Kirk - You had the right one first time (Classical Finger Waltz). I think Fong explained the "I chose to stick to the I-IV-V chords: A G A7 D" for a song in the key of G - he says it is the I-IV-V of D you are referring to, (not of G).
And the bass line progression + that C# was outstanding - a small touch but it makes all the difference. My ears are still stuck with the 'normal' and expected progression when I doodle, but I live in hope that creativity will happen one day. It's by listening and playing to pieces (even small pieces like this) and getting a surprise and finding out why is the best way to learn how. Thanks as always.
Thanks for the consideration in the spelling, but I can usually kope with a fair range of spelling - my komputer kopes less well
Sir Amos - I still have to tackle your epic post, but I will!
