Scale-Covering Seventh Pairs


I'm revisiting another old blog post (this one this time) to put together some more chord substitution / superimposition ideas. Of course the same concept can be applied to much more exotic scales but these should get you started.

I would mostly use these as superimpositions -- that is, if the harmony is the central white chord, play either of the black chords as a chord (creating a polychord sound) or as an arpeggio for single-note lines. But there are probably other applications I haven't thought of.







I haven't gone through these with great care so you may find some errors -- keep your eyes peeled. Of course you'll want to work them out in all positions and practice them in all keys and in musical settings, but hopefully this will get you started.

More chord stuff to come!
