There are many other ways to create arrangements. The worksheet I had you print out at the start of this lesson contains our teaching song in all 12 keys - so I encourage you to use this worksheet to develop your own arrangements of the song, using chords and chord substitutions as well as trying different rhythms and ways to play chords. Have fun! Click here to view and print the guide to "approaching a song" that I mention in this clip.

I'm going to be working on additional courses - right now, I'm working with a guitar player to put together a "Playing Guitar By Ear" version of this course. Watch the AML website for an announcement when it is ready.
