Hi all

Been away for some time with life issues etc.

I've been searching in vain for styles akin to what may be attributed to the American Songbook style - in particular styles fitting Sinatra, Martin, Cole, Como et al.  I haven't found much but would appreciate all responses.

I play a Genos.

tnks and cheers

A bit of a puzzling request, the genre 'The great American song book' covers thousands of songs in a whole range of song styles. I play this kind of stuff all the time and would say if anything the built in styles on the keyboard lean towards this range of songs.
I think you need to be much more specific about what songs you are struggling with. Have you tried using the Musicfinder function built into most Yamaha arrangers?

Hello Dave,
As has just been said, it's a broad request so here is a similar answer.  I've found the Eileen Lowry styles suit the era very well and are in Eileen's style page. You will have to substitute voices sometimes as these are not generally for the Genos. Work OK on SX900.
Another Aussie,
Robert.
