Divert from the course and chase a song or two from the excellent instructional library here. Have some rock-n-roll ice cream along the way with that lesson broccoli.

Speaking of 'ice cream' and chords...

A little music trivia -- Do a web search on "ice cream chords" or "ice cream progression." I don't know the origin of the term but for a very long time the progression of I vi IV V, e.g., C Am F G (or G7), has been referred to as "ice cream". If one wants to open up hundreds, if not thousands of songs to play, have some "ice cream."

Have fun.


"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
