Hi David,

  Regarding LOA 4, Improv. , Section 6, Homework assignment # 1:

The breakdown is this:

1) AAA - Is this just ONE verse of  a 4 measure lick played 3 times ?

                                               OR

  is this this like Section 2 AAA Chorus Form Homework : - A 4 measure lick played 3 times for 1 verse

                                                               and   then  A 2 measure lick played 6 times for 1 verse

                                                               and   then  A 1 Measure Lick played 12 times for 1 verse  ?

2) AAA with Fills:  For this you want this just 1 verse, correct ?

3) AAB :  For this you want this just 1 verse, correct ?

4) AAB with Fills:  For this you want this just 1 verse, correct ?

5 AB/AC:  Do you want this playes as (3) three verses , such as B (IV Chord = ) ...

                        One verse with a   1) Big Contrast

        and then... One Verse with a  2) Small Contrast

       and then .. One Verse with a    3) Sequence     ?

 

Basically Just trying to figure out if this is a 5 (Five )  verse song or a 9 (nine) verse song ?

Thank you for your time

 Steven Barta
