Boo, you can download the Real book, actually three of them, from PSR Tutorial, if you feel like stealing. I didn't feel bad about doing that, because at one time I did buy them. I'm sure they are in a big box in the attic along with hundreds of other books.
The vast majority of us here are not accomplished enough to play all the chords written in the Real Book on many songs. Many here cannot read music.
And if we could manage to get six changes in a measure, our arrangers would not recognize a lot of them and make mistakes for us. We can make enough on our own, as you are kind enough to keep pointing out.
We all understand how good you are, and some of us wish we were that good. I could play a lot of the songs in those books, but really nobody in my audiences want to hear them, and if they did, they just want to hear a melody line they recognize and a beat they can dance to. How are the audiences in Colorado responding to your music?
It's one thing to sit at home and spend eight hours perfecting a song, then step-sequencing it note by note, then playing along or singing with it, but I'd rather be out working and entertaining people. I'm not saying do them wrong, and you are absolutely right about having the correct basic changes so you can sing the melody correctly, but I am saying too many complicated changes are beyond the capabilities of many of us, and are difficult to incorporate into the technology we're using.
We are mostly old men enjoying making music on our arrangers, and sharing it with people who appreciate it.
And, I would add that if our "botched up crap" offends you, don't let the door hit you in the ass as you leave.
You don't have a problem dishing it out so . . .
