Excellent. Between the 3rd and 5th fret of that Bb9 is a stretch for me. I was way slow at changing chords, but can hear what you're driving at and it sounds nice and smooth. Some nice inversions I've never tried there.

I'd like to add this, which was posted a while ago, by Monk. I saved it and then forgot it till yesterday:

Quote:
Tonic=Home Base or Rest
Sub-Dominant moves away from Tonic
Dominant returns to Tonic

All of the seven diatonic chords break down into one of these three main functional categories.

The Tonic chords are I, iii and vi.
The Sub-Dominant chords are IV and ii.
The Dominant Chords are V and vii.

The reduction of seven chords into three categories is made possible by the common tones shared by the chords each category. This also makes diatonic substitution possible.
How's that for a gold nugget!
