Bernie, I meant the STYLE variation, ie. Var 1, Var 2, Var 3, etc. No biggie, it just introduces the next part (intro, verse, chorus, etc.). Plus, it's just a suggestion. Adds a little interest to the accompaniment. Might as well use as much of that style as the song will accommodate. Again, purely subjective.

Bernie, keep listening to the original song, let that be your guide.
Then add some of you.

The best part of you is that you really enjoy what you are doing.
You have made some great changes, keep experimenting. Try using the face you put in S.Z. – it’s pretty. (he he he)

More music please, John C.

John, you nailed it, saying something few people will mention "my face". I may not be able to change my face, but can change my expression: SMILE LOL

Bernie, in my younger days people would dance past me and make a smile face. My wife told me that they wanted to know why I was so serious. After that I made sure there was always a smile on my face – and yes, sometime it hurt. (smile)

You have the choices: to enjoy what you are doing; and I know that you do. Or worry about “Am I sounding and looking good”, or am messing up. You have the ability to do either.

Boy, I can’t wait until I see the next song with the new face.
Bernie, you have to admit, this is exciting.
Take care, John C.

It’s always good to listen to an arrangement on record you like, and try to note how often the drummer fills, how often he changes the groove, how often the lead instrument changes, etc..

Let that be your guide for how often you use your arranger’s fill and One Touch features, and your version will be as interesting…
