Thread Name: Bob Gibson, new book
Subject: RE: Bob Gibson, new book
Can't wait to read it. I never met him, but from talking to those who knew him...he sounded fascinating.

...And of course he was that 'transition guy' melody and chord wise. He used diminished, augmenteds, circle of fives, the three chord etc. I'd put him up there with the Beatles as far as showing more complex ways to harmonize songs.
