I understand what you are saying, and i've thought about it. I will use your suggestions regardless. I disagreed, but I know better than to ignore you guys. (as a sidebar, i've been working on my attack lol, jk flo!) I trust you guys to be correct. that is never in question. I really appreciate that you are taking this kind of time to check this stuff out. and ricardo aside from the fact that most of your posts on alegrias and bulerias have been way over my head so far, i thank you for taking the time to contribute! it really means alot =) But who is this book for? if its for us, then I needn't be revising and putting it all shiny nice into a book. needn't be naming chords at all, its already done. If it were for flamencos... I think they'd all laugh lol. whats the use in naming a chord? these were originally organized under letter names, just a b c etc. no distinction beteween qualities, major minor. this project isnt just the chord book, it goes with the realbook. to me, the target audience is either total beginners who may have picked up a mel bay book here or there, or jazz/classical players.........guys who are prettttty darn familiar with western harmony. its not like we really need a snazzy version on the foro, we all ahave the original lol either way, its written in english, unless someone whose spanish is far more eloquent than mine should care to offer up his services....... but that sitll limits the demographic even further my plans for distribution are by free ebook. and if the demand is high enough, printed copies sold at cost. basically i'm saying, most of the viewing audience is either totallyl inexperienced or already from a western harmony background. in any case the amount of literature out there that supports a mode based flamenco harmony background development is slim in comparison. probability says the more jazz spelled we make this, the more accessable it will be. I will of course, still be using your spellings, and i thank you for catching the mistakes. it takes a keen eye, and i'm mostly concerned with just producing material right now!
