I'm going to learn Jazz Chords!!!!
 

That's what I told myself a couple of years ago.

Got a book, watched a few videos, and dug in. Gave it up real fast. My brain is simply too fried to retain any 'learned' type stuff.

But once my hands got back into shape I started remembering lots of cool ways to play chords and some of them looked complex.

Bought a transcriber and plugged in the chord fingerings of a little progression I'd come up with:

E5
E (b6, no.3)
E7 sus2
Esus (b6)

So I've been playing 'jazz' chords all along but didn't know it. Same goes with Theory.

Got a book and as I'm going through it I'm realizing I already 'know' all the stuff.
All the years off listening and learning **** by ear had already drilled in the knowledge.


Anyway, pretty cool!
