    The document discusses how the tritone substitution can be used as a substitute for a dominant 7th chord with an added 5th due to their enharmonic equivalence. Specifically, a G7+5 chord can be substituted with a D-7 chord. While improvising, the alterations are often ignored. The tritone substitution usually resolves down a half step but can also resolve down a perfect fifth. It is also often combined with fundamental chords in a progression. The document cautions that the tritone substitution and dominant 7th with an added 5th are enharmonic but differ with the 9th extension, so the Ñ9 should be avoided over a ii7 to I major progression.

    When applied to the x9 extension chord the Tritone Sub can be a substitute for the x7+5 due to
    the enharmonic 9th.

    When improvising, these alterations are often disregarded.


    The Tritone Sub usually moves down 1/2 step BUT may also move down P5 to its Circle

    Often mixed with Fundamental Chord.

    The Tritone Sub & x75 are enharmonic - difference is apparent only with the 9th extension avoid using the 9 extension on IIx7 to I Maj progression: let your ear be final judge.
