Sep 28, 2022 at 20:58 comment added John Thanks for sharing Michael I presumed it would be helpful to share the literal progression. Next time I’ll stick to the 7’s.
Sep 28, 2022 at 14:29 comment added Michael Curtis This applies to jazz too. That fact that ii V I is a jazz fundamental is literally writing out the functional essentials in terms of only triads.
Sep 28, 2022 at 14:26 comment added Michael Curtis As a general rule, when people as "how it works" they are asking about functional harmony, and when it comes to functional harmony mode changing details and extensions beyond the seventh (probably better stated as the tritone MI/FA) are irrelevant to essential function. In other words, essential function ("how it works") can usually be explained with plain triads in combination with tritone MI/FA.
Sep 28, 2022 at 14:20 comment added Michael Curtis @Flyswat. No. Those extensions obscure the details of the leading tone, and the other functional tones of the resolution, because those extension tones are not involved with the resolution.

Sep 28, 2022 at 13:42 comment added John @MichaelCurtis I disagree. The progression I'm referencing was written as such and sharing it with the extensions is important to get a more detailed picture of leading tones with the substitution.

Sep 28, 2022 at 12:40 comment added Michael Curtis Is it really necessary to give an example progression with #11, 13, b9, etc. to get to the point about a "root substitution?" Just use plain seventh chords and show the progression before and after the substitution.
Sep 28, 2022 at 12:12 comment added piiperi Reinstate Monica Can you please write this in a very for-dummies way, like where is your "one" i.e. I chord, and what has been substituted with what? A root has been substituted? Which root, what note name? What was it substituted with? What does (13) in parenthesis mean, when you also say something about 7 and 11? Can you show all the notes you mean on a piano keyboard or something, and then mark them, which note you think is center, and where is the sixth that has been flatted. And where would the missing note be that was substituted with something, and what is the surprising thing about that.
