Exactly what I was trying to play in my last post. I am learning a lot of theory, but I have not yet reached the point where I can apply much of it to my playing as I want to, especially on the fly, off the top of my head. To be able to function that fast in theory, etc. seems like it will take many years. Still, I'm not discouraged, I will work until I reach the point where I want to be. Being a music major in composition next year should speed the process a bit.
