      This will mark the end of the material as far as this website is concerned. What is here is very sketchy and is meant as only an indicator of what to do for all the chord types for which examples were not given. There is much more beyond this as well. 13th chords, 9/13 chords, all their alterations, and all kinds of bitonal chords have yet to be discussed. All that will have to wait for the book. When do I anticipate having the book published? Your guess is as good as mine.


      A great deal of the bitonal melodic material is already published as Unit 10: Bitonals - Melodic


      Unit 10 is the last unit of my previous book, Vertical Truth - Chordal Mechanisms for the Guitar and is the melodic material I got from John Elliott (the melodic material on this website is my own). So there is an overlap between the two books there. It would make sense to eliminate Unit 10 from the chordal book and include it in the melodic book if and when I ever get it done.


      I have recently received copies of some of John's arranging material from one of my subscribing teachers who studied with John in the early '70's. I intend to go through that material and see if there's anything relevant to the melodic approach I've given here on this website.


      If anything on this website has piqued your interest and you'd like to take some lessons or correspond with me about the subject I welcome your contact. Just go to the Contact Page to get my contact info.
