Dave. A nice article and thank you for providing some in-put to your style of playing.
I started to learn keyboard by reading sheet music (can't play without it). My left hand auto drops on the required chords without me thinking. I see a Cmaj7 on the sheet music and my hand without input from myself (well it seems that way) automatically forms the shape required.
I would just love to be able to do it the way your instruction above indicates. You have inspired me to have go.
