Upon reflecting on this, for my level of music knowledge I'm probably biting off way more than I can swallow. Per "the book" I should be learning my scales, arpeggios, keyboard fingering, music reading, chord construction and all the other basics. But I've got to have fun to keep my interest, so I jump in head first, make something, see if it sounds relatively good to my ears and fix as I can. I guess I'm realizing that I'm at the point where I need to seek an appropriate book(s) on the subject(s) or take lessons. This and the tools that others use is what I'm now exploring to map a path.

As for your other comments, thanks. I'm sure entire books could be written on each point you made.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
