Harmonic Minor Modes - Ionian #5 - Diatonic Substitutions - Mode 3

Now lets take every other note in a group of three, four, five, six, and seven notes. Lower case b means flat or one half step lower in tone also the sharp 5th or augmented 5th is written as +)

3 notes = Eb, G, B,                  = Eb augmented                                                    Eb+                                            

4 notes = Eb, G, B, D               = Eb major seventh sharp 5th                                 Eb maj 7+

5 notes = Eb, G, B, D, F           = Eb major seventh sharp 5th add ninth                  Eb maj 7/9/+

6 notes = Eb, G, B, D, F, Ab     = Eb major seventh sharp 5th /ninth/eleventh         Eb maj 7/9/11/+

7 notes = Eb, G, B, D, F, Ab, C = Eb major seventh sharp 5th /ninth/eleventh/thirteenth Eb maj 7/9/11/13/+

Other common augmented chords:

Eb+/6th                                 = Eb, G, B, C

Eb+/9th                                 = Eb, G, B, F

Eb+/6/9                                = Eb, G, B, C, F

Eb maj7/6+                           = Eb, G, B, D, C

Eb+sus                                  = Eb, Ab, B

Eb+sus 2                               = Eb, F, B

Eb+sus 2/7                            = Eb, F, B, D

So here is your assignment that you will do with all keys using the Ionian #5 Mode. 

Eb Ionian #5 chord progression key of C harmonic minor:

Original progression    - Do //// G //// Cm //// Eb+ ////     (viio, III, vi, I+)

Now with sub chords   - Dm7b5 //// G7 //// Cm maj7 //// Eb maj7/6 +  //// (vii7b5, III7, vi maj7, I maj7/6+)

You can use any of the 4 note chords to replace the 3 note chords.

You can use any of the Eb Ionian #5 chords in this lesson to sub for the I+ of the Eb Ionian #5 Scale.

I will expand on this in greater detail later but for now go back to all the Ionian #5 chord progressions previously given (Harmonic Minor Modes - Ionian #5 - Mode 3) and sub the 4 note chords for the 3 note chords and sub the I+ chord in this lesson for any of the I+ of the Eb Ionian #5 Scale.

You can also sub any of the chords already covered, example D diminished becomes Do/b9.

Also take these chord formulas and a note name chart and start to create these chords in all possible octaves and positions. When creating chords on the guitar the root, fifth or seventh are often omitted because of just having six strings. 

You can use all notes when multi-tracking.
