Hi Tom,

Thank you very much! Your input is not wasted on me. I always think about what you say in your comments.

I have a tendency to place my backing tracks a little more forward in the mix than many folks do. I notice you sometimes do the same. The analogy I use is I'd like my supporting cast to get their deserved recognition almost as the star of the show - it wouldn't be the same without them.

As far as my music knowledge, it's all self-learned from asking questions and watching other guitar player. I think I have a God-given ability to parse the relationships of chords - I neither read nor write notation. Unless it's a really weird chord, I can mentally determine what it sounds like without benefit of actually hearing it played. That makes putting a pattern together much easier and quicker. Hope that made a little bit of sense!

Again, many thanks.

Stay well,

Alan
