Whenever I start to learn a new song, I will first go to the songbook to see if there is a 'song' listed similar to the one I want to play and check out the style used ... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ...
Great idea....I've built up about 80 songs from styles. Gonna go this route and see what comes of it. I've got a pretty darn good repertoire already so this can only give me more diversity
