Hi Guys,
Today, we will take a I Vi [VI] ii V V I cadence and re-harmonise it with fusion chord substitutions/slash chords
To begin with, we will make the chord of C Major into a C6/9 voicing that will resonate well on the guitar.
We, will now employ a slash chord for A7. Here, we will move a flattened 5th away and employ an Eb Triad over an E natural bass.
Let’s now exploit the Dm7 chord. For this we will use a 2nd inversion C Major triad over an F bass note. [Dm9 with an 11th in 1st inversion]
Now, let’s take the first Dominant substitution and go a flat 5th away once again. We will employ a Db Triad over a B bass: [as in an altered 1st inversion]
To manipulate this next Dominant chord we will put the flattened 5th [Db] in the bass and exploit a G triad on top:
To complete the sequence we will resolve back to the tonic chord of C Major but colour it with an F# to make it C Maj7#11
In terms of improvisation we can weave in and out of the re-harmonisation. Here, is an example for an improvised line:
