Hi. thanks for the demos. I honestly must say that the styles didn't impress me too much. I think they're doing great on jazz and Latin rhythms, and even some of the soul and pop styles are good, but the country styles do not capture the sound. the strumming patterns on the acoustic guitars are wrong, the pedal steel is doing licks a real steel guitarist wouldn't do. I think the capability is there, it's just that the styles I heard are stereotypical country styles done by programmers who don't really like country and think they understand enough about it to create some hokey styles.
Thanks again Andrea for providing these demos. I don't care if your not a country expert, neither is Yamaha! LOL. Besides, I was more interested in the sound of the styles than the performance anyway,. I appreciate your willingness to help.
