Diane, Your gift of capturing the heart of the moments we shared and writing them down is wonderful. I'll submit a full recap once I catch up on my sleep and dig out from the mound of audio gear, snacks, and guitars in my garage. I was telling Paulette yesterday that I regretted not being able to spend a bit more time with you hanging out and catching up. We'll make it up next year. Honored that you are part of our guitar family. The thought of a Delaware trip has crossed our minds more than once! - Steve

Thanks Diane! Even when I forget you're right there to help. Thanks, Steve

Triple-O, The main idea is that you land on the right chord tone when the chord changes. And you can walk up or down to that note from the previous tone however it works out step-wise. Sometimes you can add a chromatic note here and there to get the number of notes to work out right. But you can also just double a note if you need to. Hope this helps. - Steve
