There seems to be a relationship in similarity and contrast in chord types. A dense colorful chord full of extensions can sound out of place preceeding a simple triad, but can also work sometimes if contrast is desired. Like triads in a verse, 7ths++ in the chorus.
Excellent video as always. I have personally spent a bit of time with some of these fancy chords and think that the solving of the 'mystery' of whatever key you end up in along with whether one decides if it's gonna be major or minor and so on, is some of the best fun going on the old interwebs. Anyhow, I enjoyed this and continue to enjoy all your videos immensely. All the best Cheers
Magnificent...... i am still on the path of visualizing chord harmonization.....but this is the kind of analysis i dream of. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing this breakdown 💪🏽😎🎼🎸🎶
Something that bands like Marilion or Dream Theater would do: write sections that modulate around that fancy chord. Intro in B, verse in C#m, chorus in E, with B6add11 as the pivot among all of them.
What is YOUR favorite "fancy chord" progression? Write it here:
wrote it down on the inside of my shorts. brb. just have to figure out which pair it was

That progression in C#m is juicy!
It also has a modal feel, with the open B and E strings ringing.
Very useful, I'll share this with some of my students, thanks!

lol, I had this question too, and the answer is so easy. Thanks!

With Modal Interchange usually you'll see a minor or major chord being used, but a fancy chord could be borrowed too right?
yes :-)
_"It's in my shorts"_ Annnd..impending jokes foiled before they even had a chance to be formulated. lols
Excellent
thanks for content (:
Very good method, although it won't work with chords derived from scales different from the major (ie. diminished, whole tone, etc)
This is a first step, though. And of course, you can use chords derived from the diminished scale with other chords from the diminshed scale, etc
Killer of giants.
Fantastic song.
And then you try this with all the inversions of your original chord…
Warning: Risk of serious brain damage ahead! 😁
🥱
Really good. Thanks.
