Master Jazz Guitar Solos
This program is a stand-alone program that is an interactive learning aid, designed to help you learn to solo like a professional jazz guitarist. Musicians studying improvisation typically learn by copying other soloists' performances. Since guitar is a "visual instrument," it is easier to learn to play by watching the fretboard than by reading the music from a staff. The on-screen guitar fretboard shows you exactly which notes and chords are being played on the guitar. There are guide notes for typical positions for the key, and note names, to help you learn the fret/string positions.
The purpose of this program is to help you to learn the art of jazz improvisation. The student who wants to lean to improvise jazz music is usually told to listen to some jazz solos, and learn from them.

All the right hand solos in this program were played by Miles Black, accompanied by Band-in-a-Box® on the left hand piano. You can use the Band-in-a-Box® program to generate your own blues tunes, while you play the solos! All tunes are done in standard MIDI and Band-in-a-Box® MGU formats with either solo piano or a complete band arrangement (drums, bass, guitar and piano soloing).

Duets for Band-in-a-Box®
Have you ever noticed how much easier and fun it is practicing along with another musician? Whether you're working on your sight-reading, or learning a new piece of music, you can often make a lot more progress when someone else is practicing with you.
Duets for Band-in-a-Box® will provide any user with a more inspiring way to practice! This is an exciting series of 50 Duets, each designed specifically by Miles Black for sight-reading practice. Both parts have an independent contrapuntal melody, so you feel like you have a real playing partner at your side. Each of the 5 genres, Classical, Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Bebop and Rock, includes 10 great contrapuntal melodies. With one melody line recorded on the Melody track and the second on the Soloist track, it's easy to see and hear what each part is playing. Mute one melody and play along with the other, then reverse the roles and sight-read the other part. Don't forget to set the "Scroll-ahead" to the desired setting so you will have an automatic page turner. Also included is a folder with the 50 Duets transposed into all 12 keys. This is a fantastic way to improve your sight-reading!
CopyMe
CopyMe is an exciting teaching concept for Band-in-a-Box®. Here's how it works: your piano teacher, Miles Black, plays a 2-bar piano phrase along with a Band-in-a-Box® accompaniment. That 2-bar piano phrase is then followed by 2 bars of the same Band-in-a-Box® accompaniment with the piano part silent. This is where you come in... just copy what Miles has played. Once the lesson is complete, Miles explains and plays the next concept, followed again by your turn to play.
With the synchronized audio track you will hear Miles explain and encourage you as each lesson progresses. The notation will be prominently displayed, the lessons can be looped, the tempo can be adjusted to suit your ability, you can even change the key signature to learn each lesson in all 12 keys! What could be better than having your own "on-call" music teacher to explain and demonstrate the lessons.
