The Auto-Switch position setting allows the program to automatically switch the display
of the guitar when a new track is loaded in. This auto-chooses the best position to display
the track.
The [Set to Defaults] button sets the Guitar window to factory defaults.
Guitar Tutor
Use the Guitar Tutor to analyze any song. This feature will show the chords that are
playing on the virtual guitar fretboard, in your choice of a Jazz, Pop, or Folk perspective.
The Guitar Tutor is a fun way to learn about new guitar chords while playing along with
your favorite Band-in-a-Box tune.
The Guitar Tutor is most useful on styles that aren't guitar styles. This would apply to
styles that don't have an exclamation point (!) in the file name. This is because the guitar
styles already have a guitar part that you can learn from, on the Guitar part.
Using the Guitar Tutor, you can see (and optionally hear) guitar chords played on the
guitar fretboard. This teaches you how to play the chords on guitar.
To turn the Guitar Tutor on,
launch the Guitar window and
press the [Tutor] button.
Enable the Chord Tutor display by setting that checkbox. This will silently display the
chords on the guitar fretboard. If you would also like to hear the notes, select the “Play
chords through MIDI” checkbox.
