Chances are that the loop software you're using won't allow you to change the chord structure. However, there's a program called Melodyne Studio that will take polyphonic audio files and allow you to change the pitch of individual notes within a chord. The list price is $699.00, though the street price is probably lower. You can download a demo of it here: http://www.celemony.com/cms/index.php?i ... studioHave fun.

Jody,There are also a lot of very competant guitar players on this site, many of whom would probably be willing to collaborate with you. (Plan "B" is find an F7th chord in your sample and accept the Sus4!) ~Stan

Oh you crazy jazz guys and your sustained chords. I was at my brothers today. Hes a classical guitarist. Hes practicing jazz pieces on the classical. I looked at his charts and was blown away. I never really looked at jazz on paper.You guys are awesome. Mode mixing, time changes in the middle of bars. Scary stuff.M~

Suspensions, Matt. Asus2 is very common in modern rock; you'd probably recognize it if I had a diagram handy. Push down the D and G strings at the second fret. Strum. AAh! Sound familiar?

Most guitar players are pretty dense, granted, but if you bang the high A note on your piano, eventually he'll get it. Waive a scotch under his nose & it should come quicker.You're a decent piano player....You can't find a guitar player in NY who's open to a bartering deal? Samples only when necessary. Wade
