  jazz chord substitution
While the theoretical principles of chord substitution are something that we can examine and develop at our leisure, in performance situations, especially in jazz and to a certain extent in the blues, substituting one chord for another or recoloring a chord from it's written version is a spontaneous, real time event.
These three dominant chord substitutions are found on the b2, major 3rd and b7 pitches of the tonic key, and along with V 7, create the four common dominant motions to the tonic key.
Dominant chord substitutions are rare in the folk styles, we sometimes hear the b7 sub in the blues and rock styles, although it is usually the written change.

 Popular chord progressions
Chord progressions are simply movement from one chord to another in a harmonic framework.

 Chord progression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chord change is a movement from one chord to another and may be thought of as either the most basic chord progression or as a portion of longer chord progressions which involve more than two chords (see shift of level).
In the common-practice period, chord progressions are usually associated with a scale and the notes of each chord are usually taken from that scale (or its modally-mixed universe).
The most common chord progressions, in the common practice period and in popular music, are based on the first, fourth, and fifth scale degrees (tonic, subdominant and dominant); see three chord song, eight bar blues, and twelve bar blues.

 More Funner Than Total Oblivion
One Chord is perhaps the ideal outing for the band that once threatened to ruin the "Huge in Canada, nobody in America" cliché, only to have its obituaries all but written on the eve of the disc's release.
One Chord is a scrappy, character-addled mix of bittersweet, heart-on-the-sleeve pop ditties written by four rock-weary members of a band that originally decided to throw the record together as a posthumous document on the eve of their breakup.
Another reason is that Sloan enjoyed making the record, free from the harsh glare of the spotlight, so much that they decided to stick it out.

 How Music REALLY Works!, Chapter 6: How Chords and Chord Progressions REALLY Work
     •   The first and last chords (G major and F major) are in root position (their root notes are furthest to the left) while the middle chord (C major) is a second inversion chord (the note G is in root position).
Chord movements are named according to the intervals between their roots, even though root movement has no meaning by itself.
The chord change from C to G has a different name, and a different musical effect, compared with the chord change G to C. As noted, harmonic intervals (chord changes) are named after their roots.

 Chord Substitution
The chord that we substitute may not be diatonic to the C major scale.
This means that the chord we are substituting for must have at least 1 note that is natural to the chord we replace.
Recall the notes in the Am chord are, A, C and E. The F chord has the A note, but we can't use two of the same chords together in a progression.

 Reharmonization (Part 3)
It is also common to use a "diminished sound" on a dominant chord, by lowering the 9th by a half-step.
A similar example may be found with another variation on the dominant chord/scale relationship: the altered dominant scale (also referred to as the "diminished/whole-tone" scale).
Finally, it is possible to take another chord derived from the modes of the melodic minor scale, and substitute it for the dominant in this progression; it is a different sonority, but it shares the same scale (thus, a common tonality) with the original chord.

 Chord progressions
The circle of fifths can be used to create chord progressions by starting with any chord on the circle and moving in either direction using as many or as few consecutive chord roots as you like to produce a new chord sequence.
A secondary dominant is a chord that serves as the “V” of another.
Similarly, the “A7” is the “V” of the “D7” chord and the “D7” is the “V” of the “G7” chord.

Another chord transition where you can use a simple scale fill is when you switch from a major chord to its relative minor (or vice versa).
You might remember in the "Solving the Puzzle" column that, in decoding John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," I was able to figure out the chord progression of the last line of the chorus simply from the descending bass line.
If you have a chance, take another look at "Solving the Puzzle" where we analyze the bridge of Richard Thompson’s "Walking on a Wire." Thompson cleverly uses an ascending scale in the key of A (even though the song is in G) in order to create an intricate and gorgeous chord progression for his bridge.

Twice Removed was a natural progression from the indie-sounding guitar rock of Smeared and the polished, catchy, note-perfect AM rock of One Chord to Another.
Nova Scotia, a beautiful Scott song with great John Lennon/“Mother”-style drumming) “Losing California” (another catchy Pentland single that also has drumming) and “The Marquee and the Moon” (an atypically mid-tempo, pretty ballad from Chris with a rumbling 3/4 tom-tom part on the drums) are the songs most closely linked to the concept.
The erratic nature of Navy Blues (and to a lesser extent, One Chord to Another) was part of its charm and though Sloan may have finally found their “sound” with this album, there are moments that are dull due to monotone.

 Interview: Chris Murphy of Sloan, August 1996
They are no longer with DGC and they have released their third CD, One Chord to Another, on their own Halifax-based Murder Records.
Drummer Andrew Scott has said that One Chord to Another is the first Sloan album that he feels that he can recommend to his friends; and that is noteworthy, because Sloan is a band that is very critical of its records and, as bassist Chris Murphy admits, records are their primary focus.
Chris admits that doing this promo stuff isn't really that interesting, but One Chord to Another has taken a lot of shots from critics and in a way it has turned into a Defend the Album tour.
