Chapter 12: Tutors and Wizards 200
The Guitar Tutor stays enabled until you change the Guitar track to another
track (for example, to change it to the Bass track). You can easily re-enable it
by clicking on the [Tutor] button again.
Using the Guitar Tutor
By enabling the Tutor, you'll see (and optionally hear) guitar chords played on
the guitar along to any song.
Load in a Jazz song and start it playing (e.g. Old Folks.MGU). You'll notice
that the associated style (GARNER.STY) doesn't have any guitar chording in it
…yet! Let's use the Guitar Tutor to show us what guitar chords to play during
this song:
To turn the Guitar Tutor on, launch
the Guitar window and press the [Tutor]
button.
Set “Enable Chord Tutor Display” and “Play Chords through MIDI.” Select the
“Walking Jazz – 4 note chords” tutor type, and press [OK].
You'll now hear and see guitar chords (and patterns of chords) played in a Jazz
style along to the song. In the example above, the chord is an Eb7 chord and the
tutor is showing a common Jazz voicing for an Eb7 chord.
Turn the tutor off by disabling the “Enable Chord Tutor Display” setting.
