https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html	how do i play music. ive got the instruments and i can play them and everything but now what. do i find some sort of music-playing group. or should i just try some keys	now it's probably a good idea to sort out the other side of the picture: words, language, visual imagery, stories. all those things are best friends with music. and music is best friends with all of those things. like food and a plate: food is often better with a plate, and most plates are indeed better with food. Like having shoes: next, get some feet. and so on

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html	or something else entirely?	it's that, but i'd say you have to skip the Eb note in the Abmaj7, to give the melody room to do C D E. and the last chord.... i hear A in the melody, F in the bass, i also hear D, and it feels crunchy in a way that Dmaj/F would feel. Without opening it up, that's my best guess. Okay, i've opened it, and i was right. and it's also worth noting that actually none of the maj7's have their 5 notes in them.
