    As one of you mentioned there should be two important corrections to the video:
    1. When adding the fourth note to the chords the 7th one becomes a minor7flat 5. So in this case a Bm7dim. Instead of a Bdim7. Which makes it that adding even one note on top of that makes it an bm7b5b9. But again. This chord isn't used a lot as the 7th chord in a chord progression.
    2. When adding the 5th note to the third chord it becomes a minor7flat9. So in this case an Em7b9. Instead of a Em9.
    Also i might not have stressed this enough, but in a lot of song the key of the chord progressions changes. So the verse can ofcourse be in a different key than the chorus. Even within a chord progressions you can change keys. Giant steps by John Coltrane is a famous and extreme example of changing keys in a song.
    Thank you guys for noticing and if you have any questions let me know :)

      I mostly agree though the correct name for the B-chord is Bm7b5 instead of Bm7dim, because dim is usually considered as two minor thirds stacked on top of each other, which means using minor and dim in the same chord seems excessive. But anyways loved the video!

(im 21 now) I was in lessons for a few years at that age and learned very simple stuff 12 notes in music, eadgbe, simple chords, tablature, and intros to simple songs. Since then ive been mostly self taught through you tube, and djent let me say, thank you so much. your videos have taught me more in a few days than almost every other channel combined over the years.
