David,
I hate to admit it but I still dont know if I am doing a 1, 4 or a 5 chord. Where can I go to get caught up to speed on this? Thank you!

Answer

Visit the "Applying what you learn" sections of each of the study songs... do them in order (start with Tongue Blocking Study 2)... after you've done all of those get back to me with any questions.

Study Songs

Each transcription of the Study Song has the chords written above that bar it corresponds to so you can practice putting those 1, 4, and 5 chords in context. That's always helped me.
