Epic Guitar Day

Went around a couple music stores looking for an Ibanez. Got my eyes on a Sunburst Ibanez AS73 that has the advantage over my Casino in that it has humbuckers, and its somewhat easier to play down the high end of the neck.

Practiced and practiced the chord forms today. Started again to learn the three diminished forms. Even composed part of a melody using Conti's chords. 

One hurdle for me will be in the transposition of the chords to different chords. A task I may work on tomorrow is to keep track of what forms DO NOT USE THE ROOT.  

This Conti Stuff? Absolutely Great.

Edit: it looks like the only forms that sometimes do not use the root are majors. Hmmmm. I wonder if that's useful to know. We'll see.
