Wrong notes ARE wrong notes and UNINTENDED notes are just that. The two are not really interchangeable. We'll leave ''free'' jazz out of the argument though.

There are some astute non-players out there who can tell when you hit the one or the other, so don't think for a moment that your audience will not notice. Even the least knowledgable will probably FEEL something is wrong.

Faking it is OK, we have to now and then, but we do so from a bag (a fairly big one, I'd hope) of tried and true phrases and runs.

Of course, the unintended notes, if they work, should be added to the bag.
