Chord substitutions are a great way for a guitarist to get an immediate change in the sound of his chords and soloing. With them, you can instantly change a bland chord progression into a radio-worthy pop guitar part. Or perhaps you could transform a jazz solo over 8 bars of boring chords into a wonderful display of rich harmonies by simply adjusting a few of the chords in your mind.
This lesson covers…
• 5 Helpful Chord Substitutions
• Chord Substitutions for Pop
• Chord Substitutions for Jazz
• Creative Chord Forms
• Increased Soloing Possibilities
Using the chord substitutions, you can create incredibly complex sounds that are relatively easy to play and understand. Grab your guitar and let’s get started! - Steve Krenz
