Hey All,

This is a video I'm putting out on the tube this weekend, just wanted to drop it here first in case you are interested. I go over one of the most valuable soloing/improvising/writing concepts, which is playing one sound on top of another. Most people call this substituting or something like that, I call them Pretend Chords!

I've got a bunch of Patreon exclusive material where I talk about this concept quite a bit, here are a few highlights:

(Some of these are still in the mirrored view, I apologize in advance. All videos should be reoriented in the next month or so)

(2:22) What's The Point? (4:19) Playing Normally, D minor (6:46) Finding The Actual Key (10:05) Using Other Chords In The Key as Pretend Chords (12:50) Playing a 1 chord -C- over a 2 chord -Dm- (14:40) Playing a 6 chord -Am- over a 2 chord -Dm- (27:22) Playing a 4 chord -F- over a 2 chord -Dm- (31:36) Playing a 3 chord -Em- over a 2 chord -Dm- (34:24) Playing a 5 chord -G- over a 2 chord -Dm- (38:54) Playing a 7 chord -Bm7b5- over a 2 chord -Dm- (41:47) Focus On Smaller Sounds (44:43)
