jazz chord substitution
chord substitution concepts Harmonic substitution is simply about replacing one chordal sound with another, or as I need to think of it, as one color for another. Whether it is in the written harmony from sheet music or the harmony implied by the melody, the theoretical concepts behind chord substitution becomes "search" tools for the learner. The coolness here is that we can create different shades of color, allowing for a variety of ways to blend the melody and harmony of a song together. Through chord substitution we can create different pathways to the same emotional, tonal and artistic destinations. We can disguise our artistic directions by changing traditional harmonic motions to create new twists and shades of emotions in the music. Theory / practice. Stylistically, substituting harmonic elements is not something that folk players or the rockers tend to do, although changing the color of chords in these two styles is not uncommon. Chord type. Tonic chord substitutions. Cool?

I Got Rhythm! | My Piano Riffs
Hmm…the blog post title sounds like a mashup of my two favorite musical elements! Well, it is…but leaning more towards the rhythmic aspects of when and where chords move. In other words, harmonic rhythm refers to the rate of chord change or how often one chord progresses to another. Most songs or compositions are written in a form in which the total number of bars is divisible by two. This torch song has a classic A-A-B-C form, where each letter represents an 8-bar phrase. This is why it is common to see II-V-I progressions that fall on a 4-bar “Strong-Weak-Strong-Weak” phrase. Examples from “Autumn Leaves” are the following progressions: Ami7/// D7/// Gma7/// //// and F#mi7(b5)/// B7/// Emi/// ////. This principle also holds true when the phrase breaks down to a basic 2-bar unit. Two-bar phrase examples from “Blue Moon” are the following progressions: Fmi7/ Bb7/ Eb/// in Line 5 and Abmi7/Db7/ Gb/// in Line 6. This applies to all contemporary music.

Jazz Chord Progressions - II-V-I with 7/9/13 chords
Home » Piano Chords » Jazz Chord Progressions - II-V-I With Extensions During the past three lessons we started to talk about extensions. Now that we know how to form jazz chords I'd like us to go back to the II-V-I chord progression and see how to play it as a jazzy chord progression. We'll start with Looking at this image. This picture shows us the II-V-I Jazz Chord progression in C major with only three voices. Now let's have a look at the right hand. The voice leading in the jazz chord progression goes as follows. If you'll look at the second part of the jazz chord progression where G7 is moving to Cmaj7 you'll notice that B which played an active role in the first part is now playing a passive role when it changes functionality from the 3rd of G7 to the major 7th of Cnaj7 without moving at all. In the second chord inversion same applies only the lower voice is playing the active role first. On top of the skeleTone we're going to address the extensions.
