Boo, your posts always amuse me. You're the only one that can call these three-chord monte's out without ending up on their uh, 'fecal roster' (aka sh** list). What's your secret?
chas If you figure it out, let me know man. I remember years ago so and so around Algiers playing guitar and singing for 30 years. I was playing in the French Quarters with a guy on Guitar, who could play any standard written. Tricky stuff like Moonlight In Vermont with the bridge changing key from Eb to G and not using the G to the D7 like many did, but using the Am7, D7b9, Gmaj7, Abdim so on and so forth. Here I am racking my brain to learn all of this stuff and eating it up and over in Algiers old so and so who had been playing for 30 years the same 30 songs and same 3 and 4 chord tunes with a cheater bar on the Guitar neck no less and I'm thinking why hasn't he lost his mind yet. It's just mind boggling to me. It is very, very, extremely shallow UNLESS YOU'RE MAKING $100,000 A YEAR. Ha ha. The 3 chord guys made a living here in the good old USA and Dexter Gordon had to go to Europe to make a living. Why are Europeans so much more sophisticated them Americans in the arts. Do we drink and smoke too much chit or what?

Chas, are you trying to tell us that there are MORE than three chords? I heard rumors about a 4th chord years back, but figured it was just a rumor - nothing more. All the best, Gary
