Styles Set #30: World Fretboards

Styles for Band-in-a-Box
Introduction and Overview
Thank you for purchasing Styles Set #30 with over 20 great new World Fretboards styles for Band-in-a-Box.

Note: As these styles use some of the newer Stylemaker features, you must have Band-in-a-Box Version 12.0 (or
higher) for some of these styles to work properly.

PG Music answers your wishes with Styles Set 30 World Fretboards. This Styles Set covers a wide variety
of genres with over 20 styles including: New Age, Hawaiian, Pop, Jazz-Pop, and Ethnic. Many of these styles utilize Band-
in-a-Box version 12s new intelligent chord fretboard display. Youll now see the correct chord voicings or fretboard
display for ukulele, banjo, mandolin and bass.

Included are Bo_D, Creednce, HawaiSlo, DixiDukes, JohnBal, New Age Slow , Country historic, Ukulele
Fast, JohnnyH, Guitar-4-to the bar, Pop NeilD, Pop_Sade, and 80s Rock Trio. Most of these styles have been suggested in
our Styles wishlist forum and many of them feature the intelligent chord fretboard display for banjo, mandolin and ukulele.

As always, we thank you for your many excellent suggestions as posted in the Styles wishlist forum. If youre
interested in editing or tweaking Styles or even making them from scratch, be sure to check out the Secrets of the
Stylemaker Audio-Visual CD.

One of the easiest ways to explore the new styles is from the select style window (press the STY button). If
you scroll to near the end of the categories list on the left, you can select the World Fretboards 30 category, then highlight
the individual styles and press the Load song demo button. It is a good idea to un-check the Auto-change Melody
instrument so that youll hear the correct demo melody instrument. You can also sort the styles by Styles Disk number if
you like. More detailed information about each style is available by pressing the Memo button of the Demo tune. The
Demo tunes for these styles follow the same naming convention as the styles themselves. For example, the DEMO song
for 12ST&BAN.STY is 12ST&BAN.MGU.

We encourage you to visit the PG Music home page on the Web at www.pgmusic.com. There are lots of
interesting downloads, demos, magazine and customer reviews, including streaming audio-visual program tutorials,
radio interviews and more. Review your favorite products or stop by the Styles wish-list page, where you can request
