A member of +++ TheGuitarBand.com's +++ Facebook group has extended an invitation to share Band-in-a-Box backing tracks.

If you have backing tracks made by you in any format (sgu, audio or video…) you can share them. As an example, +++ here is +++ a video created by Hans featuring a song by George Harrison, “My Sweet Lord.” The entire backing track was crafted using Biab 2023 and the collaborative efforts of TheRossie58.

When you take your time, you can make some pretty authentic, faithful to the original, covers.

Hans' backing track is absolutely amazing and proves Herb's point:

How does one find anything shared on Facebook? Even knowing something is there is no guarantee that one will find it.

I hate to be the one who quotes Forum Rules but best you correct it before an Admin does.

Mike,

Please reread my post. The links I provided are to a Facebook forum post and YouTube video. I don't believe backing tracks (there are no melodies) infringe on copyrights.

I can write a very long post explaining why that is not correct. The short version is that arrangements of copyrighted songs belong to the rights holders, not the person who created them—even if no melodies are present unless there's a written arrangement with the publisher granting such rights. Even then, Rule 9 would apply.
