<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>I've been learning tunes over the past year. I'm up to about 120 or so. I too had difficulties. I've come up with this system.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>1. Create lead sheet from fake book and checking it out with recordings.</DIV>
<DIV>2. Jam with the recordings endlessly.</DIV>
<DIV>3. Play tapes in the car, as I drive all day.</DIV>
<DIV>4. Call the new tunes I've learned on the next gig.</DIV>
<DIV>5. Review constantly.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>I hope this is helpful.</DIV>
