AS a harmony professor at Berklee, I bow to the excellence of these videos. Not just great information given clearly, but awesome music examples as well. I have all my students watch these videos.
That's way too long :/ but these are quality videos and I'm sure you're busy teaching people one-on-one anyway...Great Stuff! You made me a fan because of your modal interchange video and had been wanting more since
Oh my god I think I need to switch out my underwear. Your Modal Interchange video has continued to be the *absolute* gold standard for me to measure music theory videos against. Thankie for the content.
These videos are so well made and informative, I love them. I made this with it :D D7 - G - G#dim7 - A7 - Adim7 - A7 - A#dim 7 - A7 - G#dim7 - G6 or em7 - D7
After your "Modal Interchange" video, I knew you were the one. I dunno how you do it, but these videos are so interesting and fun to watch honestly. LOVE THESE!!!!
Am - Am/G - Faug7 - Edim7 - Eb - Bb7 - Bdim7 - E7 - Fmaj7#11 - F#dim7 - Bb/F - E7 - ( Am ) I love your video and they really help me as a music student - cheers from Israel!
This is an absolutely revolutionary approach to teaching music theory. Playing examples in real time with a visual and audible explanation is extremely helpful. More, Myles, MORE!!! Cheers!
The first video I saw of you I knew I had to instantly subscribe. And even though I don't at all know how these work haha, I still watch these videos cause you explain them in a fun way.
I just want you to know, in case that you're still there, that your instructional videos are pure GOLD. Only a few, but every second of them save you hours diggin onto RUclips junk. So much quality...thank you man, i'm very grateful
As someone who loves music theory but also has a short attention span, your videos really help me retain what I learn. The commentary style and text animations make it fun and easy to watch. Can't wait for more
make more videos man goddamn. Best musical education videos i came across, and now i find out you only made a few vids. Would really love to see more of your stuff
Here’s what I came up with: ruclips.net/video/nP628ZYSETM/видео.html The main riff (which uses an ascending dim. 7) has a bittersweet emotional tonality that I really like. It was challenging to retain that tone while using descending and auxiliary dim. 7s because they often came out sounding “too happy”, but I’m pleased with it for the most part.
Thank you for these videos! Another concept I read on the internet is as that each chord tone of a fully diminished can resolve up a half step to the next note. So rather than a diminished resolving to one chord, it could lead to 4. BDFAb for example could lead up to a: C, Eb, F#, or A (and minor or major).
Yes! It’s nice to see this answer on here, you are absolutely right. The reason for this is that a diminished chord is also a dominant7b9 chord without a rootnote. So in your example it can act like a Bb7b9, Db7b9 etc. The most common chord change is V-I, like Bb7b9 - Eb. A whole new meaning and use of dim chords opened up once I realized this
hahah I love the fulidity of your video. Everything FITS. It adds so much to the 'power' of your video. The constant drum, and sound effects. oh oh oh perfect. Thanks for the clean explination.

If there are any particular types of content you'd like to see from me in the future, let me know in the comments!
Damn this was really informative! I was litteraly just trying to do this in a beat i was making with a vocal sample i recorded but i couldn’t figure it out but now that makes more sense using a formula until i can memorize it! Im going to print that sheet out
1:17 At first I thought this sounded a lot like the progression from Breathe by Pink Floyd but that is actually a D7#9 to D7b9 to E-. It's in the same key though and the D#dim7 has a lot of the same notes as a D7b9 (it has the b9, 3rd, 5th and 7th)
Let's see what we've learnt so far. Imaj7 bVII°7 | VI-7 bVImaj7 | V-7 | bVmaj7 IV-7 | VI°7 | subV/VI VI7(V/II) | II7 subV7 | Imaj7 I°7 Imaj7 Thanks for the videos Myles, really enjoyable and easy to digest, glad to see that modal interchange video I loved so much has turned into a series. Edit: If you want a specific key, I love it in G.
Very enjoyable and informative videos! I just started working on learning more about theory after I grew tired of the rock and blues genres and wanted to learn theory, as well as widen my interest with jazz and American standards. At my guitar lesson yesterday the instructor mentioned tritone substitution. I then found your lesson on tritones and followed it up with intermodal relationships and now this one. You are doing great work! Thank you!!
tus videos son excelentes, con el primero que hiciste, pensé que no ibas a hacer mas, pero la forma en como los haces; son muy buenos y queda claro su contenido.
There are only 3 different diminished 7 chords. By that I mean there are only 3 different note combinations to make a diminished 7 chord. For instance, Myles lead the D#dim7 into E, because E is a half step about the root D#. But D#dim7 (D#, F#, A, C) are the same notes in F#dim7 (F#, A, C, D#) , Adim7 (A, C, D#, F#), and Cdim7 (C, D#, F#, A). So you could by the same logic resolve to G, Bb, or Db.

