hi mark,im sure youll have a lot fun exploring the 2014 BIAB...let us know of your experiences...merry xmas

Oliver Gannon is a great guitarist.
These GP solos, although written in Midi form are excellent work. If practiced well can give someone all the knowledge needed to solo over any progression in jazz. Regarding I also copy most of its comping material from BiaB real tracks when I study standards I consider Oliver to be the best teacher I can have. .
There is also 101 Jazz Guitar Phrases , Essential Jazz Guitar vol 1-2 (for comping) and of course Masterclass vol 1-2.
In my humble opinion apart from an outstanding performer Oliver is a great instructor.
Merry Christmas to all!Last edited by nikoslikos; 12-18-2014 at 03:29 AM.

I believe a dedicated study of the tracks put together by Oliver may possibly help me move to a new level of jazz performance, a truly amazing thought for someone of my age!

what I'm lacking is dedication.

Does any one have the original Olive Gannon solos midi, I've seem to lost my CD, the first one was the best it was real standards like blue in Green, Someone to watch over me, etc .... I think there were 50 of them
They took it off market because of they were too cheap to pay copy rights
thanks
Gary

You are right the master jazz solos were made by Oliver Gannon to show the different styles of many great smooth jazz guitarist. PG music will not make a batch of realtracks to specifically fit as they are to old and midi file based. You can use real tracks if you open it up in BIAB but it is not perfect and does not fit the pieces perfectly. I use a tone generator called SD-2 from Ketron and the sound is really great ( you also can use real sample now with new versions of BIAB). I practice with a partner and alternate soloing and rhythm and we keep only the piano ( at low volume) bass and drum ( that can be substituted with real drum when you open the master jazz solos in BIAB). To the ear of the average listening bear there is no complaints. We have fun and the listeners are appreciative. I guess if you are good enough to play all the greats you would not need BIAB master jazz solos but for for me, until I am there, master jazz solos will be my go to solos practice base augmented by some Gypsy jazz pieces from the immortal Django.

absolutely .. theyre good enough for performance...of course the tempos are crazy...i slow them down to suit my pace...what a mix...jim hall ..django,raney etc etc .. it opened up the guitar for me..
