    I was sick on the day that we learned this in theory class so I have just been confused for the past two weeks. My friends haven't been able to explain it really effectively so I've felt pretty stuck. This was such a huge help, I REALLY appreciate it, thank you so much!

    half dim 7 just sounds like a minor chord with a maj 6 added. But nothing sounds like a dim 7. :) or a pure augmented chord. interesting stuff.

    • @twinicebear775
      @twinicebear775 2 года назад

      yes, that is how it's used more commonly. for example, an Fm6 in C major, I-iv6-I. An example of this is Chopin's Nocturne in A flat major. Opening chords are Ab-Db-Dbm6-Ab, or I-IV-iv6-I :D very nice sounding chord, it's actually the negative harmony of a V7 chord, making it have very large gravity to the root!

    • @kpec3

      the half dim 7th chord occurs naturally in the 7 chord, ie bdfa in C major. (b dim 7th)

  • @oldestgamer

    Helpful videos for sure, however, when you broke down the seventh using an F#, why was that not a raised tone or augmented tone? Is that because it was an F, and would the same apply C? Thanks

  • @kpec3
    @kpec3 2 года назад

    Is there a name for a minor triad with a major third on top, ie aceg# ?

  • @michaelkleyman9911
    @michaelkleyman9911 5 лет назад +2

    quick question what do you mean when you say stack them up in thirds?

    • @Oddquartet
      @Oddquartet  5 лет назад +3

      Sometimes the notes of a chord are all spread out. So to make it easier to read the chord, you can stack the notes in thirds. For example, if you have a C in the bass clef, an F in the treble, and a C above the treble staff. You can stack them as FAC to see that it is an F major chord. The distance btw F & A is a third and the distance btw A & C is a third.

    Is a fully diminished 7th chord the same as a diminished triad with a 6th then?

    • @nsq2487
      @nsq2487 4 года назад +1

      Yes, but the interval is called a double flatted seventh and not a sixth because then it would be a sixth chord

  • @vinehere
    @vinehere 4 года назад +1

    wait if you use your right hand do you do finger 1,2,3 and 5?

    • @Oddquartet
      @Oddquartet  4 года назад

      It depends on the chord and how it lands on the keyboard. 1,2,3,5 works well and sometimes I use 1,2,3,4.

    at 4:29 how did you indicate that the F was Sharp if there was no Sharp symbol next to it

    how u identify them

  • @morkessler2456
    @morkessler2456 3 года назад +1

    You forgot to mention minor Major 7th chord, which has a minor triad with a Major 7th together

    I cannot understand your tuning. Was this video slightly sped up? Confusing my brain! But well presented!

  • @pmurrTEST
    @pmurrTEST 6 месяцев назад

    I’m lost on how you identify the root, but no one else seems to be confused so guess I’m just missing something

  • @aqua3418

    Aren't these just tetrachords?

    • @dakotawallace5921
      @dakotawallace5921 Год назад

      like why aren’t all of them seventh chords? how can he identify that first one is despite the beat right before it has the same bass note just a different higher note? so many questions i don’t understand

    0:41 It's really funny how It pops to my mind __when you say that the other chords are less common__ that The MUSIC industry is focusing on a fucking boring same SUBJECTs and unethical ones!! What I mean by unethical is that It ignores that ART is responsible for raising awareness, teaching ethical principles and values and talking about Things that's happening in the other part of the world even if we don't belong to it but we are human and all humans are alike in that they are so! The music of today is really starting to bore me So I stop listening as I feel so absurd! Music is not for entertainment It has a very important role which is Teaching and Raising awareness of the Society. And Religion Principles as well. The Western Societies are really good but they have one problem is that they completely forgot about Allah/God. And Eastern or Arab Societies do not forget about religion but MISUNDERSTAND IT and thus are So Radical! Religion not this nor that Religion is simpler than this AND IT IS NOR RADICAL NOR EXTREME! ONE THING TO ADD ABOUT THE TWO SOCIETIES IS THAT THE FIRST ARE SO EXTREMELY FREE and the SECOND IS SO EXTREMELY NOT FREE! whereas freedom religiously has to be MODERATE. NOT too much free nor too much unfree!!
