hiiii scott i have a question,i ussually alter a dominant chord into more complex sound,in Dm-G-C i change the "G" become G7b9#5. my question is,if i have Am-Dm-G, can I alter those 2 minor chords? what would they be?

Hi, Well, as it stands, the progression is kind of, um, interesting. But you might try this: Am7 - D7#9 - GM7 Now, if the G were a minor chord instead of a major chord, there's all sorts of stuff I might do. Am7b5 - D7b9 - Gm7for a simple example. What sort of things have you come up with for that progression?

hi scott... That's a nice prog that you have show me... But my question is,if i play in the key of c,the am-dm-g is a 6-2-5 prog...that means that the G chord is the dominant...can i get the subtitution chords for those two minor chords,while i alter the G7?
