Sorry to disagree. I have complied and released 29 fake disks and am working on two more to be released early next year. All but one were entered using standard off-the-shelf fake books published by companies like Hal Leonard, Warner Brothers, Alfred, etc., and quite a few of the songs could not be played correctly without expanding them as they had more than one chord per beat.

Even many simple chord progressions like these publicdomain ones cannot be done without EXPANDED styles (please excuse the use of the lame sounding computer sound card for the voices). There are other, better examples, but PG Music asks that we do not put any copyrighted chord progressions in this forum, so these public domain demos will have to do:

I don't think the examples of having one chord per half beat in any of these makes a melody, and to get a chord on any beat and the upbeat before that same beat you simply can't do it without an expanded style.
