..4 note voicings of 7th chords, with four inversions for each type of chord. These chords are the foundation of chordal solos, which was Joe's big thing. They can be tough to wrap your fingers around when first learning them, esp if you only used to bar voicings, but in the long run they are much easier to move between.
