Learned that playing single notes during the course of the song is ok; no need at this point for me to get burdened down with a bunch of chords for many melody notes.
Learned to notate the songs in such a way that will hopefully be useful in maintaining them in a repertoire. Memorization just doesn't cut it for me.
Will put Conti's book "The Formula!" on hold for now.
Moving towards getting into Garrison Fewell's book "Jazz Improvisation for Guitar: A Melodic Approach."
Thanks again to Robert Conti for making the world of chord melody guitar accessible to me.
