BIAB Files

Wow this is a lot - yes all in one Zip file would be great!

Quote from lasvideo

Sorry, I dont understand your question. What are you referring to when you say "Real Book"?

Caught you lasvideo, Armin and Ingo, you never played Jazz......

- Real Book (in English)

- Real Book (in German)

I know what a real book is - even own an iPhone app called iRealBook - then renamed some time and now called Real Pro.
Its similar to BIAB - wirks great on an iPhone - but no real tracks.
There you can load a complete Jazz realbook too.

yeah there'as tons of real book stuff in my files.. I've got the entire collection, english and german in pdf as well.. everything.. it's great stuff to build your chops with or do solo gigs.. gotcha band and 30,000 songs.. what more do you need?

I enjoy just applying styles to them in BAB and real tracks and sit back and get off.. great chops busters...

There's so much to BIAB that you'll never get bored with it.. there's tons of guitar lessons as well.. I use it all the time.. find a real tracks drum groove that feels good and get it on.. add a frettless bass (check out the Jaco style.. nice) and a piano n organ... ok.. gotta go jam some!

BIAB Files

Wow, thanks for sharing this extensive library Duke!

I agree, BIAB is great for jamming along, learning new songs and also a needy to tool for songwriting. I love it, and will upgrade to Mac 2014 soon.

Thanks for that, and yes Günter, I'm caught. Although I do know what REAL BOOK means.
I intend to use BIAB to widen my horizon as well.

Not a big deal. I just was wondering, because I thought that "Real Book" is a common expression for everybody, it's something like the bible for jazz-musicians. I'm not really a jazz-player, but about 15 years ago I bought the "real" Real Book and practiced a lot of the songs just to widen my horizon, too.

DukeOURL: your files are terrific, so many BIAB-songs, thank you very much !!!!

my pleasure guys.. they were all freebies that I've collected over the years... and there's more.. I just have to dig them out LOL..

I've got a great collection of real books too.. and in German! I'll put them out there shortly and let ya'll know... I''ve got a trip to Alabama today to pick up a 59' LP Historic VOS .. FINALLY! It's got a great history.. I'll share after the deals done.. but it's a beautiful guitar.

I ordered a HD as well but also downloaded the EVERYTHING PAK files in the meantime. They have good server capabilities.

audiophile version here boys... glad to hear they're finally shipping.. looking forward to getting mine too!

Please remember that you have to pay tax (VAT) when you import hardware (unlike software downloads) from outside the EU to inside.

IMHO is the small harddisk not worth all this - after a successful download.

Quote from lasvideo

In that case Im glad I live in the USA. I like having the hard disk and the download time is prohibitive.

It wasn't that bad, took me a few hours for the EverythingPak.

audiophile comes on a terrabyte drive.. over 750Gig.. not much fun downloading..

One thing I hate is getting out my typewriter and creating a form letter asking for the software, then hoping the P.O. doesn't lose the letter.

Time to give up the Dial-ups and T1's you old men!!

Seriously, how long does it take you? I can get a download of 1 TB in about an hour. I've not timed it, I just set it up and watch a TV show.
