Hi Folks I use advanced guitar chords with muted stings, the guitar chord grids for my chords are not in BIAB can I write my own grids into BIAB? also can I enter and save the sounds of those chords,in other words can I enter and save my own guitar chords with the correct sound and grid.


Thanks to anyone who replies to my post,It's nice to be nice.

If I understand your question correctly, then I would reply that there is no setting that will make BIAB play a certain voicing for the chord you have entered in the chord sheet. That would be cool though.

If you learn how to use the style maker, and are OK with MIDI (as opposed to real tracks), you CAN create custom styles that will play whatever you have defined... but I'm not sure that's really what you want.

One thing that *IS* possible is to save each of your chords as a WAV snippet, which could then be brought into a project and used as a loop (which would automatically adapt to the tempo and key of the song)

That's my limited take on your question.. others will probably have more detailed or helpful information to add.

Thanks Pat.
BIAB is great software and is user friendly. I except that to insert special guitar voicing would be impractical and time consuming.
Let's say I want to play a number in a Django style and I want a student to play chords tricks used by Gypsy jazz guitarist.
Take the chord of CMa9 followed by Em7 by muting the C the same shape would be OK for both chords,or a C7b9 would have a the chord grid of
C# Diminished
In this style of playing you should use a lot of 3 & 4 note chords played on the lower stings of the guitar leaving out certain notes of the chord.
If you look up the chords used by Freddie Green and Gypsy jazz guitarist like Trio Rosenburg you will see my reason for wanting to add my own
chord grids.
You can do this in software like FINALE I just wondered if it could be done in BIAB.
