  • Chord Substitution – Part 1 Chord Construction (Formulas) & Substitution Ted Greene – 1973, November 16
    Chord Substitution – Part 1 Chord Construction (Formulas) & Substitution Ted Greene – 1973, November 16 Your musical life will be much easier if you look for systems and ways to organize large clumps of knowledge into more easily digestible forms. The idea of chord construction can be simply broken down into 3 groups of sound, each of which has its own subdivisions; these groups are based on three main chords: the MAJOR chord, the MINOR chord, and the DOMINANT 7th chord As you know by now, chord construction can be, and is most often viewed in relation to major scales. For instance, any major chord is built by combining the 1, 3, and 5 (Root, 3rd and 5th tones) of its own major scale — like a G major chord has the notes G, B, and D which are the 1, 3, and 5 of the G major scale. With this in mind, here is a listing of the most common chords in the three categories: Don’t let this list frighten you. With patience you will know all these before too long. The major, minor, and dominant 7th chords will be referred to as the parent chords of the three families of sound; all other chords are called extensions of these. Not all notes need be played in most chords. Quite often, the 5th or root are left out; sometimes both; also the 3rd is omitted occasionally. However, rather than trying to build these chords on your own, you should save the time and energy by learning the chords that have already been worked out for you on the Essential Chords Lists and analyzing these chords to spot the above principles at work.

  • Extending Chord Selection in Diatonic Major / Minor Keys
    Extending Chord Selection in Diatonic Major / Minor Keys This chart demonstrates the full range of chords available in a given major or minor key using the technique of tonicisation (temporarily establishing an alternative tone centre within the key – a “mini-modulation” for a short duration). This technique is used extensively in Jazz and Classical music to expand the range of the major/minor system to it’s utmost. The chart below can be used to facilitate composition and reharmonisation, both in the considered and ad-hoc sense s(e.g. scoring a composition/arrangement vs spontaneous chord substitution in Jazz Improvisation). This harmonic technique can be expanded to any genre! The following classes (functions) of additional chords are used: 1. Secondary Dominants and their tritone substitutes (“V” & “bII” function) e.g. D7 (Secondary Dominant) and Ab7 (Tritone Substitute), resolving to G in key of C major 2. Secondary Supertonics (“iim7 & ii0/7” function) e.g. F#m7 to resolve to B7 to Em in key of C 3. Secondary Subdominants (“IV & iv function) also known as borrowed chords – “borrowed” from the key’s parallel major/ minor scale counterpart) e.g. Fm in key of C or F in key of C minor Scale Degree Names in Major Key Scale Degree Names in Minor Key I Tonic i Tonic ii Supertonic ii Supertonic iii Mediant bIII Mediant IV Subdominant iv/IV Subdominant V Dominant v/V Dominant vi Submediant bVI/vi Submediant bVII Subtonic vii Leading Note vii Leading Note C Major F /Fm G/Gm A/Am B/Bm C/Cm D/Dm E/Em Secondary Subdominants (IV) Dm7 Em7 F#m7 Gm7

  • Essential Single Octave Arpeggios
    TERENCE WRIGHT GUITAR Jazz Guitarist - Music Educator - Composer http://terencewrightguitar.com Essential Single Octave Arpeggios In order to get the most out of single octave arpeggios on the guitar, it is important to understand why they are played the way they are. In a seventh chord, there are four unique notes: Root – third – fifth – seventh Depending on the type of seventh chord, the third, fifth and seventh may be altered. Keeping in mind that there are four notes in a given seventh chord and arpeggio, we can then take a look at the possible ways they can be played. This lesson will cover some of the more practical ways of performing seventh chord arpeggios. Due to playability and sound, seventh chord arpeggios played over three strings are far more widely used than others. This lesson will go into detail about the three ways to perform single octave arpeggios over three strings. If you are curious about lesser known seventh chord arpeggio approaches, such as arpeggios played over 1, 2 or 4 strings, check out the Approaches to Arpeggios page in the Jazz Guitar Resource Library. First lets take a look at the different options for playing arpeggios over three strings: 2-1-1 Arpeggio - The 2-1-1 stands for the distribution of notes across the guitar. The 2 means that you will be playing 2 notes on the string that the given arpeggio begins on, followed by 1 note on the next highest string, and 1 note on the next highest string after that. 1-2-1 Arpeggio - The numbers here represent the same idea as the previous arpeggio, but the distribution is slightly different.

