Lawson,
What you need to do is to really go through my earlier posts.
That doesnt mean casually reading them.
It means getting the sheet music, reading it (not just looking
at the chord symbols on top which are wrong half the time)
and then following the analysis completely.
If you can't follow the analysis at some partciular measure,
then that is a point for discussion or questions.
If you approach it in this way (similarly to what I'm sure you have
had to go through for your day gig) you will succeed.
