The most interesting subs I used were a D9b5\/F#(no root), also called a D9#11, for the F#m chord, and the line cliche style chromatic descending sequence C#mmaj7\/E &#8211; Cmmaj7\/Eb &#8211; Bm\/D &#8211; C#7 for the usual progression Emaj7 &#8211; C#m7, both in bar 7 of the arrangement. In the Ted Greene book &#8220;Chord Chemistry,&#8221; Ted talks about how to sub the dom9b5 chord extensively as well as many other seemingly obscure chords (for rock guitarists). I analyze this as a bVIIdom7 chord as it is much easier to classify chords using this kind of analysis in order to use them in other keys. As for the line cliche idea, I basically just used chromaticism and some parallelism to create tension to offset the boring one note melody of that bar.<\/p>\n<p>If any of this theory stuff is perplexing or interesting to you, remember that I can teach you about these concepts in great detail and show you how to use them to spice up your own arrangements of songs. Just hit the &#8220;Book Your Lesson Now&#8221; icon at the top right side of the page. I teach people everywhere around the world on Skype and private in person here in North Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I hope you enjoy this and I hope all of you reading this have a fantastic holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>All the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi again everyone, it&#8217;s Jingle Bells Part 2 time.
