Jon,

I have searched the Internet thoroughly, but never found any. So I'm afraid there's little hope. But if you have trouble finding the right chords or notes of any RB song I'm sure you will find a helping hand on this forum. So let us know!

Jon,

Bandtrax have Talk To Your Daughter and Start It Up available.

TTYD is pretty good, let down right at the end though by a crappy crash-bang drum ending, but a quick edit will set that right. Once all the guitars are removed and replaced by a real guitar part (which goes without saying) it's pretty darn good and I do this live as often as I can.

Start It Up I'm not sure about though. The demo sounds a bit ordinary (mainly the organ part) but might be ok off the computer and running through my live rig. I might just buy it one day anyway and see how it goes - will post a review if/when I do.

Cheers - Chris

ps - try this one (free files). Found this a while ago - haven't tried many but they seem to range in quality from good to ok to bleedin' ordinary.

Has Talk to Your Daughter in the list - not quite as good as the Bandtrax one in my opinion but, hey, this one's free.

Also has Born Under A Bad Sign (Albert King version) which might turn out ok with some editing (i.e. as with most sequences, this means removing vocal track and adding real guitars!).

Also has Pity the Fool and Good Morning Little School Girl (Paul Butterfield) which also might turn out ok with some editing.

For non Robben related stuff there's heaps of SRV, BB King etc.

I honestly haven't spent a lot of time on the above list and don't use any of the sequences, but there might be some gems in there somewhere.

Chris