Really wish these had continued... most approachable music theory I've found
"They're extremely dark and unstable, this makes them extremely useful" well... it's my time to shine
My butthole is unstable, it is proven to be useful
@TheAstronomyNoob logic, my dear friend
I have diarrhea

underrated comment

Thank you, professor! You can probably tell I was a Berklee kid myself 😁
Hope you can consider to restart producing music content in 2024, Myles.
Is this going to be semi-regular?? I'm absolutely loving it. We've truly been blessed.
Glad to hear it! Yeah, 2 new videos each month from now on!
That's great! Will post my exercise here in the next few days, by the way. Excited to watch more!
That's way too long :/ but these are quality videos and I'm sure you're busy teaching people one-on-one anyway...Great Stuff! You made me a fan because of your modal interchange video and had been wanting more since
Man this is the best music teaching ever seen! Really inspiring!
That modal interchange video is a masterpiece!
Thanks for the videos!
@@MusicWithMyles :(
2 videos in one month? We must be lucky. Thank you Miles!
Music with Myles You are a godsend, I love for this stuff lmao
@@MusicWithMyles rip
Music with Myles rip
@@MusicWithMyles Mylessss please upload againnn
@@MusicWithMyles you hearted my reply... is that a hint ")

Oh my god I think I need to switch out my underwear. Your Modal Interchange video has continued to be the *absolute* gold standard for me to measure music theory videos against. Thankie for the content.
I'm gonna go get set on that chord progression!
These videos are so well made and informative, I love them. I made this with it :D
D7 - G - G#dim7 - A7 - Adim7 - A7 - A#dim 7 - A7 - G#dim7 - G6 or em7 - D7
very cool to use the dim7 chords as part of a dominant chain!
Too much tensiiiion!! I liked it :D all we need is sone crazy melody on top of it.
Change the last D7 to simplest possible G major and you arrive at the station.
Love these, perfect mix of theory explanation and actual contextual examples without getting bogged down by trying to sound too smart.
After your "Modal Interchange" video, I knew you were the one. I dunno how you do it, but these videos are so interesting and fun to watch honestly. LOVE THESE!!!!
Music with Miles will take you... MILES
Am - Am/G - Faug7 - Edim7 - Eb - Bb7 - Bdim7 - E7 - Fmaj7#11 - F#dim7 - Bb/F - E7 - ( Am )
I love your video and they really help me as a music student - cheers from Israel!
Great explanation, thank you
Hands down best short form music theory channel on the site, Incredible!
Resolving to a major tonic from a diminished chord is so satisfying 😂
I really like the little writing prompt bit at the end
This video is quick and easy to understand. Thank you so much!
This is an absolutely revolutionary approach to teaching music theory. Playing examples in real time with a visual and audible explanation is extremely helpful. More, Myles, MORE!!! Cheers!
May God Bless You Miles
Please keep making these - Incredible.
Omg yes! I love your work! And the intro! Love it!
Wonderful explanation! Thank you!
The first video I saw of you I knew I had to instantly subscribe. And even though I don't at all know how these work haha, I still watch these videos cause you explain them in a fun way.
I just want you to know, in case that you're still there, that your instructional videos are pure GOLD. Only a few, but every second of them save you hours diggin onto RUclips junk. So much quality...thank you man, i'm very grateful
These are absolutely incredible
Still SUCH a big fan of these videos! Please keep em coming!
Incredibly helpful video ! Thank you for sharing !
Music with passing diminished 7th has been and will be always my cup of tea.
God, these videos are so well made. The aesthetic is the best.
Your videos are amazing! Congrats
DUDE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL
At 2:24 the little “beeps” you hear listing each prompt are actually a diminished chord, just arpeggiated!!
You are sooooo good at teaching!
I'm happy because you are uploading videos again, thanks.
As someone who loves music theory but also has a short attention span, your videos really help me retain what I learn. The commentary style and text animations make it fun and easy to watch. Can't wait for more
Your video is really informative and I believe you put a lot of time to create one, thanks for the video Myles
PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ,THIS IS AMAZING! :D
Awesome video. I always try to implement diminished chords into my progressions and this has just widened my perspective! Thank you!
make more videos man goddamn. Best musical education videos i came across, and now i find out you only made a few vids. Would really love to see more of your stuff
This is a great video to watch before delving into stuff like the 6th Diminished scale. Thanks!
man this video is amazing. very helpful, you’re a savior
Thanks for keeping this series up :)
Awesome style! I could listen your lessons as tunes!
Your videos have impeccable style. Love how the entire video has one continuous drum beat and how the demonstrations use that beat.
Here’s what I came up with:
ruclips.net/video/nP628ZYSETM/видео.html
The main riff (which uses an ascending dim. 7) has a bittersweet emotional tonality that I really like. It was challenging to retain that tone while using descending and auxiliary dim. 7s because they often came out sounding “too happy”, but I’m pleased with it for the most part.
This is very informative. I study music on my own and I keep coming back to this, all the time! Thank you for this! Please make more of these videos!
You're the fucking king my man. These videos are amazing.
Only thing that is missing is the fact they are symmetrical, which can open up some great key changes.
Thank you for these videos!

