Now for the II- V-I applications. This is where knowing your Ddim7 and its neighbors can give you some very interesting voice leading. Let's practice by moving just one note from our original Dmin7 to get the initial new voicing over the V chord; we can keep moving once we've established it. In 5(a), our note borrowing gives us an Abmin7b5 over the V chord. In 5(b), we start with a Dmin7b5 over the V chord. The point is, you don't need to think of the chord first, just start borrowing a note from the "chord above" and the "chord below.
