  • It really doesn't matter if you don't add the b9s and 6ths and what have you. They're just colour tones which the pianio or guitar play might or might not add at their discrection.

  • I mean, I sometimes throw in a chromatic here and there. And by that I think he meant that you don't have to use exclusively harmonic intervals. Which is true.

    But still. It's expertvillage. So... Blech.

  • yeah, right...ask barry harris, or hank jones...

  • it's jazz man...the exact chords don't really even matter.

  • yes, that half diminished court off the top is wicked important.....

  • very good

  • Well, you really don't have to. I mean I don't always play the right notes of the chord I sometimes play A right before I hit Ab. You know what I mean? I'm still learning, though.

  • the first three chords of "what is this thing called love" are not Gm7-C7-F7!! they are Gm7b5-C7b9-Fm6!!!

  • you dont have to play the exact notes of the chords? another expertvillage-fool hits the ground!
