And please don't stop trying!! I thought I better chime in on behalf of those doing the reading that you aren't aware of. This thread, my good friend, in invaluable to one who is functionally illiterate with regard to the subject of music theory. I am one of the many who just started learning where to put his fingers in order to make a chord. As often happens when one learns to play this way, is that I found myself wanting to be able to understand the sheet without the record, to not have to ask how to make a diminished, minor, 7th, circumcised and neutered chord. I want to be able to construct it meself.

So keep this thread going.........it is working.
