Fwd: [Harp-L] dim. half whole

["Winslow Yerxa" <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tom - 

This is one of the classic scale substitutions in jazz. Not only can 
you play this scale over a dominant 7th chord (the 9th, if included, is 
usually lowered to accord with the scale), you can also derive whole 
sequences of chord substitutions played either as chords or 
arpeggiated. The obvious device of spacing the suqence by minor thirds 
or tritones can often be heard.

I wrote a series of articles for harp-l on different substitute scales 
over dominant chords a few yearts back; this was one of them. You can 
probably find them in the archives.
