I worked on another song from Fretboard Roadmaps by Fred Sokolow; this is a standard 12 bar blues over pattern 1 & 2.

I exported drums and bass from band-in-a-box and recorded rhythm and lead myself. The rhythm is recorded on my Fender Classic Player, and is slightly different from the CD example, which wasn't very interesting. The lead is recorded on my Ibanez and just follows the tabs from the book. The main difficulty with this song is some moderately fast string skipping and pull-offs around pattern 1, but otherwise quite simple. Bruce mentioned earlier that BYCU offers a more streamlined progression; I completely agree - this example is the main example in the book showing to improvise over pattern 1 & 2, right after the colorful description of string choking.
I got carried away playing with band-in-a-box, it's really starting to grow on me. I figured out how I can use my VST plugins for my MIDI keyboard directly with band-in-a-box, so even very plain MIDI piano sound like a real piano. I will include a piano backing using that in my next example.
