Mark, you have inspired to go back and start piano lessons again, thanks.

You wrote:
My God, the stuff he’s teaching me. How a jazz musician plays, chord substitution, altered chords, extended chords, suspensions, open chords, runs, improvisation, 11ths, 13th’s, etc. It doesn’t stop there. How to practice effectively for maximum results. Practice should be multi-sessions of half dozen short ones daily instead of one long practice session. How to listen to pre-recorded music, note by note, to learn how other instrumentalists “ride” and emulate what they’re doing (I slowed down Santana’s Smooth and figured out he’s only playing variations on scales). and so much more.

Mark, I have tried to bring that subject to SynthZone with no response. You have brought methods of improving one’s ability to play music – and the fantastic story of what can be done with chords.
Mark this is one of the best posts for improving self that I read, thank you.
