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.
