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.


The band is:

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

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.

Revisit: Eyes on Success featuring PG Music Inc., Band-in-a-Box®, and the Updated JAWS Script

In the past, Eyes on Success featured an episode that discussed our company history and Band-in-a-Box® program with Tobin, our chief development officer, including how Band-in-a-Box® is even more accessible with the help of their JAWS screen reader scripts!

Later on this month, Eyes on Success will be releasing an episode that features Gudrun Brunot talking about her new tutorials about how to use Band-in-a-Box® with JAWS.

It's a great idea to pair the two episodes together!

So, while waiting for their Gudrun Brunot episode, take 30 minutes and to listen to this episode from Eyes on Success. To download and listen to the podcast, use the link www.EyesOnSuccess.net/eos_2344_podcast.mp3

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!

Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review

Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!

"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
