Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

I would say I've made a big mess instead of a clear argument. Let me try again. The arranger/composer should only give extensions they think they are essential to the tune. The Alt symbol,...

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

The melody is usually the key because chord symbols generally reflect it. In Goodbye the first two bars are Eb Eb C D C which is Ab7. The next two are Eb Eb F Eb D which is G7, altered to G7+....

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

This is the ambiguity of the chord that I don't like. It means 4 things and they don't all work when you see an alt. I've lost the narrative in my other posts trying to show how it's ambiguous. ...

Not sure where you’re getting G from. and the b7 would be Bb.

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

Definitely doesn’t. Not sure where you’re getting that.

If it weren't red I'd probably be all over it. Interesting that they chose to price the L4C so close to this one.

I just think it's lazy to have everything else defined and then Alt can mean 9 different chords and I have to guess which one will work.

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

From your other post. C E G B Db D# Gb G# is C7 with a b9 #9, b5 and #5.

Playing melody in thirds, fourths, etc.

You people are weird. If I see 7alt what makes you think I'd play a 9 or a straight 13? Weird. None of my dom voicings have the 5 in them anyway.
