So, you have to take what you&#8217;re about to learn seriously because it can revolutionize your playing if well understood.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s jump right into it.<\/p>\n<h2>The &#8220;3-5-7-9&#8221; Principle Of Chord Substitution &#8212; <em>Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The concept of chord substitution is concerned with the replacement of a given chord by another chord. Although the replacement for the given chord may be related or foreign, there must be a theoretical explanation for the substitution.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started by taking a look at the foundation of the &#8220;3-5-7-9&#8221; principle of chord substitution.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0The Foundation Of The &#8220;3-5-7-9&#8221; Principle Of Chord Substitution<\/h3>\n<p>There are four tones in every seventh chord: the first, third, fifth, and seventh tone. In the C major seventh chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C is the first tone<\/p>\n<p>E is the third tone<\/p>\n<p>G is the fifth tone<\/p>\n<p>B is the seventh tone<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Each of these tones can be associated with numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. So, in the case of the C major seventh chord, C is the 1, E is the 3, G is the 5, and B is the 7.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;3-5-7-9&#8221; principle of chord substitution is concerned with the replacement of the 1-chord with other chords that are derived from the consideration of the 1, 3, 5, and 7 as the 3, 5, 7, and 9.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s How It Works&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 1 in the the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be considered as the 3, (the 5, the 7, or the 9) of a major ninth chord in another key.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here Are The Possibilities&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 1 in the C major seventh chord (which is C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be substituted with another major ninth chord where C is the 3, the 5, the 9, or the 7.<\/p>\n<p>The 3 in the C major seventh chord (which is E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,E,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can also be substituted with another major ninth chord where E is the 3, the 5, the 9, or the 7.<\/p>\n<p>The 5 in the C major seventh chord (which is G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,G,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can also be substituted with another major ninth chord where G is the 3, the 5, the 9, or the 7.<\/p>\n<p>The 7 in the C major seventh chord (which is B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,B,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can also be substituted with another major ninth chord where B is the 3, the 5, the 9, or the 7.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go ahead and explore these possibilities for the 1 (which is C):<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;The Consideration Of The 1 As The 3&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The 1 (which is C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,&amp;color=6699CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be considered as the 3.<\/p>\n<p>So, in what key is C the 3?
