Easiest, no BS explanation of this that I've found. Most music teachers need overcomplicate this stuff. THANK YOU

Brian Kelly. You Sir, are IMO the best teacher for music in general and guitar in particular on you tube. In fact probably the best i've come across, and I'm no spring chicken. Just wanted to put that out there.

Wow I was learning a chord progression that mentioned and used a tritone chord and I was so confused about it and the brief explanation. Remembering this page, I came here knowing if anyone would made it crystal clear it would be you and that you did ha!! Amazing and a big thank you for that! Excellent explanation! 💯👍

Thanks a lot Brian, Very well explained, I have a good understanding now. choices with which chords I use in progressions and the circle of fifths again, a constant source of information. I love your enthusiasm as far as theory is concerned, reminds me of myself, good to see the response from others too. Cheers..

Hey Brian, thanks for all these lessons. The way I think about tritone substitutions though is a lot simpler. G7 is the chord so the notes we have are G, F, B. Then count up three (tri) tones from the G. That gets you to Db. So the notes you then have are Db, F, B. So a Db7 chord. And that’s it Even more simply count up three tones from the root of the chord your substituting. The note you get to replaces the root

0:54 Tritone Sub is one half step higher than the root chord. So tritone of Cmajor is C#7 8:01 Whats a tritone 12:00

@michaeldematteis3409 4 жыл бұрын

Noticed too,a dominant is the same notes as the diminished 7th degree of a scale.thats why they both pull to the root I recogn

@AbbeyRoadkill1 4 жыл бұрын

@malcolmstar8036 Жыл бұрын

So I can use the chord opposite my dominant 7 on the circle of fifths or the flattened second chord in the scale or find another chord that has the same 3rd and 7th notes as my dominant 7th?

@zombieguitar Жыл бұрын

Yup that is exactly how you find the tritone sub 😁

@anymusic24 4 жыл бұрын

hi Brian, the 2 tritone notes are they not the same as a diminished which also settles back on a 1 chord

@zombieguitar 4 жыл бұрын

Yup, the tritone interval is found in diminshed chords. The reason the G7 resolves to C to nicely is because the 3rd of G is the note 'B', which is 1/2 step below the note 'C'....and the 7th of G7 is the note 'F', which is 1/2 step away from the note 'E'...which is the 3rd of the C major chord. Taking this concept and applying it to all keys...the tritone interval found in the V7 chord resolves beautifully to the root and 3rd of the I chord. So although all diminished chords have a tritone interval, there's one 'best' one that associates with each of the possible "I chords". Make sense?

Why do so many musos have to long wind this explanation… detailed theory of the why and how is ok but they don’t then simply say a half step higher ..it’s like they are being paid to waste oxygen 🤣. Well done Brian

@Morgoth073 4 жыл бұрын

Tritone are awesome because they sound bad. It's call dissonance and the uneasy feeling it create is just perfect for metal...\m/. Dissonance is beautifully ugly ;) But I have a real question. Does the tritone substitution work when you play in other modes other than major or minor. Let say in phrygien?. What about playing in locrien? Knowing there is no 5th in that mode and therefore can't substitute it for its tritone. Thanks

@zombieguitar 4 жыл бұрын

Agreed. They do sound cool. To answer your question, I'd say that the best way to find out is to just try and see if it works for whatever sound you are going for 🤘
