Comfort Zone
Just messing around with some of my favorite BIAB tracks and styles the past few days. It's all BIAB as far as performance. I just dropped in a few chords, picked a style and clicked "generate" and this is what I ended up with. Hope my "dilly-dallying" works for some of you. It's always fun when something halfway decent comes from the mix and match of BIAB buttons and whistles I played around with. If you're wonderin', here's the mish-mash I'd stirred up with those  BIAB whistles and bells this time. Hope it's listenable. Thanks in advance to any and all listeners. *** Real Tracts - Comfort Zone *** File:Comfort Zone.SGU Key=C, Tempo 90, Length (m:s)=3:11 Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes, Style is _CHICAMP.STY (Chicago Amplitube Guitar Soul) StringsCustom Synth is PhatDoubler CompEQChFlStomp,AmCln2Amp,EQDelRack.tgs RealTracks in style: 1398:Bass, Electric, Soul70sA-B Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 912:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothPoppy Ev16 090 RealTracks in style: 1403:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Soul70sWarmHeld Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 2816:Guitar, Electric, Soloist SmoothSoulSlowBrent Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 2952:Strings, Rhythm JazzBalladPads Sw 060 Loop in Song: Pop-Soul-RnB\R n B - sweet_75_a drums ev16.wav RealDrums in Song: Soul70sPercEv16^5-a:BsyBss, b:RdBnBs

Alan,
Really nice. Good title.
Well mixed.
I like when folks do things like this - styles that I don't do - which gives another look at what BIAB does well. Makes me want to write a song in this style - just to "have a little fun"... Thanks for showing this...

Al, I noticed you said this song was "sloe" on Soundcloud. Is there any chance you had sloe gin on your mind, or in your glass when you did this? Any...remote...chance...?  Cool little piece.

Alan...one thing that your “noodling” with BIAB brought to mind...there is something in this style, a kind of smooth jazz, that just simply “works” and sounds enjoyable, interesting, etc. no matter what arrangement of (sensible) chord changes are set up..maybe it’s that melody isn’t quite so important in a lyric-less work like this. But selection of bells and whistles, in a skilled hand, generates something quite pleasant and rewarding to the ear...thanks for doing it!!

Thank you very much, Floyd. I've always been a sucker for sweet chords and chord arrangements - even when I was playing 1-4-5 country songs in the 60s. I played country because I liked it and I made a very nice living doing so. But I'd go home after playing Buck owens, Merle Haggard, Ray Price, etc. and pull out a Lou Rawls or Stevie Wonder album and try to figure out the chords. I'm completely self-taught and do not read notation appreciably. Just thousands of hours of practice. Chords and progressions come to me rather easily. In Smooth Jazz the chords that give it its unique sound include minor 11ths, major 6ths (can be replaced by a 6/9), minor 6ths with a flatted 5th and 7ths with a sharp 5th (augmented can be substituted). That's probably a lot more than you wanted to know, but thought I'd throw it in FWIW. I'm glad you enjoy this style of music when I post it. I have quite a few of them I've not posted. Many thanks for the kind words! best to you & yours. Alan

Al, I noticed you said this song was "sloe" on Soundcloud. Is there any chance you had sloe gin on your mind, or in your glass when you did this? Any...remote...chance...? Cool little piece. Hello "Eagle-Eye Snyder"! Actually, a sloe gin fizz would be pretty good right about now! yep - that's what i said. I tend to prefer the "softer" lady's drinks on those few occasions I drink hard liquor. A straight shot of C C with a Coke back works good, too! I don't drink a lot - a little here and there. I spent 50+ years on a bandstand and decided I didn't want to be "that guy" making an a$$ of himself on the dancefloor. Actually, the reason for the misspell is two-fold: I spilled a Dr Pepper on my keyboard last week and my focal dystonia is progressing very rapidly. I can barely move the thumb on my left hand. Oh well, getting old comes with its little packages of surprises! I don't fret too much over it. God's given me many, many fabulous years with music and the chance to play behind some of the bigger names of country music in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I'm satisfied with that. Glad you liked it. Di said "Hi, David!" She has a Dr's appointment in less than an hour, so gotta scoot. Best to you & yours. ALan

Thanks for reposting my tune on your Soundcloud!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg, Thanks a bunch. And yeah, those boys and girls can really create some amazing sounds. And the same goes for me - just listening to some of the boxed tracks inspire me to work with them to create something new and, hopefully, exciting. My pleasure to repost your song - it's a true gem. Wishing you and yours the very best. Alan

Hello, Alan
Well, it is just a comfort zone.
It is a very comfortable guitar solo with the comfortable chord progression.
It is very easy to listen.
Light strings are perfect for this sound.
I am very relaxed.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Wonderful work, Alan Very calming, and easy on the ears. It is super smooth, and almost buttery in it's texture. I'm almost getting a Bob James vibe on this one. One this is for certain - this is definitely more than just "listenable." Thanks for sharing!

Very mellow.
This was an enjoyable listen. Nice work on the mix. And the guitar RT has such a perfect tone for this style.

I have a dozen or so if these I've not posted as I'm not sure how much the folks on the Forum want to hear this style. Anyway, I appreciate the very kind words. Thanks again. Alan
