Several days ago, I posted this article about minor chord substitutions:

.
Then, last week, I posted part 1 of a video demonstration:

Here is part 2. (if you don't see it below, you can view it at

Excellent Greg. I was with you until the very end but you lost me on the last example.

Loved the lesson Mr. Howlett. I use that same 6-2-5 substitution for the 5 chord when I play Trust and Obey.
I was wondering, would it be possible (good may be a better word) to substitute a 6-3 progression for a 4-1?

Thanks Janice. Perhaps listen one more time. It does take a little time to absorb this.
Danny, sure you can do that. In fact, 6 functions like 4 just like 3 functions like 1.
But remember the rule. Any chord can substitute for any chord if the two conditions are met.

That's what I thought. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

I just discovered your site tonight and watched both videos on these chord progressions. I really learned a lot and it was very clearly presented. The videos definitely helped after reading the written blog. Thank you for your time!
