The Tritone Substitution is one of the most common harmonic substitutions in jazz. Often utilized in the ii-V-I to increase the level of tension and create harmonic motion, this substitution is something every jazz guitarist should be aware of. This lesson will explain the concept, offer voicings and examples of application swithin the context of a ii-V-I

The tri-tone sub can be confusing at first. But this is absolutely the clearest, most complete explanation of what the tri-tone substitution is and how to use it. I'll refer others to this lesson. Thanks so much Chris!

I must agree with John P. As a 30 veteran teacher(science), I appreciate the attention to the details and pace of delivery. No ego, just thoughtful instruction.

The best lesson on the mechanics and the reasons for tritone substitutions. I had just watched a highly technical and very long video explaining the same and still wasn't quite sure why use them. Your video, Chris, explains the reasons and the mechanics very well.

In just ten minutes, Chris, you just cleared away years of fog in my lame ass brain with your very articulate, concise non-condescending way. I have a brain injury and I still understood this more than any other time I've tackled the topic of Tritones. Hopefully my brain will remember this tomorrow, which is a major part of my injury challenges. I'm trying every day. All the best. 🙂

Thanks explaining what I’ve been doing by ear already, but now with the theory I can move up an octave and see more clearly the voice leading. For instance I played the D minor 7th at the tenth fret , to tri -tone C#9, resolving C major 7th, with the counter motion of D to D# to E on the first string ending at the 12th fret. This is really cool stuff. Thanks for The Roadmap of the fretboard Chris. See you on Patreon.

So to put it simply, A dominant chord played a halfstep before a major chord? For exampel a G#dom before a Gmaj7? So to figure the tritone sub out.. I can just map out that that dom# to Maj7 movement in every chord in the caged positions? right? or am i mssing something here? Thanks Chris!

Yes! That is a nice and easy way to think about it.

Finally, the shortest understandable explanation of TS with plenty of tasty chord variations. Thanks! PS. Prior to 13th chord (in this case G13), interesting transition could be made as well as (root note is on E6): 1) Bm11, A# maj7-5, A7 sus4 ->G13 . or 2) Bm11, A# maj7-5, A7 sus4, Am7, Am6,G#m6+5 ->G13 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gq-KgKRkmL-6iqc.html Cheers, Aleks

Yikes, I hadn't heard the story about the past composers being executed for using the tritone interval, that's terrible! Black Sabbath started their career with The Devils Interval, ha-ha! Another great video clip as usual, thank you.
