Topic: Substituting chords.
How do you go about working out what chords you can use as a substitute chord? I'd like to be able to throw something different into the mix when i'm strumming away on chord progressions. Instead of playin 2 whole bars of E for example I like to throw an E7 in every 2nd beat or so just to change things slightly.
I know how to work it out for major chords, instead of C you could throw in a Cmaj7 or a Cadd9 or something, because these are derived from the major scale, just adding a note to a triad. But how do you go about working out what chords you can use in place of say an F#m or a D#dim?
Does anyone know the theory I should be looking at here?
I'm pretty much stumped on this one, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
Craig.
