let's just recap sub groups

sub group II allows the substitute of chord II for chord IV

in the key of G major that's Am7 for C maj7 or Cmaj7 for Am7

or Am for C or C for Am example

||G / / / | C / D / ||

G is I in G Major

C is chord IV

D is chord V

|| G / / / | C / D / ||

becomes

|| G / / / | Am / D / ||

brilliant isn't it .

Don't forget to support the melody line.

sub group I allowed you to exchange G for Bm or Em with these permutations

||G / / / | C / D / ||

||Bm / / / | C / D / ||

||Em / / / | C / D / ||

now these are possible

||G / / / | Am / D / ||

||Bm / / / | Am / D / ||

||Em / / / | Am / D / ||
