Chord Substitutions & Tensions for the Pre Dominant (Part 2 of 6)


Learn a variety of Chord substitution techniques and explore Jazz Tensions on the Piano over the Pre Dominant chord of the Minor tonality. In PART 2 of our 6-part series of Exploring the “Minor Chord Progression”, we focus our attention on the Pre-Dominant (Sub-Dominant) chord which is the iv (minor) i.e G minor and look at various embellishments and substitutions keeping the same melody which we composed in Part 1 consistent throughout the progression. Learn Jazz Tensions (9ths, 11ths, and other colors), Secondary dominants, Tritone substitutions, and more. 00:00 Performance 00:29 Recap of Part 1
