Thanks Douglas.
The point 2) is the one which stops me. Can you tell me what is this "form", please? Keep in mind that playing is just and no more then an hobby for me.
I am trying, as a starting point, to understand the "form" on your song tutorials, listening the playalong without seeing the transcriptions. I think the form is the rhythm and here starts my problems.
Thanks a lot
