Added Rhodes to hear if an add made any sense. Slippery slope at best....

PaulM44 Thanks Mario. I stem-split your track to 5 tracks and removed the flute and other background sounds for more clarity for what I was adding--which I thought might be too much. Cheers.:) +1

Another way to approach a track with lots of key changes is to map it out. When playing backing where a melodic line is already there it's a good idea to be playing chord tones.

It's a good try, but way too many changes to make winging it work. +1

PaulM44 I needed an extra set of ears! Yes, it was a stretch but I needed the challenge and I was trying to keep it in the "plausible" category. +1

Wade You've got the feel and rhythm down. So you've got it working from that standpoint. Just so many changes that come so quickly. This type of track takes work. It comes down to putting in the time/effort, or working with tracks that don't require a lot of time. Hopefully I'm not offending. Just trying to give you the challenge required or suggesting keeping within your comfort zone.

This is advice I often give to people who are trying to play beyond their current means. We should push ourselves in practice, yet when performing (recording) keep within our comfort zone.

The less experienced players make everything sound difficult. The Pros make everything sound easy. Once again the key is to keep inside our current comfort zone and in practice to push those limits. +1

PaulM44 Thanks, yes, good advice. My problem is that I didn't hear the key changes so assumed it was all in Dm. Thanks for the heads up and the need for better checking at the beginning. Obviously above my pay grade. :) +1

Wade Very glad you're OK with the above. If you aren't comfortable with mapping out the changes or hearing them (a lot of work if you can't hear and react to them very quickly), then (for now) stick with tunes that are in one key or have simple changes. I would have also had a lot of trouble with this tune if trying to play with it without mapping the changes first. The quality of our playing has nothing to do with the degree of difficulty. It's about fitting and enhancing... giving feeling, emotions, and stories that others can enjoy. Being inside the music rather outside. Well, that more than enough from me. Play and enjoy! +1

PaulM44 Yes, it is an internal debate between mechanically mapping or just playing along and trying to sound like a natural fit (assuming hearing the changes aren't too radical :)
I like your yardstick comment: "The less experienced players make everything sound difficult. The Pros make everything sound easy." +1
