Musical accompaniment in a variety of styles. Guitarists favorite.

This major new upgrade to Band-in-a-Box includes a full featured digital audio track, so you can add live vocals or guitar playing to your song. There's also an intelligent style selection wizard which shows you what styles would work best in your song, highlighting all styles that have a similar tempo, genre, and feel. Guitarists will love the guitar enhancements, tablature display, and a great automatic feature that creates a pro quality guitar chord solo to any melody, displayed perfectly on the guitar fretboard. There's a new 'Big Lyrics Window', with selectable font and size, and a 'Big Piano Window' that displays a piano with large size keys and optional note names.
