Hi David,

I'm gradually starting to build my licks for the chorus form and can utilise them in the AAA, AAB and AB/AC forms, however when I try to ncorporate fills either made up by myself or from the study songs, I more often than not cannot keep time and then I get totally lost. I've tried slowing the jam tracks down, but still find myself in difficulty as described above.

Regards,

Paul

Hello Paul. This is a good challenge... it takes time to develop this skill set... tracking where you are in the form is challenging. You might want to study Accompaniment Study 4, which teaches fills with vocals. The fills you play with vocals are commonly the same timing you use with your improvising in Chorus Forms.
