Pro These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined
with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the
chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmo-
nies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
Session These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by
mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with
chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed
to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain
songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may
not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically correct—for all
songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a
simple major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh
chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unex-
pected accompaniment.
