Thx all. If only my chops were as keen as my ears ;-). I'm too far gone to believe that my playing ability will ever approach "CD quality" so am resigned to enjoying composition via tools like RB and BIAB (my inside voice plays so much better anyway!)

I'm really just hoping to use RB to better understand those subtle nuances that make a genre unique. Along the way once in awhile I actually come up with something that's listenable (at least for me). I'll pass 'em along when worthy of your time.

Kevin, the RPM Challenge sounds like something I'd do... hopefully I can make the time next month (tough with my day job).

Again, thx for listening. Now working on an old school Stomp progression, stay tuned.
