Fantastic videos! I am taking a first year music theory course in University, and I’m finding your videos to be a helpful supplement. I am puzzled by your calling the last chord in this video a dominant 43. Isn’t this a diminished 43 (or VII 4+/3) because F sharp is the root of this chord in the G minor scale? Is that what you mean by your big red arrow? Where are you call it a leading tone seventh? I must say, I find the way that chords are named is confusing, and not always consistent.
Hi John! I wanted to address your question but am confused about where you are talking about. Neither example in the video is in G min (the 1st is in G May and the 2nd in Eb). Since you said “last chord in the video, I went to the very end of the video but I couldn’t find a chord like you were describing. Can you look again and send me a time for where I discuss the chord analysis you found confusing and try to address it? Thanks again for watching!
@@ScottWatsonMusic Oops! Somehow I added the comment to the incorrect video, perhaps via RUclips's autoplay video feature. I must not have noticed the that the video changed. The comment was meant for ruclips.net/video/74un-AGj06A/видео.html, "Music theory: Seventh chords". I'll copy my question to the correct video so that you can answer it in its correct context. Sorry for the confusion.
I agree and wish I had done that. Practically speaking, I created these videos for my music theory classes and we would always sing the examples in 4-parts using solfège.
Sure, I guess it's a judgement call, but I still hear it as in Eb then. I always tell my students that in MOST cases, look for the accidental, go a chord earlier, and you'll have your pivot. I think that "rule" works here.
Thank you for a very clear explication, and the different colored pen graphics are great.
Thanks man, this concept was actually giving me a good kick in the butt, but it seems much more simple now. I appreciate it!
You got it!
I was struggling so much with this topic but this tutorial made it so easy!
I'm so glad!
Thank you, thank you, this is really helping me in my music theory class!
You are so welcome! Good luck in Music Theory :)

Could we hear these examples on the piano?
Oo this is my worksheet
Thank you
Nice explanations but I'm left disappointed that you didn't play the examples. Theory is all well and good but to internalise it you need to hear it.

I have to fight my way through all 4 theory again…… I’m still confused. Never heard of modulations
can't the second Eb major chord be the pivot chord?

@@ScottWatsonMusic that makes more sense. thanks
