Believe it or not, I'm with ya! (or let's say I'm not lost!)  Phew! BUT... Jack, you said there are no note values yet. Okay, that sort of boggles my mind. But that's okay. We forge on... May I ask though, you said the rhythm will influence the note lengths....what do you mean by rhythm there? The chord explanation is excellent. Brought me right back to the basement of Mrs. Johnson's house on Saturday mornings...but I'm gonna have to print that out like Mark suggested for point of reference...thank you for that detailed account. I guess I'll wait for your explanantion about how to use these chords, because that is where my questions lie. When I write a melody, I find the notes and note values first. But it gets complicated for me when I want to spruce it up with stuff...like chords! The one-handed melody line is actually fun for me when I get into it, it's when I go to assign the chords where it gets tricky...and this seems to be where we are here now... I'm feeling positive about all this...just hope I don't step off the cliff on the next round...! Kristi

if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be,
he must be. -- Abraham Maslow, American Psychologist

"Stop the process I call 'waiting to live.' This is the worst type of procrastination, because there will always be another 'reason to wait' lurking ahead. Once you are in this rut, it is nearly impossible to get out of it. Instead, adopt a 'Live as you Go' mentality." -Brian Austin Whitney
