thanks guys for all your help,putting up this query has made me realise things that i managed to work out for myself,but also made me aware of progressions,what scott langolff said is what i realised about playing chords without moving your hand up and down the keyboard,while i have been learning for the past year i think that i have learned alot,my teacher only teaches me little bits at a time,so i always ask loads of questions and take notes,but,if you don,t know what to ask,then you don,t get told.hopefully many others will get some help from this post,cheers mike
