Playing Tritone Substitution Bass Scales in G Major

Video Transcript

So now we have our one six two five pattern down and we have all these two five patterns we can do with three six two five. But if we look at it in our second position real quick so here is three right, (playing guitar) three six two five one, so three six two five one and you can see how it really is a black pattern. Three six two five one, three six two five one so what you can do is substitute anyone of those notes for the note that is diagonal to it. It is a tritone so this is an octave the tritone splits in octave in half, so if I wanted to substitute my six here I can use my flat three. So I can go (playing) so I got three flat three two five one or I can substitute the two for a flat six so I can have three six flat six five one. So what you are really doing is instead of having this back your putting it in a chromatic and sort of falling down. (playing) So there is three flat three two flat two one so (playing guitar) That is called tritone substitution when you substitute the tritone of the note for the root of the note.
