I am passing this e-mail along to him.
>Hi, I'm an intermediant Jazz guitar player. Just purchased J. Raney's
>Abersold play along CD. I'd like to see some examples (neck diagrams) of
>chords he is using in some of these songs. Trying to comp & play the
>chords written above the melody is confusing. For example: The F or Bb
>blues. When I see a chord say; F7th, Fsus,Fdim F7b5 or F7b5#9 how do I
>know what form to play. Root, 3rd or 5th in base. I'd like to see some
>chordal examples of Raney's playing here. He seems to move gracefully
>from chord to chord. When I play I seem to jump all over the neck tying
>to find & fit these 2 chords/measure. Is there a easier way to do this,
>or could someone sum up in a nut shell what comping is. I understand
>the anticipating/delaying chord thing. But what are these chords?
>I've have learned say 5 to 8 of each type, Which do I use and where?
