Hi David

I'm having trouble with the Accompanyment submission for LOA 3

i am trying to use the study song Feelin fir the blues as the track. 

I have written out some of the notes so far to 2 chorus of the song but some of the notes just don't seem right. 

I'm you can have a look over it and see where I may be going wrong. 

I have :-

1st Chorus    Hole 1    Bar 1           I Chord          1 Draw D        5th

                                 Bar 2.          V Chord.        1 Draw D.       Root

                                 Bar 3.          IV Chord.       1 Blow  C.       Root

                                 Bar 4.          As Above

                                 Bar 5.          I Chord.         2 Draw G.      Root

                                 Bar 6.           V Chord.        1 Draw D.       Root

                                 Bar 7.           I Chord          2 Draw G.       Root

                                 Bar 8            V Chord         1 Draw D         Root

2nd Chorus                 Bar 1            I Chord          3 Draw B         3rd 

                                  Or                                     3 Blow G         Root

                                  Bar 2            V Chord         4 Draw D         Root

                                  Bar 3            IV Chord        3 Blow G         5th

                                  Bar 4            As Above 

                                   Bar 5           I Chord           4 Draw D       5th

                                  Bar 6            V Chord          4 Draw D        Root

                                   Bar 7             I Chord         4 Draw D        5th

                                   Bar  8           V Chord          6 Draw  A       5th

3rd Chorus                   Bar 1.           I Chord.          6 Blow. G       Root

Sure, I'm happy to help. For

Sure, I'm happy to help. For Hole 1, Bars 5 and 7 stay on the 1 draw D... the goal is to stay on Hole 1 if you can the entire time, which you can in this case. After this chorus you're forgetting the assignment. The goal is to stay on Hole 2 for an entire chorus, and then the next chorus stay on Hole 3 three entire time, etc. If there is a chord where a note is not available without bending (we'll do bending later), then move down or up a hole. In the case of Hole 2, you'll need to do this for the V Chord.

Hi David

Thanks for looking at that for me. 

I'll have another try at sorting out the notes to play this afternoon. I did think that I had it in mind about staying on the same hole for that Chorus and then moving up the holes for the next ones, but looking at my list of what I've tried to fit in I don't seem to have managed to do that. 

I will see what I can do with it tonight. :-)
