Yes! If you can make a habit of jamming with a jamtrack (maybe the next live video?) You will commit this ideas to memory for quickly.

I agree with Robie. I think I'm missing something that explains which chords fit with tunes in which key (and why). It's back to the Dummies guide to Musical Thoery book!

The first step is to identify the chords in the key, than the second is too look at which notes are in those chords, than third is to start to match your melody to those chord tones, knowing that the last note of your phrase is the most important. I think we will do it with the intro riff to Redemption Song for out next 10 dollar Patreon lesson.

I've started trying to work through this and I'm tracking my understanding for the main chords as I go in a spreadsheet here <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HEJnZdi-Bn5jy8_wYWl8FQg7A-EuG94c9l_-iEqR-3A/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HEJnZdi-Bn5jy8_wYWl8FQg7A-EuG94c9l_-iEqR-3A/edit?usp=sharing</a> I'll keep adding to this as I go.
