In the Settings for Guitar chord macros dialog choose the tracks that you want to put guitar parts on. Use the
Piano and Strings to layer multiple guitar parts.
In the dropdown “Guitar Chord Types to Use” combo box, set the type of chords to use: Jazz, Pop, Folk, Half Note
(sax), Ukulele, Mandolin, 5-string Banjo.
Set the complexity of the chords to use. These can be single chords, chords with variations, inversions, and chord
“walking” patterns. If you want a simple guitar style, set the first one to 100%, and the rest to 0%.
Set the strum speed and fret range that should be played on the guitar.
The Guitar styles have an option to keep the same chord for the whole
pattern when using databases that have changing chords within the pattern. If set, databases that have changing
chords like the “Half Note (sax)” chords will only use the first chord in the pattern.
Exit the dialog and record a guitar pattern using Guitar Macro notes.
When the recording of the pattern finishes, set “OK to use Macros” and
“Guitar Macros” to Yes.
Save the style, using the convention of putting an exclamation (!) somewhere in the name to indicate that it is an
intelligent guitar style.
