Mark, you're thinking too much about this stuff. Step...away...from the...theory book, smile

I read a theory book one time that insisted the four chord was really a substitute for the two minor. That had me putting two minors in parentheses for months: IV(ii) which is really 8 I guess. IV(ii)=VIII=IIX. But if the four substitutes for a two minor, how about a four minor? Simple! That would be a substitute for a six-flat. iv=VIb. Of course, they're not equal, only substitutes. After that I started drinking a lot of Jack Daniels, getting real high, and playing the Blues. I think there was a causal relationship there. I was substituting.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
