After outlining the F9 chord with the first 2 chords in the lick, the lick creates tension by playing two
diminished 7 chords. The first diminished 7 chord in the lick is a V7 of V7 (or secondary dominant), being
a substitute for G7b9.
The second diminished chord is the V7 of F, and is a C7b9 chord. Instead of heading right back to F7, the
lick features a diminished triad built off the #9 of F (G#).

Lick 4 The Turn Around

The first bar in this lick features an anticipated chord on the and of 4 from the previous bar. Instead of
playing a Gm7 as indicated by the blues form, youll play a Bbmaj7 as a substitution for Gm7.
This first chord substitution is another important piece of information to remember and add to your
playing. A maj7 chord built from the b3 of the minor 7 chord gives you the following chord tones:
Gm7 G (R) Bb (b3) D (5) F (b7)
Bbmaj7 (Over Gm7) Bb (b3) D (5) F (b7) A (9)
After playing the Bbmaj7 over the Gm7, youll play through a Gm7 Drop 2 chord in 3rd inversion. From
here youll play 2 diminished chords.
The first diminished 7 chord in the first bar leads chromatically into the second diminished 7 chord. The
second diminished 7 chord is actually a 7b9 substitution for the C7 chord played in anticipation of the
second bar, where the C7 falls naturally In the blues form.
Once arriving at the second bar, another C7 Drop 2 chord is played. This time the chord is a completely
unaltered C7 Drop 2 chord in 3rd inversion. Starting in bar 4, a I VI II V progression is played using
the following chords:
The I chord is a third inversion Drop 2 F7 chord (F7/Eb).
The VI chord is a second inversion Drop 2 D7 chord (D7/A).
The II chord is a third inversion Drop 2 Bmin7b5 chord used as a substitute for G7 in order to get the 9th.
The V chord is a third inversion Bbm7b5 chord used as a substitute for C7. Becausethis is a m7b5 chord
built from the b7 of the C7 chord (Bb), you end up with the b7 (Bb), b9 (Db), 3 (E/Fb), b13 (Ab).

What should you take away from this lesson? Firstly, youll have a few new chord licks and ideas to work
with in the woodshed.
Knowing a particular voicing (ie: Drop 2) on the guitar can provide you with countless musical ideas. In
combination with creative rhythm and substitutions, Drop 2 chord voicings alone will provide months of
new practice material in the practice room.
Some of the most common substitutions in Wes Montgomerys playing that were covered in this lesson
include:
m7b5 for a 7 (built from the 3 or b7 of the 7 chord)
maj7 for a m7 (built from the b3 of the m7 chord)
dim7 for a m7 or 7 (built from the b9 of either chord)
m7 for a 7 (built from the 5 or 6 of the 7 chord)
