[Harp-L] Making the Move to Chromatic

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

Great suggestions.

Actually, i'm pretty comfortable with modes.  i sort of lump them in  
with scales.  I've also got a little Yamaha electric piano i got on  
sale a couple of years ago for $99 and a keyboard chord book which  
i've misplaced.  Haven't misplaced the piano--just haven't been using  
it to figure stuff out like i should.

i've pretty much figured out the dominant 7th chord intervals and the  
major 7th chord intervals  and the minor 7th chord intervals.  It's  
the structure of the myriad of other chords that I don't know off the  
top of my head. I mean, I suppose i could add a 9th without too much  
trouble, but beyond that, I have stop and think or refer to a  
reference of some kind.

Yeah, it takes a lot of practice.

Again, i appreciate the very useful suggestions.
