 hi

 Figure out what u want to charge to correct my answers      bf u correct thanks

1= A  B  A/C           2=aA  B  A/C     3=A   B   A/C        4=A   B   C          5=A    A    A/f         6-13=   A   B   C

IF U HAVE TIME---

 

Your levels of achiefment Have helped my playing----my understanding of what Im playing--my analizing of songs-------In the Past I just figured The Key -------Tempo  ---- 12 bar   16 bar    8 bar----how many 12 bar---

 

 but I always looked at it from a      "play this lick " angle-----------now I dont have to memeorize as much  ie its AAA       or A   A     C  etc-----u have this lessons dialed perfectly  to tighten up even a 40 year player like my self---its truely genious-- 

 I will continue with levels till I croak----Not depressing just reality----the point is  "its working"    I once again am aware of how much I don't know--

 U never really   " get there"   in anyhing---but if  u stay  teachable, open minded  and keep workin on  " stuff  u can't do"

then suddenly down the road u realize   " I just played somthing I couldn't touch years ago.   I've been humbled many times in my life and afterwards Im grateful

 

Yr lessons are helping me immencily

Oh by the way I just looked in the mirror, "my nose is brown"----but I mean it

thanks  u have re-kindled my love of blues and blues harp

Thank you cool dude, I'm very

Thank you cool dude, I'm very glad that you're getting so much from the studies.

Are you speaking of Kim's "Lowdown" from the 1994 "That's Life" release? If so, he doesn't use any chorus forms in the first six choruses. Maybe we're listening to different releases.
