string picking will blow you away! And if that is not enough, Band-in-a-Box's RealCharts allow you to watch how
these solos are played in notation, TAB, or on the on-screen guitar fretboard.
RealTracks Set 119: TexMex 2-Beat
This set includes Electric Bass, Accordion, Electric Guitar, and a brand new TexMex RealDrums style that makes
you want to get on your feet and dance! These styles work great as a full band, or individually to compliment any of
your older RealTracks. To liven up your songs, the Electric guitar switches from playing chord shots on the off beats
during the A substyle, to lovely little walking melodies in the B substyle.
RealTracks Set 120: TexMex Country
Set 120 – TexMex Country - includes Electric Bass, Accordion, Electric Guitar, and a brand new TexMex Country
RealDrums style. Each style plays an up-tempo even 8ths rhythm at 120 bpm, with a slight Latin flavor. Even
though the instruments were recorded at this tempo, the superior stretching features in Band-in-a-Box allow these
styles to all be used over a very wide tempo range. The Bass and Electric Guitar styles have the bonus of RealCharts
so you can see what the musician is playing, either in notation, TAB, or on the on-screen guitar fretboard. These
styles are wonderful together as a band, but each style also has great potential to combine with other RealTracks as
well.
RealTracks Set 121: More Country Banjo, Fiddle & Steel
This set offers a variety of rhythms and tempos all played by your favorite stringed instruments: Banjo, Fiddle,
Pedal Steel, and Resonator Guitar. These styles are useful for various tunes because they range in tempo and rhythm.
The Banjo is an even beat at 100, Fiddle is a swing beat at 165, and the Pedal Steel and Resonator Guitars are both
waltz swing beats at 140. And to increase this assortment of rhythms are Band-in-a-Box's half-time, double-time,
triple-time, and newly enhanced tempo stretching features. The Fiddle, Pedal Steel and Resonator Guitar also have
the added benefit of displaying “RealCharts,” which means that even though these are audio recordings of real
musicians, you can see what’s being played in notation and on the on-screen piano keyboard.
