hello everyone,

I want to thank everyone for their input on my last post, "practicing",
it was very helpful. I have been working on the rootless chord sets that
Reed posted , these have helped me sort through the many chord forms I
have worked out and isolate the ones that are more useful and will get
the most mileage. I have not worked tensions into these forms yet but I
will slowly get to that. Are there any suggestions on how to apply these
chord forms to a tune? what rhythm should I use to practice these forms
over a tune? any info. on practicing new chord forms by using a tune
would be very helpful.

I would also like to know how you transcribe changes off a record? what
techniques do you use to find the chord voicings the guitarist or piano
player are using?

Thanks!!
