Dear Dr. O.M. Dreadnought,

My esteemed colleague. Thank you for your most helpful suggestion concerning the troublesome jazz chords.

Indeed massive fretectomy may be a radical but useful solution in this case.

I foresee only one problem. If the case of "jazz chord progression" is a serious one, the patient may still attempt some of the many jazz chords that, unknown to some, are hidden amongst the lower five frets. Of course, the problem of inversion will be overcome which naturally is the most distressing manifestation of this condition but some infectivity may be residual.

Many thanks for your valued professional advice.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Guitar
