Chapter 12: Wizards, Tutors, and Utilities

253

The Tutor part uses the MIDI Thru part to playback on.

You can control volume, panning, etc. by using the

Thru settings at the top of the main Band-in-a-Box

screen. You can select the patch in the Tutor dialog.

The tutor will display Jazz, Pop, and Folk voicings in easy, medium, and advanced forms.

The advanced forms use inversions, and changing patterns of chords, while the easy ones

just stick to the common “campfire” chords.

One of the tutors uses 3-note Jazz voicings to simulate the famous Big Band chord guitar

comping styles. If you use this, you'll only see 3 notes in the chords of course. Since it

sometimes helps to see the entire 4 chord voicing, in this case there is the option to show

the muted note as well.

Note: This applies to the Guitar Tutor. There is also the option to show this for the

Guitar Styles. This option is present in the Guitar Options Dialog.

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.Style) 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.
