Bill, these videos are really excellent. Thanks for putting them out–I will definitely be steering my students to them.
This went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over my head, but this guy sounds really good.
Err, this is great stuff. I totally get it. The only thing is no mention of the C- chord (in this progression the ii-7), is it sub for a maj as the vi-7 was, so C7 sub would be E-7b5 or Eo if you b the ninth (db) or f#7 the tritone sub. Unless this chord is not usually substituted on this progression?
correction..the Eo chord has a Dbb ..double flat
