I hope this clarifies a bit.

"In order to better organize the subjects, the lessons are divided into cycles of 4 videos between 1 hour and 1:30. Each cycle (4 video lessons) runs in a different Facebook group, and they can only be accessed by invited subscribers: Facebook calls these secret groupsAll the lessons are pre recorded and are available 24/7 while you are a member of the groups.."
"As soon as you make the payment, add me on Facebook and send me a private message, this confirms that it is you. After that I will add you to the group or groups."

I don't think I will be buying the multi-thousand dollars "Benson's Secrets" course any time soon, but I'm glad the guy is receiving the living legend treatment (that he so richly deserves) while he is still alive.

I mean applying mechanical general substitution rules are simply not working and leading unmusical results. Instead a chord progression (and some hints from the tune itself) determines where the tune requires tension. That place is a "dominant" regardless which chord quality is on that place. At the same time in some places where the progression contain dominant seventh chord quality it is really not a tension place, and sounds bad if you try to apply any tool which implies that.
(all above is talking about standard progressions. When there is a four or more bars chord block in a modal tune the improviser can choose superimposing tension and release over it. (I wish I knew how to do it properly :-)
