Possible substitutions for D major: B minor, F# minor, Bb major, Bbmajor 7th, C major suspended 2nd, D major seventh, D6, and Dminor, Dminor7th, E7, E9, B7#9 (used in soul and funk music-the D is the #9) All these chords contain the note of D within them. Also, there's Eb major 7, C9, G minor and more remote possibility if you consider how many chords have F# and A in them. The only guiding principle is stylistic taste. Frank
