All right guys, lets see if you can help me out.
I love the jazz combo setting, and I am an "ImprovBeast" but to become "ImprovMaster" someday I have a few questions.
Alright, here it is.... I am reading a biography on Miles "Milestones". In the chapter where him and coltrane meet up the author talks about chord substitutions. Is it as simple as just substituting the tonic with a tri-tone, or somthing like that, or is there more to it! The book made it sound as if Coltrane was really into substituting new scales on to exgisting chord progressins, but every thing I here about substituitions seem to say that that isn't the case.
:?
Now I've been using the corect Scale/Chords but starting and ending in hip places like 7ths, 9ths, flat 5's, etc. It sounds good and I really like it, but I would like my solos to feel "further out" sometimes.
So what I really want to know is: Are there scales that one can substitute over exgisting progressions that sound hip? If so, can you give me some examples? I would also like if anyone could point me in the direction of a good resorce for this.
Thanks guys,
Mario
