What's a chord scale? (I'm serious) The first time I ever heard this
term was here on the list, and it's been referred to a lot in the Learning
Jazz thread. When I first heard it mentioned I thought that's pretty
much the way I look at things anyway (each chord change is just like
playing in a different mode of the key plus adjusting for the quality of
the chord i.e. minor,dim.,7,etc.). I'm now wondering if my assumption was
correct, or is there more to it. Just so there's no confusion, I know
major, minor, whole tone, and am now working on diminished scales.
Someone please straighten me out.

peace,
