thanx jjjoe.

idea #1:
Why don't U do this in the number system as well & explain the system a bit & encourage ppl to try it in all the keys..
This will reinforce the indepth knowledge of each note number for all major scales.

idea #2:

Can U post the LH rootless voicings to go with that if possible..


Thanx.

These chords that i listed are use to teach progressions. Like a chord progression system you can use this system to play many songs by using the progression techniques for ex use these chords to play 7 3 6 or 1 4 5 or 2 5 1  explain more later. Also ask T block for more info too.

I get U..
But these are also good 4 learning 1's scales..

I started off by learning scales thew basic way, but then had to re-learn them like this bcos these have a nicer voicing & then I re-learnt the scales with 7ths ..

eg, the C/ C-E-G became C-C/B-E-G etc..
so what U have posted is good for learning scales..
But for a 7-3-6, I would add some sharps or flats eg, the 7-3-6 would be

in the number system or key of CM

7/ 6-1-2-4 or 5  =   B/ A-C-D-F or G
3/ #5-1-2-5 or 3 =  E/ Ab-C-D-G or E
6-6/ 3-5-(6)-1   =  A-A/ E-G-(A)-C

But my intention was not to come to the progressions etc.
I merely wanted U 2 help beginners learn the number system early & immediately apply your nice chords in all the keys.

The 2nd idea of LH rootless voicings was so that the beginners are not caught in the same trap I am of not being good at chording with the LH.
The sooner it's introduced to them, I think the better.

Do I make sense? ?/?

(I just didn't want ppl to be stuck in 1 key, that's all. ;) )
