chord theory resource?

[Chris Walke]

Wondering if any of you know of a resource for chord theory. Specifically, I'm looking for how to build the extended chords, and how to acceptably abbreviate them.

I'm trying to get to the source, so to speak. I can easily go to the chord-finder webpage and find where to play them on my steel, but I don't just want to know where to find these chords. I want to know why.

Chris, E-mail me at thephotodoctor@mediaone.net
Maybe we can set up some e-mail theory lessons. By the way, I teach at Berklee Colege of Music in Boston.
