first of all...the flattened VII in the key of E is D (but this suggests a dominant chord and not your so called DM9...Character wise...a DM9 is an altered I chord
the A7 would be the diatonic V of D
the F#7#9 would be something called delaying resolution...but it's also an altered chord of the relative minor of A
going back...resolution to what?
to B7
another way to look at it would be from A7 (A), it would be the 6th, but an altered 6th (which is a "legal" alteration)
then from B7...altered VI of what?
D
That's the explanation...
you can't imply that it's the bVII9 of E because first of all, there's no E to begin with...and you can't say that the B7 implied it, because there's an A7
the root would be D
now if it was the original EM9...it's a totally different story...but it's not there...so...
go figure...

thing is ... you don'g get me at all...
let's hear a sample...
or you can explain how you would approach soloing over this progression...
grammar cop: kindly give an example of this progression uhm...typewritten by you... (not "yours", right?)
bVII9-IV-II7#7-V7
i've never seen the 1st and 3rd chord in my whole life...can you give samples?
love,
theory cop
It's the same progression, only notated (for the lack of a more accurate term) in a different key. But anyhow for your benefit:
In E:
bVII9-IV7-II7#7-V7
DM9 A7 F#7#9 B7
Now in D, the same chords can still work, but when you use that system it becomes different:
I9 IV7 III#7#9 VI7
DM9 A7 F#7#9 B7
Now, if I get you correctly are you telling me to cite examples of songs that feature a progression in I-III, or examples of I-III progressions? Please clarify. I'll help you to the best of my ability (now, is this sanitized enough for you guys?).
Music Theory majors, please correct me on these matters. My knowledge of proper notation only comes from a fair share of Sessions columns from my GP magazines, which basically amounts to not a lot. Thanks.
The "theory cop" tag is so hilarious, I have to admit. It's so goddamn PREPOSTEROUS that it's so funny. Kudos to you on that, mate.
