[Dixielandjazz] Chord Symbols Guitar v. Piano

[Stephen Barbone]

To quote Tony Ricigliano's great text, Popular and Jazz Harmony: "One of
the most important points to remember when revising sheet music is that
the guitar chords or symbols shown above the melody are NOT to be relied
upon as an accurate analysis of the chords in the piano accompaniment
for several reasons"  etc.

To which I would add: Mr. Ricigliano left out one very important reason.
Guitar players simply cannot finger many of the extensions that the
piano player might play. Of course you could always abbreviate a Gm13 on
the piano by playing a Gm6 on Guitar, and so on. ;-)
