I liked your suggestions, Rick. Its a little late for me, but I think I'll try it anyway. (Never too late, right?)

I've always regretted not being able to play by ear. I "need" the chords, at least; then, if I've heard the song enough, I can "fudge" well enuf to play and sing the song reasonably well. Does that mean I fudge by ear?
