Rick,

I once again must agree with you. Remember in "Jurrasic ParK" when the Malcom character said to Richard Attenborough " You got so exicited that you could do it ( Clone dinosaurs) that you never stopped to think wherher you should." or words to that effect. Its the same with music. I can play a raft of chords between C and F but why? A C7 fills the bill nicely Phil Ochs could get a little "Chordy" at times. Try Power and Glory witha few less chords and it will be fine. Now that my fingers aren't as fast or as precise as they once where I have to be much more aware of what I try to play than I used to. I think its very true that often "Less is more".
