Farewell Blues - Elmer Schoebel, Leon Rappolo, Paul Mares (1923)

[pdxdjazz]

I'm trying to chart the Scruggs version of Farewell Blues. It starts with a 4 bar solo banjo intro. How do I do that in iReal? Ideally, I'd like a 6 bar count-in instead of the normal 2-bars. Alternatively, a chord hit on the downbeat of each of the intro bars would work. Or, could I enter some sort of extremely simple click track for 4 bars? I don't see how to do any of those.

Thanks for any help with this.

For help with a chart, post your work in progress here so it can easily be opened in the editor.

You can have the banjo play solo only by muting the other instruments using the mixer (in real time) there's no way to make the player do that automatically.

You can select the count-in in to be just one (or two) bars. As part of an added intro, you could start with added N.C. bars for drums only. For a chord hit on the downbeat of a bar, enter your chord in the 1st space and N.C. in the 2nd.

You can set the drums to just click, but the choice is for the entire song.
