This thread seems like fatjack's worst sweaty nightmare.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

in my experience, most horn players are very inadequate with knowledge of chord construction

last time I checked a trumpet can only play one note at a time. I was great at playing at different keys but I never learned chords until I started playing guitar. Now that I am trying my hand at piano it is even more difficult when a chord doesn't have the same shape for different notes. For instance, on the guitar to play c maj to d maj I just slide up two frets, on piano you have to know that there is an f# in dmaj and play a black key.

True, but on a piano all C and D chords are the same shape regardless of where on the keyboard they are. Pros and cons. Pros and cons.

no shit sherlock... last time I checked though, knowing about chords was rather important for ANYONE who wants to be able to improvise :roll:

Before I picked up the guitar all I played was bass clarinet and i didn't know chords at all.
