482. HOW TO CONVERT ALL TYPES OF CHORD TRANSITIONS (CHROMATIC, MELODIC, HARMONIC) TO CHROMATIC THROUGH DIM7 CHORDS OUTSIDE THE 7 DIATONIC SCALE.

 

Exmaples


Harmonic transition 5M7->1M

becomes chromatic as 5M7->7Dim7->1M

Similarly, the 4 bars blues harmonic transitions, of the 3 major chords of the diatonic, become chromatic as follows:

5M or 1M->4M becomes  5M or 1M->4bdim7->4M

5M or 4M->1M becomes 5M or 4M->7dim7->1M 

1M or 4M -> 5M becomes   1M or 4M -> 5bdim7=1dim7-> 5M 

so the rule is to resolve to XM, we pass through the Xbdim7.


Chromatic  5M->6m 

becomes chromatic as 5M->6bdim7->6m

Melodic transition  5M-> 3m

Becomes chromatic as 5M->3bdim7->3m 


Melodic transition  1M-> 3m

Becomes hromatic as 1M->1dim7=3bdim7->3m 

Again the rule is :to resolve to XM, we pass through the Xbdim7.
