Tip: For added effect, add a guitar chord solo to the Soloist part using the Chord
Solo button on the Guitar and choosing Solo as the destination. Or simply choose a
Guitar Harmony like 32 J Pass.
Custom Solo Generation
You can redo any part of the solo that you don't like with the ability to generate
and regenerate parts of the solo. There is a [Custom…] button on the Select
Soloist dialog. This launches a custom solo dialog to allow you to set the range
that you'd like for the solo:
Tip: You can have these values preset to the values you'd like by first selecting the range
of bars that you'd like from the Chordsheet screen, and then clicking on the Soloist button.
Usually soloists end a little after a bar end –i.e. they play a couple of extra notes.
Setting the “OK to solo for an extra beat” will allow this.
If you want to overdub a solo and have multiple solo tracks going at once, de-
select “Overwrite existing solo in range.”
Once you press the [Generate Solo Now] button, the portion of the solo that
you have selected will be generated. The song will then start playing two bars
before the new part, so you can quickly hear the new solo.
Remember that the custom solo generation can be used with different soloists,
so you can use a “Tenor Sax Jazz” soloist for a few bars, and then insert a
custom “Bluegrass Banjo” soloist for four bars and so on.
