Anything and everything is good enough to post on this forum, with caveats or without. Everyone should be encouraged to post their videos, whatever their ability. :encouragement:

Hexatonics - Triad Pairs To Go

Same here. I can pretty much create a chord-melody arrangement of a standard on the first or second try. That, of course, is what pianists always called "faking it." Using a lead sheet with chords...

Will archtops ever see a resurgence in popularity?

Have you been on the internet?

Hexatonics - Triad Pairs To Go

Yeah, of course. I mean I read Godel, Esher, Bach years and years ago, and no-one has done it better since.

Music of Bach, entropy and information theory

Even if you try different voicings when composing a chord melody, it's VERY easy to get "married" to an arrangement. I lied to myself for years about this, thinking I wasn't married to my arrangement...
