In the way that I look at harmony, for example, C6 is not a chord. It's a voicing of a Cmaj type chord. That type of the chord could be a I chord or a IV chord. A min7 is a voicing of a different...

Sure. It's best shown with a fingering diagram or a video so it might take me a day or two though. I might be able to explain point 1 in text: - Suppose you want to play an ascending chromatic...

The real problem here is actually the atrocious playing (as usual), but putting that aside, The IR version doesn't even sound like an acoustic guitar anymore. Why on earth you would put flatwounds...

IR sounds much better but a tiny bit watery. If it were me, I’d start from there and reduce the bass a smidge and boost the frequencies above 7khz a hair to restore the transients a touch. The other...

Recording my acoustic updated with version with IRs.

Thing is, every chord has more than one name - it's synonyms - e.g., the two examples you gave: Am6 = F#m7b5 & A11 (no 3rd) = Em7 For the purpose of organization, I'd label all these chord...
