Do you know how chords are formed?
They are formed from simple triads.
Can you name the 7 traids in the key of C?
Can you play them?
Then comes tritone substitutions better known as a tritone sub.
What's that?

Pt

Here's the condensed ver. tritone sub:

In a dominant 7th chord the 7th the 3rd form the tritone interval (spans 3 whole tones). If you make the 3rd the 7th and the 7th the 3rd you turn the interval upside down. Also the roots are a tritone apart.

example: C7 to Gb7/Db

Makes a sweet chord substitution and a alternate chord for scales to choose from. There is a tonal gravity between Db and C which can also serve as a cadence.

Try this: Sub: Db7 for G7

Dmin7|G7|Cmaj7

Then

Dmin7|Db7|Cmaj7

:-)
