Fred, Yes, I'm familiar with tab and have been hoping to find some leads like I'm looking for tabbed out... no good so far. I don't really follow what you're saying about working up the neck... the piece in particular I'm working on is, in fact, in G and I can find some melody stuff with in the G, Em, C and D chords that that piece uses... but finding stuff that works up the neck is still elusive. Can you explain a little more? Lane
