I know there has been some discussion on this forum regarding the Mick Goodrick Mr Goodchord Volumes and that they have been out of print for some time. I have access to a scanner at work that can scan through its feed tray on the top of the copier. Wondering if anyone out there would mind me borrowing their Goodchord volumes to scan in. I don't know what legal climate this would put us all in, as it is copyrighted material, however, it's been out of publication and therefore there is no legal means of purchasing the book and thereby giving money to the proper author and publisher. Please let me know if you would mind my borrowing a copy in order to scan in a version for myself. Thanks in advance.

II-V-I Voice-leading Here are some common ways to voice-lead II-V-I progressions. “Drop 2” and “drop 3” voicings are some of the most common in jazz guitar comping. There are two PDF files; one with the chord roots on the 5th string,. Inside Improvisation Series (vol. 1-6) by Jerry Bergonzi, pub. Advance Music.

Also, if this post gets taken down its no big deal. I realize the area of the law that this request puts us all in.

So if this post disappears, no harm no foul and I won't touch the subject again. I'm exploring the possibilities of Sher publishing reissuing the volumes of the almanacs, and all of Mick's published works if they would. This would put the material at easy access to everyone since Sher is widely distributed, and a great publisher by the way. Programma dlya razvertki detalej ventilyacii.

If there were a digital copy floating around out there, it'd probably torpedo any possibilities of that happening. I just posted something about this on the thread I've got running in this forum. I'd encourage anyone interested in urging Sher in this endeavour to write to Sher and throw in your two cents. I'd also try to discourage dissemination of scanned digital copies at this point. But do what you must. It'd just be nice if a good publisher felt it was worth their time, and everyone could buy it (hard and/or download) with a benefit to the author. Is anyone using this material?

Care to share your progress on the Goodchord thread? Thanks David. It sounds to me like this fellow Goodrick had some friends in the Boston-area academic computing community, at some point, and they got to start talking music theory.

And one of them, probably said, 'Gee it would be simple enough to write a program, to generate the permutations of these voice movements'. And it sounds like they went ahead and did it. Don't you think this is what happened? Lots of people have commented on unplayable note combinations, and the vast number of combinations, without any real sense of being able to figure out what is usable vs. It sounds to me like this fellow Goodrick had some friends in the Boston-area academic computing community, at some point, and they got to start talking music theory.
