When there's 2 for each chord, it's 1 and Alex JAZZ tune ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cmaj7 (G on top) 1 A7#5 +9 (C top) 1 Dm7 (A on top) 1 G13 (G top) G7#5 (D# top) 1 to 2 C69 (G top) 1 A7#5b9 (Bb top) 1 D9 (A top) 1 Db9 (Ab to Bb top) 1 and 1 Gm9 (A to G top) 1and 1 C13 (D top) 1 F69 (C to G top) 1 to 2 Abm6+5 (E to F on top) 2 and 2 Bb13 (2x G on top) 2 A7 (G to A on top) 2 and 1 D9 (E to A on top) 2 and 1 G7#5 (D# on top) 2 I like it a lot now I might record the pattern at some point and throw it online for you to access Very cool Tony Alex

I’ve played with this and wll write a transcription in tab and dots when I get a moment

I’ve worked it to have a nice line on top constantly, this works for me~

Because I didn’t know your voicings I substuted some chords, the substitution Ab I used was the only way my ear could resolve the Bb to the Em which I also substituted

My ways of getting around the chords that I could get my ear to accept I moved the top line to allow it to work

I’ve put the chord top notes in to show how I’m thinking, the string numbers are listed as 1 and 2. When there’s 2 for each chord, it’s 1 and
