Any dominant seventh chord can be preceded by a minor seventh chord a fifth higher in tone.
(C major, C maj and C are the same thing)
Original progression: Cmaj //// Am //// F //// G7 ////
New progression: C //// Am //// F //// Dm //// G7 ////
Any major, minor or dominant seventh chord may be preceded
with a dominant seventh chord a fifth higher in tone.
Original progression: C //// Am //// F //// G7 //// C ////
New progression: C //// Am //// C7 //// F //// G7 //// C ////
Original progression: C //// Am //// F //// G7 //// C ////
New progression: C //// E7 //// Am //// F //// G7 //// C ////
Original progression: C //// Am //// F //// G7 //// C ////
New progression: C //// Am //// F //// D7 //// G7 //// C ////
Original progression: G //// G7 //// C ////
New progression: G //// Dm7 //// G13 //// G7#5 //// C ////
(or you can end with any diatonic substation for C major like C maj 6/9)
Now lets combine both techniques:
Original progression: C //// Am //// F //// G7 //// C ////
New progression: C //// E7 //// Am //// F //// Dm7 //// G7 //// C ////
Original progression: C //// Am //// F //// G7 //// C ////
New progression: C //// E7 //// Am //// C7 //// F //// G7 //// C ////
As always transpose to all keys!
