Learn how to reharmonize dominant chords with sub‑II–V substitutions and upper‑structure voicings so your chords flow and sound like real jazz.
This lesson teaches a practical method for turning dominant chords into sub‑II–V substitutions and building voicings that preserve melody while adding rich color (sharp‑11 upper‑structures and altered tensions). Ariel breaks down examples from "All the Things You Are," shows how to apply the same recipe in a new key, and demonstrates practicing the voicings through all 12 keys. By practicing these reharmonizations and upper‑structure triads, you’ll be able to recognize 2‑5 pathways on the harmony map and apply them instantly in performance.
