PS:

I suspect that Dave is the kind of guy, who not wants to play random
notes, that fit to the chords. I suspect he has got an idea, but not
the ability to intuitive play the right note on a keyboard. IRC Dave
is a guitarist, too, so if he's playing the guitar, he most likely is
able to play exactly the notes he wants to play. Assumed I'm not
mistaken, if Dave should test a device, then a guitar to MIDI thingy.
If I would be super-reach, I would test such a modern guitar to MIDI
thingy. Unfortunately I'm not super-rich, so I stay with the "note by
note" approach.
