Both of the tonic substitute chords use notes from the tonic chord, which means ...
Often in the NNS, songs in minor keys will be written in the 6- of the relative major key. So if the song was in G minor, the key would be listed as B ♭ major, and G minor chords would appear as 6-. If a chord root is not in the scale, the symbols ♭ or ♯ can be added. In the key of C major, an E ♭ triad would be notated as ♭ 3.

The fourth degree in major may be substituted for a seventh chord to create a "bluesy" sound. In a progression going up a fourth, if the first chord is a minor seventh chord, it can also be substituted for a seventh chord; a relative second degree can also be added before it to create a ii–V–I turnaround. (A sole minor seventh or seventh ...
In the standard Coltrane change cycle the ii–V–I is substituted with a progression of chords that cycle back to the V–I at the end. In a 4 4 piece, each chord gets two beats per change. Coltrane developed this modified chord progression for "Countdown", which is much more complex.
