I appreciate the info. I have one of the recordings and I stasrted to listen and try to play to it. It's easy finding the melody and playing it but I don't know how to find the chords to play for the rhythm. Any tips? Here's a few Q's

1. Is there a way to find out what chords will work with the song just by knowing what notes the melody follows?

2. Is the I-IV-V the "rule" when I find out which key I'm in or could there be other notes available (which would make my plight more difficult)?

3. Do you have a "golden nugget" piece of advice that will lead in on the quickest path to being able to play with a band and play good (lead & rhythm)?

Thanks for all the help!
