This is what happens when you work with chord substitutions on the standard 12-bar blues. Sometimes you have parts left over. This tune has 13 bars, what's not to like?

Twist of Blue

I'm playing the guitars. It's an ES-335 recorded direct into Studio One.
Most of the piano is from the MIDI parts of the RealTracks; some of it is me. The piano is from Arturia Analog Lab.

Smooth. Nice tones from the Gibson.

This really is top notch. You know you're in that range when everything just fits perfectly into the mix, flows effortlessly, and then you catch those subtle flourishes of the guitar and piano, without a beat missed, and realize you're in the big leagues here. I could totally see myself dropping this on the turntable, mixing a drink, dimming down the lights, and just letting this wash over the room.

Hello Ray ...

Thirteen bars? If I were a drinker, that would definitely get me drunk!!

Seriously, this is top shelf, sweet as honey playing. Wish I still had my 335 ... and my 175. Oh well, my Stromberg Monterey is treating me pretty good.

You have some serious talent and I'm enjoying everything about this. the brushes perfectly placed in the mix. Sometimes it's a very tedious adjustment to get them loud enough they aren't swallowed by the other tracks, yet forward enough to nicely contribute and support.

Exceptionally well written and presented. best to you. Be safe ...

Alan

Cool, sweet, smooth, and masterfully created.

Words like 'Nice' come immediately to mind.

Thirteen Bar Jazz.
Well, you pulled it off well.
Nice guitar playing.
The backing is, suitably, anonymous except where you threw in the matches on piano - those were lovely touches that really lifted, in those moments, the backing into an interactive part of the track.
In my head I heard those parts as guitar & vibes - weird me.


Cheers

rayc, you're actually right!. There ARE vibes (and piano) playing with the melody sometimes.
Melodyne rules for that sort of monkey business.

It’s your deft arpeggios that make it sound great, cause there’s some wicked reharmonizing going on... the guitar stays relaxed and keeps it going. Great playing...

Makes me think of David Baker’s blues reharms in his bebop books. (And his book on Blues) Whenever I try to play these weird chord progressions they always sound far out, but the way you play them, they really make sense.

Thanks. I do spend a lot of time working on being able to hear this type of harmonic material so that it flows naturally.

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."
