How do I put a chord on the second half of beat 4 without pushing it from the following bar? The riff I am recreating is the opening to the Shadows tune "The Rise and Fall of Flingal Bunt". Where you have the chords C,C (pair of 1/8notes)followed by two 1/4 note rests, then F, Eb as a pair of 1/8 notes on beat four. The next begins a chord on beat one and the "and " of one. Can anyone help. Regards Graeme

Hi Graeme,

Welcome to the forums.

I've just created a 'Tips and Tricks' article about this. It can be found at...

Hi Noel, thanks for that it makes perfect sense, I will give it a go. "There is more than one way to skin a cat". It seems a long way around to do something so simple. Kind Regards Graeme
