Step Up Your Soul With A Tritone Sub

Leading to the IV chord with a tritone substitution is one of the quickest ways I know of to sound like a legit gospel/soul piano player. Check it out with me!

I'm starting to get addicted to your videos Aimee. I've been playing piano for almost 50 years now, and still learn something new each day.

Your one of my top 5 favorite music theory educators Aimee. I also enjoy the masterful and patient teaching styles of:
Rick Beato
David Bennett
Michael New
Andy's Guitar
Scott's Bass

I've seen lots of videos on youtube about TT subs...yours is by far the best! I've heard this sound before, but never thought to try using it to go to a IV...

Easiest way to remember where your Tritone sub is, is a half tone above your target. Chord. Easiest way I've found anyway. :)

Great video.

I always enjoy your videos, thanks Aimee! You’re such a gem!!

I've watched 7 videos of this explanation from various musicians and this was was the only one what made sense, GEEZ! THANK YOU!!

[charlenestarr]

Hello! I just started watching some of your videos and appreciate your energy and passion! These lessons are a tad bit advanced for where I'm at musically but I feel motivated to go further. Thank you :)

[swilson]

This is an outstanding explanation! Not only what the chord is and how to use it. Thanks

[elanfrenkel]

awesome I like this being applied to popular tunes .. When jazz players have shown me before I usually ignore it because it doesn't always sound good but now I see it in context of songs I love.

[DavidBrown-ezjc]

Great lesson thanks so much Dave from uk

the chorus of "I have nothing" by Whitney Houston (this one features a key change as well; the pre-chorus ends is in G and ends on D7, the chorus starts on an Ebmaj7. In fact the final chorus even has the tritone sub built in, by using the V of Bb, F7, to land on the IV of B, Emaj7)

[YoussefRbahi]

The new equipment is making a HUGE difference!

11:36 that B9 - pure bliss! it flows so nicely. the #9 seems to "jump" to the next root in a slightly awkward way.

[karlfarren]

Thanks, Aimee. Grabbing my guitar right now to apply this.

[Ramenmemes]

Aimee this is awesome. Sort of new to theory/piano and would love more soul/gospel stuff. This was really helpful. Thanks!!

[denismguitar]

I agree with you in “Let’s Stay Together”. The 9 works because of the D, C#, C movement. My ear like that.

[ParsevalMusic]

Simply thanks for this super video. Tried to find some one to explain theory behind gospel for so much time!!!
