    What an amazing tutorial, so clear and on point - it doesn't get any better than this. Your way of showing how to immediately apply that stuff in musical context is fantastic. Your way of showing and demonstrating it makes music theory real fun. So much that I'd love to see a complete course on applied music theory from you in the future ;-) Thanks so much Jack!

    Can someone answer this for me? How is the 5 of Dm an A dominant 7th chord? I thought the minor diatonic chords were minor 7, half diminished, maj7, min 7, min7, maj7, dom7.
    Does he mean that regardless of the quality of the 1 chord, alter the V to make it dominant?

  • @trampley
    @trampley 2 года назад +1

    A very clear explanation of something that has confused me for a long time, thanks. Is this something you only do when composing progressions, or can you imply these secondary dominants soloing over less complex progressions? For example, I'm a bluegrass guy, dead simple harmonies, if I'm going from the I to the V will it sound right if I play the secondary dominant of the V over the last bar or half bar of the I resolving to that dominant?
