    Check out polychords and 4 notes extensions as subs 
     
    ex. Em7 as a sub (and any way you can play them) for CMaj7  
    Em7=egbd which is 3rd 5th 7th and 9th of the CMaj7 chord
    Lots of info on this subject to check out and easily applied. Unlike when I had to learn it 50 years ago 
     
    I went from cover to cover in the early 70's of Ted Greene's Chord Chemistry book. Great book but kinda hard to sort out

    Isn't that a rootless chord in a band context when you have a bass payer playing the root. Combined making a CMaj9. Sometimes revered to a Bill Evans' Voicings.

    Holdsworth voicings and quartal harmony is my go to for chord subs. I’ve been doing it for decades. It used to be unique or”weird “, now I hear more players doing it

    I just recently happened upon his youtube channel. Very knowledgeable guy. I followed a few of what makes this song a hit series. Amazing that he gets real raw tracks of these older tunes. He peeled back Kid Charlemagne from Steely Dan on one of them, great stuff.  I didn't even know he does chording and lessons type of stuff.

    He does.
    I dont have his book. But I bet ot is good.

    From his homepage. "Rick Beato is a musician, teacher, and father of three. Rick has worked as a writer/producer with various bands in the rock and country genres. Two albums that he produced for NeedtoBreathe – “The Outsiders” (2009) and “The Reckoning” (2012) – won Dove Awards in the Best Rock/Contemporary category. He co-wrote “Carolina” with Parmalee in 2013, which climbed to number 1 on the Billboard’s Country Music Chart. He is certified to teach grades K-12 and holds a bachelor’s in music from Ithaca College and a master’s in jazz studies from the New England Conservatory of Music. He is presently a member of the Board of Directors at The GLOBE Academy dual-language immersion charter school in Atlanta, GA"
