Art, good job. I never thought anybody would get The Montgomery Ward (aka Ragtime) Changes. But the walk down in the Bridge, uses Slash chords - no diminished. The song is in Eb, and I don't want to Change what's right, but it's easier for beginners to understand if they see it in C. All the normally minor chords are major, but they can tell, by the roots that they are all in the C scale. Also, I'm a Fanatic about Inversions and Chord Voicing. Does this sight let you write the chord - or does it autofill? Maybe I should do it in C, but credit you in a Note. There's a lot I've got learn here, like how to submit a song. So far I've just been corrected horribly guitar attempts. KICEMAN
