Unfortunately for me I have a love of tight harmony and clusters ala Bill Evans.so it's been a matter of diluting chords down to 3 notes, often on string set 3-1 or 4-2 so as to get that crucial interval of a second in the middle while trying to get enough chord info in there to give the feel of the harmony. Also he appears to use pretty light strings which would be easier on the right hand.and give a clearer separation of voices Did Pasquale have any input from Barry?And re your book, I found the 'Long-Short' way of looking at open vs close voiced chords a helpful peep into the piano player's take on practicalities of voicings.I've always thought it annoying/amusing how we guitarists have to stretch for close voicings, whereas keyboard players have it sort of easy in that dept.And vice versa, that open voicings are often a breeze for us while our keyboard friends have to work a bit more.
