I've read your answer. It's not confusing, on the contrary, it
is very clear. You have no idea of how much I respect your opinions and
thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I live in a small town in
the mountains (Argentina) and there isn't a jazz teacher living here,
not even one. I love jazz. So you can imagine what this list means to
me.
I became interested in understanding the harmonic structure of
tunes because I wanted to follow your advice on improvising over large
key centers. I've seen your post on "Beatiful love". I think all the
chords are functioning in the key of D minor. I see no modulations here
( please correct me if I'm wrong). So I guess I can use D harmonic minor
to improvise all over the song. (Maybe D aeolian too, as I see the note
C natural many times in the melody).
There is something I don' t understand. That is, when you made
the substitution of G7 # 4 for B7 in the last four bars of the song.
I've thought about it but I can't understand why it works. Is there an
explanation?
So, in the key of D minor you are using the progression :
... / G7 #4 / Bb7 . . . instead of ... B7/ Bb 7 ...
that is IV 7 - bVI 7 instead of VI7 - bVI 7
Is this a common substitution (IV 7 for VI 7 ) in minor
keys?
Thanks in advance.
