Therefore, in my humble opinion, the chords used by the player to accompany any song etc, is the most vital factor applied to the playing. - So, bring back chord-work I say. ! Chords 'MAKETH' the music. Exactly as per Rachmaninov and all his classical companions. - Cheers,

Hi Colin, It’s great hearing from you. As for your thoughts about the importance of chords there is no one I know more qualified than you and your music certainly shows that to be true. I find that when you have added 12 chords to the 3 chords already in the music, or replaced them you have that which helps to bring your personal feeling into the music, the song becomes more of you. After a period of doing this you do not accept the written chords any longer. As a guitar player I learned that your chords must tell a story as your melody tells a story.
