And the anwser is YES YES YES - it's one of the main idea's of this section that member can interact which eachother - specially the students to share there progress and there difficulties on there guitar journey. I myself don't have so much free time left to be very active in these discussions but of course I support them. ?

Ah you mean " Wave " by Jobim. Thats a wonderful song. I play that as well - as a solo version. This drum track works fine - you can use that one. ?
