Neil,

Thanks for your very careful review.  I will fix each of these issues.  But
I do have a bit of discussion on the headword below.

I especially appreciate your careful review of style.  I find that after a
certain number of iterations on my work, I become blind to style issues and
spelling errors.  Thanks!

Carl

I really hesitate to say anything here, because I'm a real novice at music.
However, I think that the chord is a first inversion Gm chord, rather than a
first inversion G chord, due to the key signature (feel free to correct me
if I'm wrong).

In guitar accompaniments for music, it's not uncommon for chords that have
very short durations to be left out, and replaced with the chord that it
will resolve to.

I'm not claiming that this guitar accompaniment wouldn't be better if it had
a Gm chord on the first beat of the second and fourth measures.  I'm not a
qualified arranger.

I think that this arrangement of the accompaniment was simplified to
eliminate the Gm chord.  I can certainly put it in if it will make the
arrangement better.

Do you think I should add the Gm for the first beat, then the C for the
second?

Thanks, Carl