You're saving lives from falling into depression with these brilliant videos Myles, I hope you know that. :)
loved the inclusion of the writing prompt at the end, really encourages me to go write something with this haha
i usually used them just resolving up because thats how it made sense to me but knowing other ways is pretty nice, thanks!
i always wondered what that sound was and i finally found it thank you so much!!!
Dude, keep these videos coming. They're among the best ones I've ever seen around here, thank you so much!
already a new video?? cooooolll I'm loving it :)
This very helpful thank you
Another cool video, thanks ^^
oh my gosh descending dim7 sounds so goofy i love it
Brilliant!
HOLY SHIT YOUR VIDEOS ARE GOLD DUDE
amazing concept, keep doing that.
Tus vídeos han sido de mucha ayuda para mi, gracias por compartir tus conocimientos con nosotros 😎
☀🗄☑🔵Thank you !

These videos are the best out there. Keep up the good work man!
please make more videos... this is amazing..

Yay! You decided to keep up the good work!
Love this channel!
Love how you make these videos. Keep it up!
-fan of diminished chords
I love this groove and how the lesson follows it. Keep going, man!
Please make more of these vids bro. Chief said this is IT ;-;
thankss for share,
Love your videos! I'll be sure to play around with these ideas!
Really interesting thank you so much !
Might be cool if you use the technique you're talking about in the generic and explain how you created it at the end of the video 😉
Thank you
1:17 At first I thought this sounded a lot like the progression from Breathe by Pink Floyd but that is actually a D7#9 to D7b9 to E-. It's in the same key though and the D#dim7 has a lot of the same notes as a D7b9 (it has the b9, 3rd, 5th and 7th)
Thank you so much for your videos
You really help my stressed out brain warm back into music studies
You are amazing
neat. would love to watch a bit more into the thing, as this is a great introduction even tho it barely scratches the surface
I loved that video, mate!
Awesome!
Nice touch making the bullet points after 2:25 a rolled diminished chord :p
These vids are really well done,, wish i found this in school
Your videos are great:)
More theory videos please!!! So helpful
Let's see what we've learnt so far.
Imaj7 bVII°7 | VI-7 bVImaj7 | V-7 | bVmaj7 IV-7 | VI°7 | subV/VI VI7(V/II) | II7 subV7 | Imaj7 I°7 Imaj7
Thanks for the videos Myles, really enjoyable and easy to digest, glad to see that modal interchange video I loved so much has turned into a series.
Edit: If you want a specific key, I love it in G.
Very enjoyable and informative videos! I just started working on learning more about theory after I grew tired of the rock and blues genres and wanted to learn theory, as well as widen my interest with jazz and American standards. At my guitar lesson yesterday the instructor mentioned tritone substitution. I then found your lesson on tritones and followed it up with intermodal relationships and now this one. You are doing great work! Thank you!!
AWESOME

great stuff!! would love some private lessons...
There are only 3 different diminished 7 chords. By that I mean there are only 3 different note combinations to make a diminished 7 chord. For instance, Myles lead the D#dim7 into E, because E is a half step about the root D#. But D#dim7 (D#, F#, A, C) are the same notes in F#dim7 (F#, A, C, D#) , Adim7 (A, C, D#, F#), and Cdim7 (C, D#, F#, A). So you could by the same logic resolve to G, Bb, or Db.
Incorporating rythm to your videos was the best guess you could have, I think that if someday I become a music teacher I'm gonna do it as well
