B Minor & E7: 2-5s & Tritone Substitutions

Now we're going to go over B minor and E seventh which is our two five out of A major. So, if we take a look at A major here. One. Three sharps. A, B, C sharp, D, E, F sharp, G sharp, A. Then we start at two. Our second note and count up. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So, we got one, three, five, and seven. There's our B minor, right? One, three, five, and seven. And if you drop the top two down a notch within the scale you get your E seven. One, three, five, seven. Again, we're outlining one, three, and five, seven of every chord. And then you drop your bottom two and you get A major. One, three, five, and seven. So, B minor, E seven, A major. And then to get your two five you drop the top two chromatically and the bottom one chromatically and you got B flat seven. B minor, B flat seven, A major. And that's our two fives out of A major.
