Anytime you see a V7 chord in a jazz song (e.g. G7) you can transpose that V7 chord a tritone up (or down) and play Db7 instead. This sounds great in ii-V-I's (applied to the middle V7 chord), but you can also use it to precede a 'target chord' - so say you're about to play F min 7, then you could precede it with a Gb7. When you change the chords, you also change the scale that's implied - so you'll sometimes need to tweak the melody notes to fit with this new scale. Over V7 chords I always like to play the Lydian-Dominant scale - so over C7 play: C D E F# G A Bb KEY POINTS: 1:04 What Is A Tritone? 2:49 How Tritone Substitution Works 6:21 Applying Tritone Sub to ii-V-I's 8:13 Minor ii-V-I's 9:18 Chromatic Moving Basslines 11:26 Reharmonizing 'Cry Me A River' 16:02 Tweaking Melody Notes 17:47 Final Words
