In this guitar lesson I will show you how to use a Tritone Chord Substitution. There is a whole lot more info on the web site to help you with this - it'sa bit of head strain, but with a little study you will probably find it quite fun to use.

Taught by Justin Sandercoe.

Full support at the justinguitar web site where you will find hundreds of lessons on a wide range of subjects, and all the scales and chords that you will ever need! There is a great forum too to get help, no matter what the problem.

And it is all totally free, no bull. No sample lessons, no memberships, no free ebook. Just tons of great lessons :)

To get help with this lesson (and for further info and tabs), find the Lesson ID in the video title (like ST-667 or whatever) and then look it up on the Lesson Index page of justinguitar.com

Have fun :)

  • I love that golden rule

  • @Thisaintjonas The note he's leaving out is the fifth. The most important notes of a chord are the root, the 7th and the 3rd. Those are the notes that really define the chord.

  • Great explanation! I play bass and I wanted to show a beginner guitarist friend of mine what a tritone sub is and how it works (of course I was showing him on bass guitar...didn't work out so well). Your video is probably the clearest explanation of tritone subs for guitarists on youtube!

  • Dear Justin all this stuff is brilliant and is there a possibility that you can show us how to solo using "swing feel"..bcs i find that a bit confusing tks.

  • "If it sounds good, it is good, and if it sounds shit, it is shit."

  • Thnks for the lesson Justin.But i got a question at 4:39 when showing the chords y did u use only 3 notes leavin 1 out since 7 chords are 4 notes?

  • well explained Justin

    interesting fingering on the m7s, it suits well for the movement

  • Hey dude you play great, I was having a difficult time understanding tritone subs.From your video I definetly have a better understanding though I'm not quite there yet.I am trying to open up some new doors in my playing, Incorporating passing notes trying substitutions, I have been working out tunes from the real book for years but have only kept it simple, tune up 2-51 changes playing and changing keys in one position, and some songs off the great kind of blue.looking forward to your videos
