Roy, yeah, I'm pretty fast at charts smile

Yes, it would sound similar, especially if I put in metronome markings and indicated what kind of groove it was. I'll try to do your other song later this evening, please post a link to it so folks can easily read along.

Kevin. I made a mistake that I saw after taking the chart out of the scanner. It is in Bb, not Db. I wrote it wrong. But the numbers are dead on. I wrote it in a fast 4/4, you could call it 2/4. I write a measure for every time the bass, in a two beat bass groove, plays two beats. That five over a seven is just that: it is a five chord with a seven in the bass. If you're in Bb, the five is an F major with an A in the bass. The bass walks up from Gminor (6-) to A under an F major, to Bbmaj. Notice the bass plays 6 7 1. La Ti Do.

The session today was a Christmas album for a singer/songwriter from North Dakota. We recorded his regular album yesterday. 22 songs total in two days. He does pretty well, he sold 1,600 cds in the last seven months. He sells them at fairs, conventions, dances, rodeos etc. We read charts like these, it takes about a half hour a song to get the basic tracks.

All the Best,
Mike

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
