Hello JCWUSMC. Studies 2 and

Hello JCWUSMC. Studies 2 and 3 teach how to play "under" the vocals. This is where you play a note of the chord (or chording) while the singer is singing. This matches because it is a note of the chord and is relatively inactive and repetitive.

In study 4 you learn how to do fills... playing a lick when the singer is not singing.

In this LOA submission I'm looking for you to do both at the same time.

Examples 2.2 through 3.1 in the lesson PDF for lesson 4 (and as played in the video) do exactly this. In example 3.2 I provide an example of chording and you fill in the rest (prep for the test).

The goal is to play something like Examples 2.2 through 3.1, but your own ideas, or a mixture of the material I've presented you. I just need one verse, no need to play an entire song's-worth.
