Thanks again for all your help, I will be quiet now for a while and concentrate on lessons and try to apply what you have suggested

Many thanks for the advice, I have now spent more time on the site and am beginning to more fully understand how it works. Unfortunately there is no possibility of my playing with a band, as appears to be suggested in a number of places, but was wondering whether playing along with backing tracks might be an alternative. I have no previous experience of this therefore if it is thought worthwhile would appreciate any starting tips.

Thanks for rapid response. I have only been aware of the site for a couple of weeks and haven’t, as yet had sufficient tine to explore more than a fraction of it’s content. The groove chart concept is new to me but the more time I spend on the site I can see that it, allied with chord progressions are fundamental to your whole approach.

I am, however, still unclear as to how ‘strictly’ the groove charts should be interpreted, particularly when improvising around the melody (which is one of my specific interests). So far, in trying to stick very closely to the groove chart form I have found it a little restrictive.

I do not have any other requests than to follow your approach to determining the key, analysing the chord progression and devising the groove chart. If you could make available videos which are as easy to follow as the other lessons this would be ideal.

Thanks in anticipation.
