Swingbabymix, I don’t know if ‘substitutions’ means the same thing to you as it does to me (for example a tri-tone substitution).

Also, many of the Brazilian songs I work with may have four chords in the first measure, never mind the whole song. And for anyone who says it’s showing off; it’s not. It’s perfectly normal for the genre.
