Jazz Guitar Lessons: TRITONE SUBSTITUTIONS EXPLAINED

[@zoloslong8424]

I always enjoy Marc's videos tremendously, even if I do not get to apply the material in practice - my rock band is "afraid" of jazz... thanks, Marc!

[@jazzguitar]

Thank you! Lessons you learn here can be applied to your music one way or another :)

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

Briliantly explained... i've started with dim chords and secondary doms and now i want more options tritonesub fits the bill! Love the journey not the destination... is my musical motto!

[@jazzguitar]

More options, more fun! :)

[@colink4823]

First time I've understood tritone substitution. Thanks

[@jazzguitar]

That's great to hear!

[@arvh1952]

Wow Marc.. you laid this down so beautifully. Incredible talent mixed with great communication makes the perfect teacher .. that you are. The last bit .. scales and arpeggios was so cool. Thank you so much for this .

[@jazzguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much :)

Carol Kaye told me to never say tritone sub but call it the flat V sub (of the V). She said I’d get kicked off the bandstand if I said tritone. Hoping to hook up with you soon, Marc!

[@jazzguitar]

Ah yes! That's one way to see it. Flat five. Sharp four. Tritone. They all mean the same thing :)

Hi Marc, Very Nice video and beautiful new (?) Guitar!

[@jazzguitar]

Thank you!

[@vincenzofiorentini8002]

Superclear as usual! Question: what's the weight of your strandberg? (Nice, btw)

[@jazzguitar]

According to the manufacturer, about 2.3kg :)

[@Nomenaguitar]

Many thanks

[@jazzguitar]

Yes it does! Bbm7(b5) to Bb7 to Am For sure :)

[@stevejohnston1331]

@@jazzguitar roger wilco on that , thanks

[@michaelzinna6536]

So basically it’s just an alternative flat II chord voicing which would always be dominant.
