    It’s like borrowing chords from the key of C minor, because Eb is the relative major of C minor, which means you’re basically playing the progression but instead of resolving to Cm or Eb, you’re doing C major, which is kind of a Picardy third effect.

      There's truth to this, but notice that there's the extra step of using root tones a third higher. Using just the relative chords (modal interchange) wouldn't involve that.

      @@ryan_raus It is a type of modal interchange, but with an extra leap of a third up. A modal interchange of FM7 might be Fm7, but in this example we would also move a third up, so FM7 would become AbM7, which is a bit different.

      You don't have to write "m" or "major" when using Roman numerals, you just make minor chords lowercase and major chords uppercase. Also b7 in the way you wrote it could mean so many different things. Do you mean VII, like a major chord from the 7th degree? Do you mean bVII, a major chord from the b7th? Learning the proper notation is important!

      @@soulcraftloopsthanks, I’ve been watching this video on repeat trying to figure out how moving a minor third happens at all. I guess what I’m confused about is which part of what he’s doing is the minor third, is he just doing chords WITH. A minor third, aka aeolian like you said, or is he referring to intervals? But in trying the question out I think I get it now. Now to translate to guitar.
      But yeah, if you have any clarification that would be so awesome! 🤘🎶

    • @soulcraftloops
      @soulcraftloops 3 месяца назад +4

      ​@@Melodysmic Sure! Theory can boggle the mind at times can be overwhelming but try and simplify this concept a bit. Don't overthink the minor third too much. You only need it to establish the key you are GOING to modulate into.
      Here's how I think about it...
      First you need the progression like Adam's examples here 2-5-1
      Ok so in Cmaj our 2-5-1 would be:
      Dminor, G7, Cmaj. Because Eb is the minor third of C, we simply move the 2 and the 5 UP a minor third to Eb.
      So the 2 and 5 of Eb is Fmin, Bb.
      So our progression now looks like this.
      Fmin, Bb, Cmaj.
      We are still in the key of C right? So instead of using Eb's tonic we go back to Cmaj after playing the Fminor and Bb. That's what he means when he is saying move everything up a minor third EXCEPT for the tonic.
      I think its easier to explain this when a progression starts on the tonic. So lets say we have 1-4-5-6 in the key of C.
      Play that first to establish the home key in your ear. Cmaj, Fmaj, G7, Amin.
      Then play it again starting on Cmaj then modulating to Eb's 4-5-6 ( Abmaj, Bb7, Cminor) then back to Cmaj.
      Basically keep that 1 (Cmaj) then pluck the 4-5-6 out of the Eb major scale and replace Cmaj's 4-5-6 with Eb's before going back to the C.
      When you know your scale of chords in all keys you can then replace a 4 with another key's four. But you have to know each scale very well to do it on the fly. So, per my original recommendation, learn that very well first!
      What's cool about this is it's not only the minor third you can modulate into. You can even modulate into say, the Flat 6! (Ab major in the key of C)
      I hope that makes sense and I didnt over complicate things more. Text can be hard to describe theory. But dont hesitate to ask me anything at all! Im a total nerd for it all and wont shut up about it... as you can see. Happy practicing! :)

    That's essentially what the Picardy 3rd does, but in a more modal sense (minor V instead of a dominant V chord). Basically you're drawing all your chords for the parallel natural minor key accent the I chord which remains major or even Lydian if you want. And that's strictly using the diatonic application. I wonder if and how well it works applied to secondary dominants, tritone substitutions, and on. Would be interesting to experiment with!

    This is one basic use of the diminished matrix. You can go wild with it and change any number of chords in a progression, with chords of the same quality a minor third up, or down, or a tritone away. ie: any number of minor thirds away. Mix and match and can get endless reharmonizations.
