Questions & AnswersNow we're going over C-sharp minor and F-sharp minor which will drive that a B-major. So, we're going to learn her B-major, right. Five sharps; B, C-sharp, D-sharp, E, F-sharp, D-sharp, A-sharp, B. So, all the black notes there. If we start on C-sharp and make it one; we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So, there's our one, three, five, seven and that gives us our C-sharp minor. Then if we drop the top two, we have our F-sharp seven, right; one, three, five, seven to our B-major; drop the bottom two; one, three, five, seven. The reason that works so good is when you think about it, you have one, three, five, seven here and if you drop it all down a notch, you have your major cord, right; two minor, one major and then we just put that one step in between. We drop the top two first and then drop the bottom two. C-sharp minor, F-sharp seven, B-major; that easy. And then for our Tritone Substitutions, we drop the top two chromatically and the bottom one chromatically and you've got C-seven to B-major, C-sharp minor, C-seven, B-major. That's your 2-5s, your B-major for your Tritone Substitutions.
