Wayne, Thanks for the info, it wasn't exactly what i was shooting for, but it is very interesting indeed. In my own playing, I had always associated something similar to each notes too, I suppose. Although, I had never taken the time to really put much thought into it, or put it in words. I will have to check that book you mentioned out. Thanks again,
Jordan ps. I know that Matt Seatle is on this list, I would be interested to hear what he had to say in regards to this topic. Any thoughts Matt?
