Chord substitution

Encyclopedia : C : CH : CHO : Chord substitution

A chord substitution is the use of one chord in the place of another in a chord progression. Substituted chords must have some quality in common with the original chords, such as in a tritone substitution. Theoretically any chord can be substituted for any other chord as long as the new chord supports the melody. See also: Coltrane changes.
