Permutation ??

[Sakkaku]

Hi guys, it's Sakkaku - the guitar phrasology noob, back with another ace question.

What is a permutation? I've seen the word, but never had an explanation... all articles I've read assume the reader knows what a 'permutation' is.

I would give you my version of what I THINK it MIGHT be, but to save time, I'll let you tell me.

Thanks.

James, your words truly touched my heart right then. Thank you for your detailed explanation.

But I guess you understood what he was trying to say, right ?

Eric - Yes I understood. It probably made more sense than if someone tried to explain it in words. Well done James, well done. Ps. Did you get my apology thread ? In General Chat ?
