I think I finally understand tritone substitutions now that I have seen your succinct video. Thanks!

That McCoy Tyner picture on the wall to the left should be framed. It is Beautiful. Great Vid Ryan.

Inside/outside 🤔🎶🎵🎷

[@martinmarini9848]

Total waste of time without chords being played in the background!!!

[@Steakfinger]

I disagree.

[@Osnosis]

Yes, but you need to be able to hear the substitution as a thing on its own. Maybe we should name it ‘new chord’ progression rather than substitute .

[@Steakfinger]

@@OsnosisIncorrect. The head is what gives the listener the chords and melody. The soloist does what they want. The lack of chords gives the soloist the freedom to substitute.
