Hi David,

would you please clarify the assignment of the Improvising Study 1 for LOA 4 test? It reads: "Take a lick from one of your study songs (or create your own) and play it to a jam track of your choosing as all five Chorus Forms (seven if you count the three ways to perform B)."

What exactly are those 5 chorus forms? Does it mean:

  1. AAA without fills
  2. AAA with fills
  3. AAB without fills
  4. AAB with fills
  5. A B/A C with or without fills, with possible variants of B

Am I right, or did you mean something dfferent?

Thank you,

Marek
