TrackWise, the librarian and player designed for managing your backing/jam tracks, is available for beta testing.
Jeff McErlain has kindly seeded the library with his "Blues Jams Vol. 1", many of which are associated with lessons that may be viewed online and examined in-depth in NeckWise, our fretboard visualization tool.
Renown recording and touring artist and guitar instructor Jeff McErlain has teamed up with Meatpacking Music Software to enrich the NeckWise™ fretboard visualization tool with his lesson content, and to include "Blues Jams Vol. 1" in TrackWise™, our companion backing track librarian and player.
NeckWise™, our guitar fretboard visualization tool, is now available for beta testing at neckwise.meatpackingmusic.com. Explore scales and chord changes across the full fretboard, on string sets, or in position. Create an account to save your own presets, or just set up a visual aid for your practice routine.
Sons of Sound Productions Limited operated the Sons of Sound record label from 1997 to 2018. SOSP was closed and the IP transferred to its owners, who have since launched a new entity, Meatpacking Music LLC to engage in music-related ventures, and will revive the label for special projects. The legacy catalogue will be preserved on sonsofsound.com for its documentary value, designated with a blue-97 stamp. New projects will be designated with a white-26 stamp.
We are saddened to learn of the loss of Ralph Peterson, Jr., who performed on the album Spirit Songs by Anthony Branker and Ascent, released on this label in 2005. We offer condolences to Mr. Peterson's family and his musical collaborators.
