Hi David,

I hope all is well!

I am working away at level 5 and almost ready to submit. However, I have a question regarding the accompaniment study 5.

As I am playing each hole to a jam track, the jam track should be 10 choruses long. How can I extend an existing track from 7 or 8, to 10 choruses? I am not familiar enough with software like garage band to modify an existing track. 

Do you have a suggestion on how to overcome that hurdle and what is exceptable for a submission?

 

Thank you for your feedback and have a great day.

Greetings from Canada/Germany

Frank

Hello Frank. Just play to the jam track until you run our of choruses and then restart the jam track, continuing on with your hole changes (or send two recording if that's more convenient).
