How to Play Tritone Substitutions (AND WHY YOU SHOULD CARE!)

luv tha whistle!

thank you! very clear and simple; desmystified a lot of things I saw in other videos; honest and insightful explanation!!

You always point out very interesting things!!!! Great video lesson!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

This is gold, man! Lol

Amazimg lesson

Great explanations! now I can full-time understand tritone subs! Thank you very much.

Mind blown. I'm SO using these all over the frikkin place now.

123 idiots 😉

let me ask you one thing... .if my chord is G7(b9) .. the tritone move to D and Ab instead B and F ??? I was reading a book n say the tritone of the chord G7 are the same as B° so it confuse me... Can you help me please?

Thanks very much for this video. In the last section, you said you were playing a progression that goes between F & C, but then you start talking about G and its tritone sub. I found this a bit confusing. Are you in the key of C, and first adding the dominant V7 (G7) into the two-chord progression, then using a tritone sub (Db7) for the dominant (G7)? By the way, another very useful tip I have come across is to think of tritone subs as part of a ii-V7-I where the the tritone sub is on the V7 and simply walks chromatically down from the ii to the I. In other words, Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 would become Dm7 Db7 Cmaj7. I find it easier to figure out the tritone this way: If I see the ii going to a V7, I go a half-step down from the ii and resolve to the I another half-step down.

Thank you for this. even though I know about this for a while now, I really like how you presented it compared to the the other "Definitive Tritone Guide" from some other loud you tubers. This is what I point students to listen and watch. My experience is when they see this video they get it right away since no one is "shouting" the concepts.

Came back to this video 3 years later and took away a whole different lesson - thank you!

Awesome explanation. Loved the part where the kept the chord but played the tritone scale over it. How does that work? What scale do I use? D flat major scale? By the way, whistling over this and then changing the melody blew my mind

I really enjoyed this and your other videos. Superb explanation of tritone substitutions. I am a tenor sax player and find pianists and guitarists explain music theory in a different light when compared to sax players. You are a great teacher; explaining the concepts clearly, slowly and concisely. I can tell you WANT musicians to improve themselves! The sax is a melody instrument but still music theory helps me every day in the practice shed!

You live long ❤️

Well done good job

Thanks a lot

Thank you Sir.

Use computer to copy the keys you're pressing

a video of great value!

👏

Love you much

Please make more tutorial about jazz Bebop Piano...thanks

I have Leant lots thank you for the lessons

Hi, the name being "Tritone" (3 tones), why don't we simply define it with 3 FULL TONES interval, instead of 6 halftones??

I loved the sound of soloing in Db over G 👍

A completely practical and incredibly well taught explanation free of needless jargon or breakneck speed. Many thanks.

Thank you for your explanation, it was wonderful and make me understand a lot about tritone substitutions and it usage. Thank you.

Your explanations are so clear. Thanks.

It is basically a Neapolitan and has the same feel, at least in terms of classical, tonal harmony.

Thank you very much for your explanation and sharing.

So a tritone sub simply is the approaching of any chord from above by a semitone?? From Db down to C..
Thnx bro❤

This was extremely helpful I knew there was a way to simplify these complicated cords 3rd and the 7th!

Why are there an Eb and a G in Db7? Isn’t that Db F Ab B?

This initial approach you showed with the dominant shell voicing makes so much sense now. I always thought when analyzing old blues pieces that artists would just use dominant shell voicings descending chromatically , but in fact they are just playing the 1-4-5 blues progression with the Triton sub.

your whistling is pretty decent, do you use it as a tool when composing?

You make it so simple to understand. Thank you! ❤

Luv how this dude teaches. 1 of YTs best

Best explanation I’ve seen, thanks !

Is it correct to say that a tritone sub is just replacing the dominant chord with a chord that is half step up from the target chord?

Thanks! I've never understood this concept until now. Great explanation.

Great explanation, thanks

You WAY overcomplicated this

i dask

Excellent Class...Thank you Sir...

At last someone who explains! Thank youuu

Were you appreciating on d flat mixolydian or major?
