... especially for jigs. I would love to replace the arpeggiating banjo with a strumming acoustic guitar in Bluegrass style too. Are these things impossible? Requestable? Any tips apreciated.

You can change the instruments in the Mixer. Tap on a song, then the second button from the right in the Playback Control.
Whatever instrument you choose still runs through the generic banjo runs which doesn't work well with 6\8 jig time imo. It's annoying too. I would much rather play over a simple "doom-jang doom-jang" guitar strum than the banjo, and I think it would possibly translate into jig time better too.Quote:

Have you tried adjusting (or muting) parts of the accompaniment in the player mixer?
Button to the right of the "play" button.

Yes. I can only change the bass. The other two I can only change the volume. Muting the banjo eliminates the chord flavor aspect of the tune. It's a super useful app with lots of room for improvement, but why worry about it when my money is all already spent, right?
I am new to ideal pro but also interested in Celtic guitar styles
I am also new to real pro but I am definitely interested in Celtic guitar styles. Hopefully there will there will be some added.
Please count me in as a requester for a jig style with strummed guitar as well.
+1 absolutely. I'm trying a work around w/ 12/8 rock up to tempo, but I'd rather have a dedicated rhythm style to work from.
howdy folks - I found a workaround for the 'jig feel' we're all missing:
Set 'style' to Pop - Bluegrass
Meter to ⅜
Tempo over 200 or so..
Then just apply repeats to every bar, for a 6/8 jig feel (use x4 in the text field for a double jig bar). This will also allow you to keep the same song structure when iRealb eventually supports the 'jig' style. You'll only have to remove the repeats on each bar. It's a bit messy, but you'll be able to hear the right feel.
First and second endings may make this workaround a bit dragged out, but for simple repeated A/B sections, I use D.C. al Fine to repeat the A section, but for the B section I just copy it twice, as using D.S. after D.C. doesn't seem to work.
Here is The Sligo Maid as an example. Let me know if I missed anything - works for me!
Fortunately, slip jigs are entirely functional from the get-go: 9/8 with the bluegrass style sounds fine.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
If you select "Duplicate" when editing a tune to accommodate this workaround, the original chart will be retained.
Just edit the title of the duplicate to reflect the change "jig" or some such.
The original "clean" chart may be easier for some to read (if needed) when performing.
If you (or someone) puts a playlist together with charts edited for jig-practice, please post it.
Thanks

here is a plain jig: The Connaughtman's Rambles
here are some templates, with a few half-bars remaining from the tunes I took these from:
Jig template
Double Jig template
Will do! Agreed, these may not be practical for reading on a gig but otherwise useful.Quote:

Big props to nwct for the workaround. Just in time for st Patrick's day!
Me too. Love to see more Celtic tunes for flat picking and mandolin use.

Nice work-around. If you mute the mandolin chops, select nylon guitar and put the bass fairly low it gives a decent backing to work off. Selecting embellished chords makes it fairly harp-like.

Hi,
I'm a new member on this forum and a new user of iReal Pro. Here is my first chords chart for "The Orphan", an Irish traditionnal double jig. Let me know what you think about it.
Cheers
