Chord Substitution and Reharmonization - Reharmonizing All The Things You Are

How do you reharmonize a piece of music? In this Guitar lesson I am going to explore different methods that you can use to create unique versions of other people songs, or to help you with your own songwriting.

I'll show you how to play the ending of the Jazz standard 'All The Things You Are' by Jerome Kern, then we'll use chord substitutes and add some extra chords to create different variations of the song.

If you're looking to improve your jazz improvisation, add depth to your chord knowledge, or expand your harmonic vocabulary, this lesson should help.
