of Django Reinhardt's gypsy jazz. Enjoyed it a lot.

Thanks for the listen and the very nice comments. We sure do appreciate it. And yes, BIAB has a plethora of great Bluegrass tracks. I have 4 or 5 other Bluegrass songs recorded, although Bluegrass is not a natural style for me...I have to work very hard at it. We're delighted you enjoyed it! Best to ya...

Hi Don...
So glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for letting us know!
I hope I don't sound too full of myself but I take a little pride in the fact that I can compose and play in most common genres. We write soundtracks and as such must be somewhat skilled and well-rounded in many genres.
Before I was diagnosed with the Focal Dystonia, I could play this faster stuff pretty decently but since then it's a lot of hit and miss. My fingers want to curl inward...as though I'm making a fist and they are more rigid than they used to be. But hey...I had over 40 years of following my musical dream and making a decent living at it, so no complaints. Many folks aren't that fortunate!
We've recorded in several other genres we've not yet posted. In time we'll get a lot of out there for you guys & gals to listen to. We hope you like it. best to you...

Hi Herb...
Yeah, the minor keys have a sweet but mysterious aura about them. For me, in the Bluegrass genre, I prefer to play in the minor keys. That's often true in most of the Blues styles, too. Thanks so much for the listen...

Hey SD...
Thank you for the listen and those generous comments! It does slow me down but I work around it the best I can. I'm gonna have BIAB do a lot more of the lead riffs for me for the faster stuff in the near future. Glad you enjoyed your listen! Bst to you...

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."
