Bebop Practice with Tritone Substitution - 12 Keys
- Tom G.

This is basically a 4-bar ii-V-I exercise in all 12 keys with a #I7 substituted for the V chord.

Writing out a progression in all keys is a good exercise in itself.
Be sure to check out the practice setting (gradation hat icon).
It will automatically shift/transpose your chart (or looped section) up or down the interval you choose each cycle.
You can write just one short sequence and automatically step up or down through all 12 keys.
Remember to turn practice mode OFF when done using it.

Hi.
helpful hint - there's a ton of stuff like that here already - browse more, download more, people have uploaded exercises for years (and yes, all kinds of II-V's...).

More meaningfully - technically speaking, the correct harmonic function name for the substitution chord would be IIb7,
Here's why:
the II (SUBDOMINANT family) pushes harmonically to the V - DOMINANT - which in turn pushes to the TONIC.
By substituting the DOMINANT, you should still have a chord that is different from the TONIC because a chord doesn't push to itself.
Ergo, II-IIb-I (though of course enharmonic considerations are always valid).
Plus, from a playing perspective, it's easier/more musical to think of/consider a different chord for a resolution (DOM -> TON).

Happy music!

Random chord generator

Random Chord Generator - Wang Peng

for some time I’ve been looking for a simple way to generate random chords, so I can practice the same material in all 12 keys and across the entire fretboard. Since I never really found something that did exactly what I needed, I decided to build it myself, and this is it: Jazz Chord Trainer...

Random chord progression generator - Zach Lapidus

Hey everyone, thought some people here might find this useful -- I made a website that generates random "standards" and chord progression forms for you to practice improvising on and lets you import it directly into iRealPro. http://www.zachlapidus.com/standard-o-matic Please let me know if...
