Chapter 8: Automatic Music Features 123
You'll now see a message box confirming that a chord solo has been added.
Playing the Guitar Chord Solo
The playback will begin automatically, and you'll see the guitar voicings on the
guitar neck. For example, at Bar 8, the chord is a C#dim and Band-in-a-Box has
voiced a Bb melody note with a 4-note guitar voicing of Bb, E, C#, and G.
This particular solo will be played in a single position, because those are the
parameters of this particular guitarist. Other Guitarists will play in a range of
positions (e.g. Guitarist #1), or in open position (e.g. Guitarist # 8).
As you listen to the solo, you'll notice the following:
1. Some of the notes are left as melody, and some are assigned to chords.
2. Wide varieties of guitar chords are used, including some advanced chords.
All of them are popular chords played by real guitarists – there are no
theoretical chords.
