At last week's Q&A Matt discussed the benefits of really learning the chords of a tune. I've felt for some time now that I can hear and anticipate chords reasonably well, but following the Q&A, I decided to test myself. The video is the fruit of my labour this past week or so. ´On the Sunny side of the Street' using only chord tones (although I think a couple of stray non-chord tones might have found their way in). In fact sticking exclusively to chord tones was the most challenging aspect of the exercise for me. I naturally tend to connect up with more colourful notes, which sort of works most of the time. So here's one round of arpeggios followed by a round of pizzicato chords as recommended by Matt. Listening back to it, my bugbears of timing and tone need to be addressed but I definitely feel I have more command of the tune now.

Glad you like it Viktor. Nice chatting with you tonight

Hi Jan. Yes I think both these apps do the same job, although I haven't used Transcribe.

Hi Matt. You suggested a few metronome tricks (2+4, only on 4, only every 8 beats) for those of us with timing problems. As I said, I tend to race. Sometimes when I concentrate on it, I feel I can play with a relaxed and comfortable groove, but my default is to push ahead. Excruciating to listen to recordings of myself! Any more approaches to sorting this?

You have great tone and a lovely clean style Viktor.
