Thanks

I was honestly struggling so much with seventh chords in my music theory class and I think this video explained it better than my teacher ever did. I understand seventh chords so much better now in 8 minutes than I did in several classes.
motivation mateee
Of course
The G minor 7 is a beautiful chord
G7? KING ME! KING ME!
All chords are beautiful.
@@danwest9900 Yeah all chords are beautiful in correct context:)
@@karvakeisari9359 Yes, thank you for clarifying what I wrote. The context (or call it sequencing) of the chords is what drives songs and muscial pieces.
@@danwest9900 some chords particulaly strike a resonance with different people, in different states of mind or emotion. When you are writing , you tune into this, and when you are listening you tune into it, especially strongly if it matches your resonance at that time, and also you will go crazy for it if it matches your dominant resonance. That is what I have discovered. It may only make sense to a few , but thats ok.😊👍🏼💫💫💫
3:25 "You take my breath away". Always loved the minor 7th. One of my favorites. Excellent video by the way.
I see that you're a man of culture as well.
Yesss Queen....also hi Riccardo!
I’ve lived my life calling a dominant 7 a diminished 7. Thanks video
Now you know 😀
Hahahha I instead thought the major seventh was the dominant seventh

Hahaha i was teaching my younger sister to play piano and taught her to play diminished 7 before passing over to the 4th chord, and now I realise I was meant to call it dominant 7 🤦♂️
I’ll correct her tomorrow night and if she asks... I’ll just say that she heard me wrong lol
Holy shit I've lived 28 years of my life not really sure how to get the 7th chords on the piano but this video just made it all so clear
This video is the perfect Music Theory Explanation for dummies. Clear explanation. Great Visualisation. Soothing Voice. Just amazing. This video is absolutely perfect, Thank you very much, mate!!!
I’ve been playing piano for eight years and can play all these chords I just don’t know all the technical names for them which makes me sound stupid a lot of times smh

It's fine. I know all of the technical stuff and memorize all of the names etc but don't know how to play the piano lmao. I only produce music with DAWs
im exactly the same way but on guitar. im currently tryna learn piano.
This was great, thanks, been searching for "left hand chords piano" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Nonason Ranincoln Genie - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )?
It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering how to play the piano like a pro minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.
I'm learning this for guitar but it's insane to see how intuitive the piano is for this kind of stuff. With the guitar, I've begun to think about how to reach notes relatively (I'm probably an early intermediate player), but with the piano it has this linear way of looking at it your notes, whereas with guitar I can reach higher notes either from top to bottom or left to right, as opposed to left to right alone which just seems like it makes more sense.

