Ah, I love technical discussions. @smoothatonalsnd thanks for the clarification. Also thanks for the love @Scissortail I know just enough about music to know it shouldn't be me writing these things (as has become obvious throughout the thread). I really is like speaking a foreign language where you might fool fellow non-speakers but its a laugh for native speakers if you try and bs your way through.

I realize people have lives and so forth so I can't expect people to review every jam or anything, but it would be great to listen while reading along while someone explains musically *exactly* what is going on in the jams. I think most casual listeners certainly can tell immediately about dissonance and resolution but there are a ton of what seem to be modal shifts and major/minor key changes as well as rhythmic variations.
