Maybe I'm just dumb but what are the voicings you are using? When I see a
progression that is to be played on the guitar I always wonder how the notes
"stack-up". If it is for a piano then I guess you're talking about root at
the bottom and all of the rest in close voicing. I have a real problem with
lists of chord progressions that don't give me a hint of what inversions are
meant to be played. Am I the only one that has this problem and it is self
obvious to the rest of the world?
