Fred, Yes, I'm tinkering and little by little, getting somewhere... its frustratingly slow, but thats what makes it worth it, right? I'm still working on that particular tune and trying to find solo licks in the G,C,G,Em,C,G,Em,C,D,G pattern. Its in there somewhere, I just have to find it. I'm trying to go back to the G maj scale that you gave me and working it from there, but I'm having a little trouble with it.... getting there, though - I think. Fred, you don't sound at all condescending, quite the contrary. While much of what you're telling me is well over my head, I get bits and pieces that are all helpful - you obviously know what you're talking about and I appreciate the help - greatly! Thank you very much Lane
