Gerald,

Since you are new to the site I suspect you haven't yet read David's explanations of copywrite problems vs providing lead lines with the trellis scores. 

This topic is an on-going bear based on legalities and potential law-suits and sadly,  has nothing to do with music..per se  ( " First, kill all the lawyers.."  is an ancient and honored quotation. )

I hope Dave sees this and sends you relevant explanatory entries from the past...Also, I'm not quite sure as to what you mean by ' large leaps'.

I also play guitar exclusively and I've found that learning to voice a tune using all 6, 5,  4 string chords is not only essential,  this gives one a large set of options that may allow for small or virtually no 'leaps' at all....if you are refering to physical left-hand neck work.

I'm willing to discuss this further off site if need be.  Chas.
