This is part of a series where I walk you through how to substitute any chord in any progression.
The substitutes in this series are very basic embellishments (we are changing the chord quality) - we are not substituting different chords, just embellishing or extending the chords, for example: rather than playing a Cmaj7 you will swap it out for A Cmaj9#11.
Here we look at substitutes (embellishments) for the I (and IV) chord.
Learn about these beautiful chords and learn how to use them.
Wherever we find a major 7 in a harmonized scale, one of these chords can be used (See more on harmonized scales here). They can not be substituted for the V chord because the V chord is a dominant chord and it has a b7. There are many dominant substitutes that can be used for the V chord... Stick with those.
NOTE: Although a V chord is a major chord when a scale is harmonized with major and minor chords it is not a major chord when we harmonize a scale with 7 chords - it's a dominant, so the best choice for a V chord substitute is a dominant chord.
