  Hi TOny, 

  Just what the doctor ordered this site...of course there's nothing else besides minors...just as Ian Stewart (Stones) used to say..."if the key is major I won't play it"!!!  

  Every e-mail is a big laughter! I really appreciate being here.

  Thank y'all

  Roberto

  Roberto you have joined the correct group of people.
  Are there any other chords besides minors?

  Surely we all love miserable self indulgent crap, why else would we be here? Bring on the block chords!

  PS link doesn't show on the list site, so will have to catch up with it later, sounds good though.
