Tuxguitar -  set your tuning, click insert chord button, select the key and chord type, play whichever of the 2 dozen results that best suits the song voicing.

Free and does a couple of other things you might find useful at some point. :D

I KNEW there was a buncha' knowledge and lore out there if we could just tap into it. Thanks to Brian and Scruggy for inspiring some of the old hands to chip in their wisdom.

Phrygian Kid: Yep! I only use the slant for a quick slide into a "sweet" major triad. Sounds like 3 neighbor tones. Half of the tritone is way sharp, but it's already moving in the upward direction so who really cares.

Patrick: I take your point about leaving the 3rd out of the V7 chord and losing the tritone resolution. The example I gave Brian was intended to be the most difficult one I could think of--probably NOT the most effective (now that I think about it.) I also agree that JS Bach was not above leaving out 3rds when he had to in order to make his fugue subjects work but in the pre-equal temperament days his tritones may have sounded so bad that he was glad to be rid of their sound in some situations.

Robert: I gotta' try this tuxguitar thing. Looks like potential for all sorts of mischief.

All: Thanks for the feedback. We've probably scared Brian (who was just looking for the D7 chord, after all), but I'm delighted to be able to provoke discussion at this level. Profound apologies to Brian for totally hijacking his discussion!
