For "musicians" with an academical
background it's very important,
for
people who are simply musicians this kind of
theory is completely
unimportant.
thanks for speaking on behalf of all of us ralf. or perhaps on the
other hand, we're grown up enough to decide for ourselves?

I'm not anti academies.
All I wanted to say is: "Don't care too much about how chords are named
and why they are named, the way they are named. Just take care that the
emotion that should be transported by your music, is transported by your
music."
IIRC another reply was regarding to "it's better to know how to name
chords, than to say 'put one finger to that fret and another finger to
this fret'" Full ACK, but in the beginning nobody is able to know that
and after a while everybody is able to know what to do, we neither need
to name a chord, nor to say where to put the fingers. Just for the
record, to know a chord's name doesn't protect to say "put one finger
here and another finger there", there are 3 inversions, for three notes
and for string instruments such as a guitar, we have additional
extensions, such as two strings should or shouldn't play the same note.
One and the same named chord could cause different emotions.
Is it an advantage to be able to see on which key, which fret a finger
should be? For beginners it usually is, but after a while nobody does
visually control where the fingers should be. IMO for musical theory
it's similar. Btw. IMO music is similar to sex and far away from
astrophysics. Academical rules for astrophysics are good, but I suspect
nobody is using books to get knowledge how to have sex.
Does anybody seriously studies tantra?
PS: Sorry, "Maithuna", since all is one, but we need to differ some
bullshit, as soon as we're searching for a finish speaking. So all isn't
one?!.

Just 2 Cents, since the topic already is solved.