  • Chord Substitution – Part 3 Ted Greene – 1973, November 20
    Chord Substitution – Part 3 Ted Greene – 1973, November 20 The “blues” effect can be obtained by replacing any I or IV triad with a dominant 7th type chord (that is, one whose construction is based on the dominant 7th chord. Example: for C F C try the following: I IV I The following listings are chords on I & IV that create the blues effect: I: Group 1 and 2, 7#9 IV: Group 1 and 2, 7#9, 9b5, #11, 7b5, 13#11, 7#9b5 _____________________________________________________________________ Tonicization (Back-cycling, Temporary Modulation, Secondary Dominants Cycle of 4ths) Any chord may be treated as a temporary tonic and preceded with its V(7). Example: Given A F#m D A Beats or counts: / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / You might play: A C#7 F#m A7 D E7 A / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Or: A C#7 F#m A7 D E7 A / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Because of the possibility of extension substitution, you could have something like the following: A∆7 C#7#9 F#m7 A13 D/9 E7/6 A∆9 (see below) Examples: Chord Substitution (part 3) Ted Greene, 1973‐11‐20 page 2 This process is called tonicization or back-cycling (because you are ‘backing up” in the cycle of 4ths to add the V7 chord. This will become clear soon). The above 7th type of chords are all functioning as V7’s, right? Any 7th type chord of this nature is called a secondary dominant if it is on any degree other than the V of the home key. Also these type of progressions are often thought of as temporary modulations to new keys: like in the above, there were temporary modulations to the keys of F#m and D.

  • Chord Substitutions Work in a Variety of Musical Situations and Will Not Clash with What the Other Musicians Are Playing
    The following chord substitutions work in a variety of musical situations and will not clash with what the other musicians are playing. Major to Major 2: For any major chord, substitute a major 2 chord to get a contemporary Pop sound.This chord substitution for major chords works great for creating pop or contemporary sounding progressions, and it works in practically every musical context that a major chord would be used. Minor 7th to Minor 11th: For any minor 7th chord, substitute a minor 11th chord to get a contemporary Pop sound. This chord substitution for minor chords gives minor chords an added depth and richness. It works in almost every musical context where a minor chord is used, so let your ear be your guide for the occasional time it might not work. Cm7 to Ebmaj7: For any minor 7th chord, substitute a major 7th built on the 3rd in a jazz setting. This chord substitution for minor chords is very useful in a jazz setting when soloing or playing rhythm. Using the major 7th substitution in a minor context gives the minor chord the sound of a much more complex minor 9th chord. As before, let your ear be your guide as to when it works best. This chord substitution is particularly helpful when soloing because it immediately gives you many moreoptions to play over a particular chord progression. For example, over a Cm7 chord, you could play an Ebmaj7 arpeggio or chord. Dominant 7th to Min7(b5): For any dominant 7th chord, substitute a min7(b5) chord built on the 3rd in a jazz setting.

  • Chord Identities and Similarities
    CHORD IDENTITIES AND SIMILARITIES Chords with Similar Names By Frank Novotny / A Shark Production Introduction A few years ago, Robert Denman and I wrote this article for WholeNote.com. We have received some nice comments on this and I decided to put this into a small booklet. Learning jazz chords can often be frustrating, as some chords have more than one name. Robert Denman and myself have put together a list of chords that have the same name. This list will provide the reader with the names of the chords sharing the same tones and a brief description of how they are related in the case of similarities. We hope that this list will be of benefit to you. While this material is aimed at the jazz guitarist, these voicings can be use in all types of music. These chords add interest and can change to mood of a song. I have not provided any chord charts, in an effort to keep the size to a minimum.There are many books on the market and many chord charts on the Internet that can be of help (here’s one on Jazzguitar.be). I would suggest that you look into books like “Chord Chemistry”or a Joe Pass book on chords. I would also suggest that you learn the CAGED System of chords. Again the Internet has many sites with this information.
