Simply follow the basic steps for playing a tune from a lead sheet that you learned from the book and DVD you just read and watched in steps 1 & 2. Use the “Quick Start Chord Chart” to learn which notes comprise the chords in the tune you are playing.

4. Repeat step 3 a few times to the point that you understand the basic process of getting through a tune.

5. When you feel comfortable using the basic process of playing a tune using a lead sheet and want more ideas you can incorporate to make your playing sound more professional, watch and work through the 1-on-1 DVD you selected.
