Chord Substitution Techniques Explained by Dennis Savvidis is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Chord substitution involves replacing an existing chord with one that serves the same harmonic function but sounds different, adding variety. There are several types of substitutions, including diatonic substitutions that use chords from the same key, inversions that rearrange chord tones, and flat-five substitutions that replace a dominant chord with one built on a diminished fifth above its root. Understanding chord functions and families allows for more effective substitutions that preserve harmonic mean
