I tinkered about with music maker and was a little confused...I know...practice will make you proud...from what I have saw...Band in a Box ...starting with chords is a better approach...ok...I play at rhythm guitar...took a few blues guitar lessons ten years ago...and from 79 to 85 was a bass player in a southern rock/country band...now that I have revealed that I know enough about making music to make me clumsy....there is an objective to my approach... musical theater will be my target venue...my son works in the theater industry...and creating musicals is my final product.

I feel that creating a song ...I have played and know ...using band in a box...is a good exercise to find my footing...say a simple waltz ...Kenny Rogers....Lucille....duplicating this tune...a simple waltz could give me the feel of creation.

any feeling about this approach....and how much spending is required to get my feet wet...

any opinion will be welcomed
