Thanks L,

Yes time signature and tempos are critical, those changes have to made somewhere in the chordal transitions for sure. Changing tempo is always fairly easy... Since I've never yet had an drastic tempo changes, I generally start the new rhythm/tempo at the very last note of the old song, or build it up from there.


Your drop to a full tone and a half, to go up one full step in key, is the same as I've described
"So to go up 1 full step in key, I play the 4th (correctio, 5th) chord in the new key.". The E7 is the 4th (correction 5th) chord in the key of A (as far as I know). The difference is you use the 7th note of the 4th (correction, 5th) chord as well. Thanks for that tip. And I'll try to get a copy of the Dire Straits CD. I don't necessarily need religious music as examples.

Thanks again L.
