Default Do I have the correct understanding on Tech License?

I am considering going for my first ham license, a technician license. I am overwhelmed with information and I just want to be sure I understand correctly which bands I would be able to broadcast VOICE on. As I understand it I can use the following frequencies:
60 Meters USB Only
40 Meters (I am confused about my ability to use this band, HELP)
10 Meters SSB ONLY?
6 Meters
2 Meters
1.25 Meters
70 cm
33 cm
23 cm
Your help in making sure I have the correct understanding is appreciated. Please keep your response in a simplified nature since I am a rank beginner. I am considering buying an Icom 756 PROIII. Thank You!

jhooten pretty much covered it. I will add that there is no prohibition on listening on frequencies outside of your license class.

Default Thank You!

I had mis-interpreted some of the chart information, your responses helped clear up the confusion! I see it clearly now.
