This is Scott Murphy's own system. He is only counting half-steps from chord to chords but not including the root note of the first chord he started with. His numbers are half-steps not intervals. How he builds chords and shows the distance between two chords is different than you would build chords and explain chord progressions using music theory. Needless to say music theory and his system are two different things. Still it is interesting to watch.

I've read Aaron Copland's book all the way through and enjoyed it. Most of the things he mentioned in the book I already knew, but it was still worth the read.
