Christmas just got merrier for some of us who now have to live far from family and friends because of gentrification. Thank you! Edit: I remember you doing a whiteboard video on these various sixth chords before, but this is helping me understand them better. Besides, even were it just a refresher, I really appreciate those as well. The whiteboard videos are the ones I learn most from, although I understand that's not the same case for beginners, nor even for many intermediate players.
What an awesome video! We don't take a look at single notes that much in these modern days...your videos tend to make clear that's a limitation of the possiblities - however the whole music (theory) nomenclature is far off from any state of consistency and all over the place when it comes to what notes are really played in which order in a chord.
So the possibilities for the F bass note ( works as a subdominant) are Dm/F, Dm7/F, F7, Bm7(b5)/F, and the last weird one (french) that Tomasso didn´t say the actual name :) F7(b5)
He put out a video on the Neapolitan sixth chords (I think last year). They seem very similar to these, or maybe they are even the same. I'd have to go watch that older video to be certain, as that was my first introduction to them.
You make a good point that understanding the origin, perceived problem, and the "fix" makes the theory more easily understandable. Perhaps a ubiquitous truth - far easier to understand a technical concept or technology armed with knowledge of how and why it evolved. The parallel 5ths sound quite good again these days! I also like the Em & Dm substitutions for G & F. Quite nicely done. 👏👏
Just a couple of days ago, I played chords over a melody I recorded in June 2023. The chords are I-vi-VIb(aug), that is, one major, six minor, flat six augmented, which could also be flat six major 7, depending on how much of the chord I play. I mever thought about it theoretically, it's only when I play something that I like and analyze it that I understand how interesting something I played is. This video helps me understand better how to use augmented.

Fascinating Tommaso, thanks, and Merry Christmas to you and your family

Great lesson Tomnasso

One of your very best videos Tommaso. I really enjoyed that one.
Ho imparato una cosa nuova, grazie, è forse l'origine della progressione del blues in minore?
Sounds like RadioHead Scatterbrain!
Another amazing video from my favorite theory channel!
That was quite informative. Is there a similar story for Neapolitan chords?

Also: It is not a tritone substitution: ruclips.net/video/Q0FpVBSHqYI/видео.html

Yes : ruclips.net/video/K8Z6MTonoXE/видео.html
The Neapolitan 6 and the Augmented 6 are two different kinds of chords. There are similarities, of course (they both have a 6th!)

Parallel 5ths sound great to our ears indeed! ruclips.net/video/JuxDXqGxSek/видео.html
So simple yet so complex!!
