Hey Shaiye, thanks for letting me know what would help you. Will probably make more lessons with diagrams pretty soon. Any songs you want to learn in particular? You might want to try out learning some music by ear, good to start early with that.
Hi Neal, just been trying this via ear and I can’t believe it – but when I fairly sure I checked the music score in one of my books and I was right – Keep up the good work
Thanks Des, ear training just takes some practice and you often may be better than you thought you were if you have been playing music for a little while!
Hi Neal
I can’t open the pieces you have recently sent me. The last one is by Duke Ellington:It Don’t Mean a Thing. I would really like to listen to all the pieces you send. Is there a plan you devise ?

Awesome, glad you got it. Now you have it in your pocket you can pull it out whenever you want (if you can play it in the key and feel)

It’s probably an issue with your computer. Maybe clear the browser cache and make sure you have the latest flash player installed. Thanks
