 the old flat five tidbit Rule:
If you have a dominant chord in a progression, you can substitute another dominant chord a flatted fifth above (or below)
Dm7 G7 C .......becomes
Dm7 Db7 C
Db7 subs for G7
instead of the progression descending by fifths, ii V I,
the new progression descends chromatically ii bII I
The reasoning....if we alter both dominant chords with a flatted fifth
G7b5 (G B Db F) has the same notes as Db7b5 (Db F Abb Cb)
very useful for spicing up your music and rearranging cover tunes

Re: the old flat five tidbit A fan was in London looking for Mick Jagger. At the building he asked the concierge which apartment. "I believe you want flat five sir"
