Joe Pass The Berklee Chord Game
Did you ever hear about the famous Berklee Correspondence Course in the 1970's?
One of the exrcises I liked was building chords in a crosswords type of game...
Today that exercise is alive again. You can play it in the following address:

It is an easy but funny game...

Or better yet, correct it so it allows us to write G. I made one legitimate mistake when taking this. Nomenclature shouldn't be a mistake on this type of test because it's not particularly relevant, yet it takes off for writing Db instead of C# or B as the minor third of an Ab chord because it wants Cb. Yeah, it is right but not relevant.

Happy New Year to me. I want to kick myself for any of the real mistakes I made on this. Have to learn to slow down.

Neat. I enjoyed that.

@Paynow...

Yep... I remember the pedantic (or so I thought at the time) lecture by a composition prof about making certain that I wrote changes so that they could be analyzed within the applicable tonal area. ;-/

Frankly, outside of a university exercise, I don't think I'd ever write anything in G#. Then again...ya never know! '-D

The guy that made this geeky dice music theory game lives in Placerville near me. It's kinda cool. Check it out! I guess it won an award at NAMM.
