Hey Christopher, great explanation! Loved your example and your voice! Been watching your library showcases for a while too. Thank you for putting all this effort making amazing content!

[@ChristopherSiu]

Awesome, thank you!

[@georgesember9069]

I’ve been trying to “get” this material. Your lesson is very clear and well done! Thank you for posting! This actually gives me a shot at incorporating this material into my solo guitar arranging for my nylon string classical guitar that I play a couple of hours a day. I’m 81 and retired and have some time to work on new material!!

[@ChristopherSiu]

I’m so glad this was helpful. Thank you so much for the kind words!!

[@dafingaz]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the video. Secondary dominants are awesome. I use it all the time for the typical super hero feeling. For example. Am, F, D.

[@ChristopherSiu]

Thanks for sharing!

That's just Dorian: i - (III) - IV.

Welcome 😊

It would be easier to simply move two semitones up from the root and play that major chord.
