Find That Style

The Complete Practical Guide to Finding, Adapting and Creating the Perfect Accompaniment for Your Songs

Do you have hundreds—or even thousands—of styles on your arranger keyboard, but still struggle to find the right one for a song?

You scroll through Pop, Ballad, Country, Dance and Latin categories. You audition style after style. Some are too busy. Some have the wrong bass. Some feel close, but not quite right.

Find That Style gives you a practical, repeatable method for choosing, adapting and creating accompaniments that actually work for your songs.

Instead of searching only for a style with the same name as the song’s genre, you’ll learn to listen for what really matters: rhythmic feel, drum pattern, bass movement, accompaniment density and overall energy.

Then you’ll learn how to make an unexpected style work—by adjusting the tempo, removing clutter, exploring variations and reshaping the accompaniment to suit your arrangement.
