Great tutorial. It helped me Michael. Most 'net "teachers" simply show off their skills. You actually teach, thank you.

The few self-proclaimed music professors that are posting here are either wrong or annoying or both. You gave us a new way to look at tritone use and chord construction. Thanks for the vid.

@israelsprince

You are altering the C chord! and its a dominant 7th chord! it dissolves to F. Like playing Db triad over C tritone is. C7/11(b13/b9). A chord with an alteration like b9 always wants to dissolve, that naturally goes down a fifth or up a fourth to the I (tonic) (wether you look at it). When it wants to dissolve its function is dominant = V

so have i go tthis right ? the 3rd note of a major scale as normal and the flattened 7th note of the same major scale....those 2 notes .... is/are in effect the tritone of that scale?

[MooPotPie]

They all work beautifully with the possible exception of d minor over the tritone due to the clash of e with f, and a with b-flat. Great lesson!

I'm an advanced player and understand the extended chords in their formal harmonic names. And, I can completely see the value at looking at the same chords in a different light as it opens you up to new possibilites of understanding. I don't know why anyone would have a problem with this approach. Thanks for sharing, israelsprince! You're a talented teacher.
