Indeed! Thanks to the rock voicings in rock level 1, I've been able to figure out a passable version of AC/DC's "You shook me all night long". This always eluded me in that I couldn't figure out how the blazes Angus was making the chord changes. Turns out, with the rock voiced versions it's quite easy :-)

Top of my list once I'm through Rock Level 2. Eventually. Seem to have "found my level" with that one and having to work through it slowly and methodically.

Yeah, simple crotchets so far.

Probably a slightly more distant goal...

I'm thinking that, with a reasonable handle on the major scale, this'd be quite a good place to go next?

P.S. Finally nailed the bread & butter blue lick @80bpm, working on the 120...
