I've made a few corrections here. They appear in parenthesis (I realize that this is generally the notation for a bass tone within a chord, but I don't know of the way you're supposed to show corrections, and I don't want to simply delete Scott's work) next to Scott's original chords. Thank you for taking the time to do this Scott! >suggestions, or criticisms are appreciated.
