Roger Buchanan commented on Hank Ruf's blog post MUSIC 24/7

"Thanks Hank, but I do go to all the jams here in Columbus, Oh, but no one seems to be able to tell me much of anything. It's like "well I don't know how to explain it". Guess I'll keep playing tabs."

The rest is just dressing for the melody line,...Loose the melody line in the song,...and then it's just jamming,..or jazz,....or whatever you want to call it.... It's my opinion,...but it did work for me.....

When you start to apply these to the songs that you learn and your tabs,...you will "SEE" the chords and scales right there in front of you....Might be boring at first,...but it all relates. Best tip I can give you...learn piano or get a good piano chord book....it will show you how these chords relate....know any good piano players....??

My accordian teacher made me learn every kind of scale there was, diatonic, chromatic, butyoucan'tplaythatwith tenfingers scales. The page was black with ink...but it worked,...I couldn't play some of that stuff,...but I did get to 90%,...I only needed 45% to make my living from music and be a real HOT accordian player...SAME APPLIES FOR THE STEEL,...
