No cowbell anywhere to be seen...

I recommend Band-in-a-Box for practicing chord scheme's and chord changes.
 
You simply input the chords, pick a style and Band-in-a-Box is ready to accompnany your solo.

Yes, Mr. Zappa. When will the money come?
 
I think I better bring a blue paint roller with me before I set my hands on the keyboard!

As I have said;" if you want to be successful in music and EARN yourself TENS of DOLLARS" educate yourself in the art of improvisation" However, if you apply this these skills to playing jazz on gigs I suggest getting a 2nd job to help cover expenses 

Bill, I'd love to have that file as well......(when you're back at the river).

I have to go buy groceries and take a shower etc, then I have to start working on tunes for a country band gig where the lead guitar player can't make it. Then I will get back to this... wait .. Then I will git back to this here Sonar thang and thank ya fer yur support

Those dirty bastages! The gig is cancelled 

Thanks again. The file works great.

You're very welcome! Let me know if I can help on any of it. As soon as I get my stuff done I will post some more info. 
 
P.S. Due to chronic Amnesia and my absence from this Fred I will have to revue the material to figure out where I left off. My intellagance as I have pointed out isn't
 

I want to wake up this Fred! 
 
Zeroing in on a blues scale for a jazzy sound
 
Play around with your favorite E blues lick
 
Apply it to Dm7 to G7 (stay with E blues)
Then
Add CMaj7 or C6 to Dm7 and G7 and listen to the sound as you use the blues lick with each of the chords
 
end your phrase on the C Maj chord ( resolve it by sound)
