What these pages are

These are not fake-book pages. Each tune is opened at the one place where it actually teaches something — a short, deliberately chosen excerpt of four to eight chords — and that excerpt is analysed properly: the key, a Roman numeral and a harmonic function for every chord, an explanation of each reading in plain language, and how confident that reading is.

They are grouped by the harmonic device each excerpt demonstrates rather than alphabetically, because the device is usually what you came looking for. A tune appears under more than one heading when its chords earn it: the groupings below come from what the analyzer found in the excerpt printed on each page, not from a label typed in by hand.

The complete analysis. Each page analyzes one excerpt. The whole tune — every chord of the form, with its Roman numeral and its ii–V–Is marked on the chart — is in JamShed with the Practice Pass, for 123 of these standards, ready to print.
