love the feedback! and coming from one jazz nurtured and who teaches, all the more glorious...i may not have fully stood behind my lists but am glad it has brought about some responses...remember, some of us are Canucks (ie. fencesitters....then again there is the odd exception like Don Cherry, our moderator, lol)
a therapist where i work during the day just told me of how guitar hero has been helpful in their field...maybe i should move it to the top of the "best" list
question cathy: yeah, the voicing (open chord) issue is loud and clear and I think i only briefly mentioned it on my pro-capo rant but when you say you cap+5 in G for IYCRMM, wouldn't playing in C cound open and give one that longer rich string tone? i thought it would be easy for the key accompaniest also....i realize it's not how the Gord plays it but just wondered...i do love alt arrangements so there's a biast...i'm one who believe we all hear slightly different tones and see slightly differnet colours...that's why i like B+W...it reduced art to a lower common denominator and let's the focus on composition occur...sorry, i'm mutitasking here and may be more inarticulate than even per usual
yeah, this should be under small talk...no offense if ya want to move it, char
