Mike is playing a walking bass line with his left hand and accompanying soloists by playing chords on his right hand(comping). Last chorus he uses his right hand to improvise similar to what he does on a single-note instrument. He has set his keyboard to transpose to b flat for saxes and trumpets while he plays the easier-to-learn on piano C blues(see the computer screen showing Band-in-a-Box. The left half of the is split to play an upright bass voice while the right half is standard grand piano.

  • Hey! I'm so glad you are enjoying Band-in-a-Box. If you like, check out our official PGmusic channel for regular updates and cool tips and how-to's! Thanks

  • You are probably correct. We did not calibrate the Yamaha keyboard with BIAB. The Yamaha is slightly sharp when read by our small tuner. There are electronics and speakers to factor in the equation and even our video camera seems to record sharp. The sax players spend a lot of time tuning before they perform on stage. Good luck with your music career. Maybe you are one of the few with perfect pitch!

  • ya i have the program. great stuff.
