Unless you make it a Bdim/G or just let the bass player take the G. But I lazily rely on Viz to set things straight, as I’m still at the stage where I understand most of what I hear but don’t fully speak the language myself.Īnd you’re right, substitution is the better word for it. I’m anticipating, but not actively seeking, that aha moment as I plug the first semitone is the one itself, if that makes sense. But when a mode name gets married to a specific chord, I go cross eyed. I get chord tones and how scale can be used to structure different triads and voice leading options. That’s the part of theory that I really haven’t looked at yet, it still kinda overwhelms me. (You can also think Eaug and Fdim7 if that’s easier) The final frontier of this kind of idea is also fairly powerful - you can play any triad that contains at least one diatonic note from a given chord over that chord (so for example on an F major 7 you can play any triad that contains at least one of F, G, A C or E) as it will contain one chord tone and then two other notes that are usually upper extensions.Īnd because these arpeggios have repeating patterns across the strings and up theFretboard it means you can play easy awesome phrygian dominant licks over the E, before resolving to the A minor. This will let you explore every possibility of triads over bass notes.Īnother cool thing about this way of thinking - in your example you have an Am triad over an F bass to give an F major 7 chord - if you move the triad to the next diatonic triad down in the F major scale but keep the F in the bass, you get a new chord containing upper extensions of the F major 7 (in this case it will now be a G minor triad, which gives you a G, Bb and D so the 9th, 11th and 13th of F major) - these are interesting chords that miss the 3rd and 7th so they sound very ambiguous. A cool thing to do to explore this idea as fully as possible (but a bit more abstract and less immediately useful) is to take any triad (let's say Am, as in your example) and then work through the chromatic scale starting from A# putting every possible note in the bass.
