Allans add9 'chord scale' for Outro section: 33:56

Hey guys! Time to finally finish this track up. Its pretty challenging at times which you can see from the title image. Lots of good info on here with insight how Allan approaches regular triads and upper extension chords.

Plus during the solo, the chords are very free, so I offer some options to what Allan likes to use best. Also it has one of those parts where there's no static chord and he's playing within a key. So I also show the add9 voiced 'chord scale' Allan uses frequently here, and in other songs that have a similar section.

Some of you also might take some issue with some of the chord names. I figured I would add I did not take the bass note into consideration and only focus on the chords. I also tried to give the chord the most straightforward name I can, even if functionally it might not be correct.

Also, let me know what other songs you would like to see! For those that do not know, I have written a book that lists and arranges chords used by Allan. In doing that I have transcribed over 50 of his tunes.
