Remembering this page, I came here knowing if anyone would made it crystal clear it would be you and that you did ha!! Amazing and a big thank you for that! Excellent explanation! 💯👍

Hey Brian, thanks for all these lessons. The way I think about tritone substitutions though is a lot simpler. G7 is the chord so the notes we have are G, F, B. Then count up three (tri) tones from the G. That gets you to Db. So the notes you then have are Db, F, B. So a Db7 chord. And that’s it Even more simply count up three tones from the root of the chord your substituting. The note you get to replaces the root

So I can use the chord opposite my dominant 7 on the circle of fifths or the flattened second chord in the scale or find another chord that has the same 3rd and 7th notes as my dominant 7th?

Yup that is exactly how you find the tritone sub 😁

hi Brian, the 2 tritone notes are they not the same as a diminished which also settles back on a 1 chord
@zombieguitar4 жыл бұрын
Yup, the tritone interval is found in diminshed chords. The reason the G7 resolves to C to nicely is because the 3rd of G is the note 'B', which is 1/2 step below the note 'C'....and the 7th of G7 is the note 'F', which is 1/2 step away from the note 'E'...which is the 3rd of the C major chord. Taking this concept and applying it to all keys...the tritone interval found in the V7 chord resolves beautifully to the root and 3rd of the I chord. So although all diminished chords have a tritone interval, there's one 'best' one that associates with each of the possible "I chords". Make sense?

@Morgoth0734 жыл бұрын
Tritone are awesome because they sound bad. It's call dissonance and the uneasy feeling it create is just perfect for metal...\m/. Dissonance is beautifully ugly ;) But I have a real question. Does the tritone substitution work when you play in other modes other than major or minor. Let say in phrygien?. What about playing in locrien? Knowing there is no 5th in that mode and therefore can't substitute it for its tritone. Thanks
@zombieguitar4 жыл бұрын
Agreed. They do sound cool. To answer your question, I'd say that the best way to find out is to just try and see if it works for whatever sound you are going for 🤘
