    This is excellent, and very generous to share like that. Went right into iReal on my iPad, no problem. Many thanks.

    Nicolas, once again congratulations on a wonderful resource. I've been in Spain for the past month and now that I'm back home I've had a chance to download it as a PDF.

    If you are at DiJ this year I would be honoured to jam with you using your superb book!

    Will

    PS Just a note for your next round of additions/corrections... on "Three Little Words" I think bar 31 should go back to the tonic chord C major?

    And also, if I were writing the chart, I would call that repeated Ab7 chord in bars four, twelve and twenty-eight "Ab9" instead of "Ab7" since the melody note is a Bb? But maybe that's just me...

    @Lango-Django another thought. play the chords that flow best keeping in mind the rules of contrapuntal voicing.

    Don't be afraid to break em just be aware of them, pretty simple in concept. Ever since watching Hal Galper on this a few years ago, I have learned more chord voicings than I ever imagined.

    Just curious, Jay, what voicings would you choose for those C6 > Ab7 changes?

    Don't know the tune at all, nor the makeup of the band playing so hard to make any intelligent comment but for e.g. A guitar in isolation

    If one used a C A E G voicing for a C6 one flow that might work nicely is to use a Ab7 voicing with the 3rd in the bottom The C can stay the same the 7 th Gb gets played on the 5 string, the Ab tonic on the 4 string and the 5 (Eb) on the 3 string.

    Of course, in reality it would depend on what others are doing, who and where is melody and what bass is doing.

    Me, here's what I'd do... I'd play that Ab9 chord, but without having the Bb note on top.

    I'd probably use x3434x or xx4312

    Because I like the sound of ninth chords...
