Do you make up your own chords?

This has been a great thread with many excellent points. I loved the Bill Evans tune posted earlier. This Vic Juris Reharm of ATTYA, is great.

That's good too. Herbie Hancock was a flipping wizard in that regard. I have yet to hear a guitarist pull off something on par.

Can you link to or name a few of the tunes you have in mind? Thanks.

Sure- get Inventions and Dimensions by Herbie. The whole album is based on some very loose, almost game-like improv ideas, and it sounds wonderful- not noisy, dissonant "free jazz" but something very special.

After hearing that, his work as a band leader and sideman with Miles and Wayne Shorter make a lot more sense, and you can really appreciate his talent and ear.
