Cool and concise explanation, thank you! Do you think you can do the same with modal progressions and specifically how their chords are grouped into groups of tension? For example, if I was using the F lydian mode, do the I and vi chords (Fmaj, and Dminor) still have the function of least tension? And how do I stop F lydian progressions from pulling towards the Cmaj chord (which tricks the ear i to becoming the new tonic). Sorry if my explanation was utter rubbish
good question. if you change mode the function of each chord is going to change as well. so if you're playing in F lydian, F is not going to create some tension anymore and it will sound instead like the root (no tension). as for the second question, yeah your ear can be tricked into thinking that C is the tonic since you're using the C major scale, so it really depends on the context. if you keep coming back to F it's going to sound like F lydian
Great video! How would this work for an Am progression since it has the same chords as C major? Do G and Bdim, for example, maintain the same level of tension as in a C major progression (so that level of tension is then shifted to the ii° and VII chords of Am)?
thanks! actually the key Am would be different from C. you can say that the key is Am when you have a G# happening somewhere (usually in E7). if not, it's going to be C major. keep in mind that G can resolve to Am too (false cadence)
This channel is gonna grow really big! Great content and great quality!
thanks man i appreciate it :) let's hope so!
I like the way you say Basically
This channel needs to get bigger, and it will. Best guitar content on RUclips
thank you man, I really appreciate it. really
The effortlessness on display angers me 😂 great channel, and bonus points for having an Ibanez occasionally in the vids.
Every time I want to improve my songwriting skills while looking for tutorials on RUclips, you upload a new video that satisfies my needs lol
supply demand🙃
It's funny when one thinks oh I already know these then found something about tension that I didn't know. Great content 👌 Giuseppe :)
Your channel is great man
thank you!

Thank you for the in-depth reply! I need to think about it, great concepts
wat.

Amazing video ! Really awesome channel !
thank you!
