Hi Jeff...

I hear you loud and clear and I agree with you. I don't have a problem with power chords. Not found of the other chord types though. I know, it's a lazy problem. Or, lack of interest problem really.

To be honest? I actually prefer rythm over lead. I think it takes just as much tallent to create inspiring, memorable rhythms as it does to create a lead lick.

I'm currently working on some material now that is requiring me to start looking into chords. In some ways, I put the cart before the horse. The good thing is though, it's all in the same key, same scale.
