SOSTITUZIONE DI TRITONO

Whenever you have a V7 chord, you can always add a iim7 chord before it in your playing.

Same for iim7, if you have iim7 you can always add a V7 after it.

With this concept, you play the original chords in bar 1, then the tritone ii-V sub in bar 2, then
resolve to Imaj7 in bar 3.

The original chords are:

▶️iim7/V7/Imaj7/Imaj7◀️

In the key of C they're

▶️Dm7/G7/Cmaj7/Cmaj7▶️

With the subs, the first step is to put the ii V all in bar 1.

▶️iim7 V7/V7/Imaj7/Imaj7▶️

▶️Dm7 G7/G7/Cmaj7/Cmaj7▶️

Then, you use the tritone sub in bar 2.

▶️ iim7 V7/bII7/Imaj7/Imaj7▶️

▶️Dm7 G7/Db7/Cmaj7/Cmaj7▶️

Lastly you play the related iim7 for the tritone sub.

▶️ iim7 V7/bvim7 bII7/Imaj7/Imaj7▶️

▶️Dm7 G7/Abm7 Db7/Cmaj7/Cmaj7▶️

You can use this concept over any ii V I in your comping or soloing.

So, if you ever have ii V I, you can play ii V/bvi bII/I instead to create tension and release in your comping
and soloing.

Now that you know the theory, time to take this concept to the guitar.

Here are the goals for each level of development. 🥅

✔️Level 1 - Pick 1 pattern and play it on your own.

✔️Level 2 - Play all 4 patterns over the backing track.

✔️Level 3 - Solo with the shapes over the track, each sub must line up in the part of the bar where it's
written.
