Chromatic

I've worked out some very simple parts for some of the key changes in And she Was. I think it will sound ok, kind of brass style fills really. I'll see tomorrow night with the band whether it fits.

I've also started to practice major scales on the Chromatic (for the common keys the band plays in) and I am going to learn each blues scale as well (I know F so far). It's a fair bit of work but I think in the long run it will be worth while. The main problem is that I am so used to thinking in terms of flats. The flattened 3rd, 5th or 7th are often referred to in blues music but everything is sharp on a chromatic so I'm starting to try and think of it as sharp 2, 4 and 6. Confusing. I'll get there. I hope...
