Going from F to E

Post by Dr. Hugh Jeffreys »

To the player who wanted to know how to get from F to E. There are many ways; here are two examples: 1. F----F#half dim. 7th, then to B7+9 to Emaj7. 2. F --- B half dim 7th then to B7b9+11 then to Emaj 7th. These can be very pleasing, depending on the voicings used.---HJ

Another possibility is to just modulate down the half step, which is the most powerful resolution. Also keep in mind that F7 substitutes for B7, because they share the tritone, Eb/D# and the A, so there's your 5>1.
