Another way to look at it-

Example: Db7 may be substituted for G7(or vice versa)
G7 = G-B-D-F
Db7 = Db-F-Ab-B

If you notice, the 3rd & the b7th are the same notes("F" & "B" in this example).

Look thats only going to work in a jazz progression with substitutions. Sure you get the Dominant 7th ambiguity. Well for the metal, rock musician this means ****.

There would be no Metallica, no Coroner no COC, no, death metal. That and the b2nd. And a bit of chromaticism. Sabbath gave a new generation the base material. Iommi deserves to have a statue made out of him somewhere for basically inventing this genre. He is an absolute legend.

Maybe, but i didnt see anything about locking in with the band, only the drummer. I think that every band member needs to lock in and feed off each other, and then it works. If that means following the kick/snare, so be it. If that means going to town with funk coming out your ears, so be it.
