Playing both guitar, keyboards and trumpet/flugelhorn in session work for years (long story short, when I found out the union allowed mo' money for "multi-instrumentalist" I even bought finger cymbals...) I soon picked up on a lot of the things that guitarists say and do about music theory and other musical terms that apply only to the thinking of guitar players. And then when I tried my hand at bigband arranging and composing, found and learned much more as the years slipped by. My viewpoint is that if I can put something on my chart that makes the performance *easier* to interpret for each musician then I've done my job well. And since Fake Chording is an evolving nomenclature and not a dead language, I can live with that.
