Ah, I know of these as secondary dominants :-) nice lesson

[jakehertzog]

@shredicon86 Groovy! Glad you dig. Secondary and Tritone Subs are closely related. D-7 G7 CMaj7. A7 is secondary dominant to D-7, Eb7 is Tritone sub for A7. Tricky but beautiful stuff. Jazz on, and be well! Thanks for checking me out!

Question - Ok so usually when you do a tri-tone substitution on like G7 for example it becomes Db-7 (ish) ..but can it be a C#-7 instead of Db-7? I know it makes more sense for it to be Db-7 since the chord progressing your showing is going down half a step. But I mean would it be consider correct if I would of put the progression like this? Dmin7 - C#7 - Cmaj7

1:43 - lol the horn outside fits nicely into the CM7

looks like good on theory, but you just talk about some triads and no melody, what about if you better explain how to harmonized a melody.
