Maybe I'll just write about how to take the chords from the major family as a starting point, e.g.: change the major 7th in a voicing to a b7 to get a voicing for the dominant family. But if there are enough requests, I guess I'll have no choice. ;-) Hi Jim,

That tip about organizing the chords in a top-down approach made a lot of sense and the combination of diagrams and sound files was especially useful to me. Any chance for a similar post for the other chord families?
