[HANASHIR:1548] inversions.

[nana lister <nlister...>]

Adrian... I keep re-reading what you wrote about the Shimon Cohen method
and surely he couldn't find more than 3 inversions.  How then, could one
play a song where the same chord returns many times.  CEG,EGC,GCE.  Then
What.  Move to another octove?  I am most interested in this discussion
of learning music.  I am one of those unfortunates who can read
anything, either lead lines with chords, or conventenional keyboard,,/ 
And yet the only time I can play by "ear" is when it is a simple 3 chord
folk song, but if I have to pick up on 4 or 5 chords I will need at
least two scotches.  Maybe the alcohol releases my inhibitions.  I
taught piano and organ for many years and my worst nightmares came from
trying to get true ear players to be able to read the notes. I had to
forbid playing anything more than one time and also find music the
student had never  heard.  Nana Lister
