Here's a simple challenge to all subscribers

Compose a progression for Bob Hope's theme song,  ' Thanks for the Memories' ..using the least number of cheap diminished-7th chord transitions.

With guitar, I start with a E7sus at the word   'Thanks.....',  go toE6 and head out from there.    Soon, I run into the need for minor 6ths and 7th#5ths as I work my way up up the neck...always ascending per the vocal line.

I'm curious as to what other arrangements you may conjure.  Charles.
