Jazz piano lesson 16: Tritone Substitution

Jazz piano lesson 16 of my online video course, Learn Jazz Piano, is all about tritone substitution.

I start by showing you how diminished scales weave through dominant 7th chords and how you can solo over 8 chords using just 1 diminished scale.This leads us to tritone substitution: replacing one 7th chord with another.

The tritone, also known as the devil’s interval, is the key to unlocking a new and more advanced way of soloing.
