Questionable Bass Theory Poster - What Do You Think?

The chart specifically says “Jazz” chord progressions. ii/V/I. Not common in Jazz without the 7. I approach a seventh chord differently than a triad. Especially when soloing.

True, not common in jazz without the 7. But it seems clear that that part of the chart is attempting to talk about progressions at their most basic functional level--ie, the triadic. Which I'd say is legit, if, well, basic. (Bass-ic?) And soloing is probably a bit beyond where this chart is at anyway.;)

To stop staring at the tall cylindrical grayish brown things in front of us for a moment, stepping back so that we can see the forest; what is the actual function of this thing? If it was a poster of a Roger Dean illustration, would we really be discussing the ability or inability of a vessel with sails to operate in the vacuum of space?

1. Not wrong. Assume most read treble clef seems like a pretty standard assumption.
2. Yeah, it's wrong.
3. I don't think it's wrong, but honestly, don't care.

Bonus: in the chord name/formula section, Dom 7 Sus 4 shows the wrong formula.

You don't need to burn it in a sacred ritual but I wouldn't have bought it either.

Thanks for the bonus, that's the exact sort of keen eyed help I was hoping for here

No idea what this means. Sounds cool though . It's honestly just a reference for scales and a few other bits so it's in front of me, which I think it pretty much does (apart from the unquestionably wrong bits, not the bits that some folk disagree with on some deeper level that I'm clearly not at yet). It's not intended as a teaching tool as such for me, just a reference.

I mean, it's a poster. Just a poster. Definitely not a teaching tool, if it's a reference, it's a bad one. It's just something to hang on the wall as some token to define the space it's displayed in as some kind of music person's space.
