In this set of Major 2-5-1s the Dominant 7th chord has been
re-harmonised using Tritone Substitution.
For example, the V7 of a 2-5-1 in C would usually be G7. If you count up three whole tones (a tri-tone) from G you get C#. You can play a C#7 in place of the G7. It results in a walk-down bass line effect, in this case D - C# - C.
Play along with the track to get used to the sound of a substituted
2-5-1 chord sequence.
Enjoy!
