Here’s a video of Brian making the Substitution really easy and chatting about the passing tone. A great quick tip for Jazz/Blues/Rockabilly fans.

I've always fancied that passing tone. It is fairly simple but if you try and work it into modes you will get lost because it doesn't matter if you don't stay in the key.
So in a key, you have 8 notes. If you use 4 chords, you have the semi-tone either side of each root (or 3rd or 5th if you like etc) which gives you so many more to choose from..

Very true, and in truth, I do tend to hover on the 5th ?

Nice thread Dave. I enjoyed that and learned from it.
Of late, i've been messing around with a Cmaj7 - Am7 - Dm7 - Gmaj7, but i tend to go through the notes B,C,E & G before reaching Dm7.
Another one i'm having fun with is Bbmaj9 - Ebmaj7 - Gm7 - F7sus (resolving in F7)

Nice vid - I love Brian's stuff... he's a real cat.
Swing by Boo Radley's tomorrow night and hear Renesongs get his Setzer on...

As Brian says in the video, lots of the serious Jazz Cats get very technical with the substitutions, but I find that it just makes a fortune of sense when playing some classic blues and good ol’ fashion Rock N’ Roll.
I use quite a bit of it in one of my tracks going from the Eadd9 to the A, back to the Eadd9 to the B to the G and all the twiddle bits in between!
