The Jazz DOMINANT scale and the chord going with it, surely must be the most important chord tone.
First it emphasises one of the two harmony notes the b7. Second it indicates with certainty which key you are in - you can't say that about any Minor chord symbol, nor even for certainty about a Major chord symbol (it might be the 4th of another major)
But, most importantly it can be substituted most easily with the Tritone and the Alt.
This chap is nice and simple. You can get a riff from it.




In this blog We will produce tips for jazz piano, and jazz guitar together with jazz saxophone. We will cover jazz chords, jazz guitar chords, and we will deal with jazz scales. We will cover jazz songs. This site is all about jazz improvisation.
