Yea... if you haven't been schooled on basic functional harmony as in the direction of Equenda... get it together. It's kind of like one of the standard building block of western music. But that...
I thought from your first post you were turning on some Count Basie and just winging it, which like Jeff said, would be starting at the end. But it seems like you are aware of the changes as you're...
Probably no harm in putting a cushion beneath the pickguard - I just figure the main objective is to fill the void between the top of the guitar and the inside of the case lid - that's what the two...
