I'm starting to understand how this could theoretically work. My question is, is anyone actually doing it? I may be accptionaly dense, but am I to understand that if you were doing a lead solo, you'd have to be sure to hit the root note for each chord change? So every few mearures or less, you have to hold down your sustain pedal, and at that same instant play the root note of the chord you want to change to? What if I wanted to do a melody line that would require me to play the fifth of a chord without the root?
This itn't even my problem I lrealize, but it still fascinates me.
