LESSON NOTES:
In this lesson I show you my favorite reharmonization technique - Tritone Substitution.

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
