I think it might be helpful to at least discuss the variations on RC, because someone could use any of them, and, though for the most part they overlap pretty well, maybe you should post some other forms of the changes.
If the internet is a great resource for learning, it is great because of the generosity of people like yourself.
YCamden, I must say again how valuable your website is. The video examples say a whole lot about how these Rhythmn changes should and can be played The worst thing any of us can do is play them stock straight up and mechanical. These examples show us the way.
Thanks again