this helped a lot with my music theory! thank you!!!
Thank you for this. I was learning these with my teacher today but he talks too much and I ended up being really confused. You have made it so easy and clear, it all makes sense now. Thank you
Great video. I'd actually be curious to know, what are the chords in the intro? They're so hauntingly beautiful.
Excellent, I finally get it. Thank you!😊
Got a quiz tomorrow that I didn’t study for enough ahead of time, thanks for explaining so well and so concisely!
No worries! Hope you're quiz went well 😀
It did, you’re a godsend!
wow! i search a long time to find a simple explanation like yours! THANK you
My pleasure bro! Glad I could be of use :)
PianoPig is there also a Tutorial for 9th and 11th chords ?
I made a video on 9ths a while back! Check out it here: ruclips.net/video/JUEQRiOhM8A/видео.html
there are 9th and 11th chords... guess I'm gonna fail
Your explanations on all videos are superb..
Thanks!
The minor 7 flat five can also be called half dim 7 and also dim m7/diminished minor 7th.
At 2:15, what does “the fifth below mean”? Is it referring to the circle of fifths?
@@lieutenantgodzilla F is the 4th chord of C, the fith is probably relative to the Bb at the top of the C dominant 7 chord
Man this is such a great lesson. Cleared up a lot for me. Thank you!!
beginner question - for the 7 diatonic notes in the C major scale
the 1st 4th and 5th are usually played as major chords C F G
the 2nd 3rd and 6th are usually played as minors Dm Em and Am.
But what chord is usually played for that 7th note in the scale?
I have seen a B7 substituted but whatever that chord is.
Thanks - and I don't play keyboard, but it helps me in understanding music that I play on my guitar. Please explain in plain English - I am not a music major or even a music minor
or even a music 7th (a little musical joke there).
Thx this is useful for worship, praise and grove in the world
Amazing video. It's so much easier to compose now. Thank you so much!
Man, you're a Saint! Love your lessons 💞 Bless you 💝!
Much appreciated! 🙏🏻
Maybe I didn't notice in this video, but it is good to be mentioned that dominant 7th chords are made from the V note of the scale they belong and in which they tend to resolve. So the C dominant 7 chord belongs to F major scale. You can make dominant 7th chord in any major or minor scale, except natural minor because it does not have leading note, so you must transform it in to melodic or harmonic minor.
Thank you so much, bro! I just discovered your channel a little bit back and videos like these have helped me so much to learn a little more about theory.
Thank you very much for your great lesson. It is very helpful..🙏🌹🌹🙏
Great! You suggested learning all 12-keys. Should we also practice learning different ways to play each chord? E.g. a C chord could be played starting with C or E or G. I mix these quite randomly, and funnily the same song could start and end differently each time. Don't know if that is good or bad practice. Is some rotation custom with these? Or is the way you played the best sounding and most common way? If so...learning 12-keys will be more managable. Thanks again :-)
this is good practice, you just inverting the chords, i am going to first learn the root position i think and if i know them the inversion. but theres nothing wrong with it!
Very helpful==great lesson!
Fantastic lesson. Kept simple, very well explained, no bullshit. Thank you for this!
You are AWESOME DUDE!
Yhis was a perfect explanation. Thanks so much!
Now I just need to know how to work out what chord resolve to like you showed 😅
Perfect explanation, finally I understand the 7th chords: after more than 10 years struggling trying to understand it. Thank you so much!🥰🥰🥰
That’s great to hear! Glad you found it useful 🙂
Did you say "Dummies?" Well, here I am. I just subscribed, too. Great videos!!
Thanks sir with your simple explanation I've understand this type of chords
Thank you for this dumbed Down totorial
No worries!
Wow this has really explained 7th chords which I was really struggling with, thank you.
major 7th chords always sound so NICCEEEEEEEE
the minute you began playing those D-seventh chords, my heart jumped.
D minor speaks to me! Lmao
The name PianoPig just made me laugh outloud, well done!
friendship with simple triads ended
now minor 7th chords is my best friend
Such great videos - you have an excellent teaching style...
This was incredibly helpful, thank you!
I respect soo much sir, I’m really a big fan
Thanks bro, I learned a lot from this video, now to make some more Deep House!
Reading the part: “For Dummies” and I knew this was for me. Who else?
Great lesson, thanks! Still wonder how come my teachers missed to teach this.
My pleasure :) Glad you are enjoying the lessons! I find with teachers, sometimes it is better to ask them to teach you what you want to learn rather than let them teach you what they want to... but I don't know you're current situation, just a tip :)
This is so much fun to learn! 🙌🙌💕
Hi there, again :) I have an interesting question about a note between the fifths and the seventh. for example on the c major scale with a triad, instead of taking the g as the fifth I take the a as the sixth note and the chord sounds really harmonic for me and wants to be resolved. You can hear it you you play c-e-a and then c-e-g or c-eb-a and then c-eb-g. can you explain it a bit?
The interesting thing is: it also sounds the same on the c minor scale. but the note of a is not included in the c major or minor scale, so why does it sound so god? what is the secret behind that sixth or is there any link to another scale or progression I don't know? that would be very helpful.
The note A is very much in the C major scale, it's also in the C minor melodic scale. The 6th is a great extension to add onto chords, works with both major and minor. I love the 'minor 6/9' chord, it's very 'James Bond' sounding haha.
wow thank you very much! i was just thinking in the minor scale, of COURSE it is in the major haha. but you explained it very well!
C E A is just A minor with a C in the bass, then C E G is of course C. iv - I chord progressions are very common so I don't think there is "tension" like with a V7 I progression, it's just natural since were used to it. V7 has a lot of tension because there is a diminished 5th (aka tritone) between the 3rd and 7th, like with B and F in a G7 which resolves to C and E
It is so clear and so helpful! thank you, thank you!
Great video, so helpful and clear.
Hats off to another honest artist ❤(,.)
Very very very useful. Thank you.
EXCELLENT!!!!
Highly appreciated! 🇯🇲
Thank you sir...
It's really great
Got the idea clearly ❤
when you played the c major 7th cord, it confused me when you played the g major 7th because you added a g flat.
Great video PianoPig I just started watching your videos a few days ago oh man you can't imagine How I'm feeling this is just right what I've looking for. Hope you get more views and subscribers which is what you deserved. Looking forward to it.
P.S I don't usually comment let's say this is an exception. Greeting from El Salvador you just got a new subscriber
Great tutorial. Thank you. Well explained.
Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge!! This was great!!
Thank you for your clear, concise, informative video. I am going to do this practice now!!!
Very helpful, and clearly explained. Thanks.
That would create a song in and of itself!!!
Nice, well done!
What you mean "wants to resolve to F chord"? Why there specifically? (am clueless about theory)
seems really scary to learn theory/piano, to have to remember all of those combinations :f
Isn't the 5th of C not F but G? So would Cdominant7 resolve to G as well?
This is great thank you.
i found a lot of value in this video ... thank you for sharing .
Thanks dude! I have a tiny brain and I cannot learn things immediately but I learned alot in thid video. I finally don't feel stupid
this video helped me so much, like i had no clue what my teacher was saying😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks for the vid! - so playing these sevenths involves four notes each, but I don't imagine you play all 4 notes every time, what notes do you try and leave out if you are unburdening your hand some? Is there some guideline on that? Thanks
@stephen285 - Good question; I hope someone answers. I struggle with playing four-note chords, and inverting them sometimes sounds weird. I wonder which interval is the best to omit if I need to.
Great video, really helped me
Best piano lesson ever.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is simple, clear and makes it so easy for me as a beginner! Yet I've got one question. When you say at 02:15 that the "Cdominant7 is an unstable sound and wants to resolve to the 5th below" why is it "F"? Isn't G number 5 in the scale of C? Thanks for your help :-)
C is the 5th of F. It can be confusing to start with, but you just have to ask yourself 'what note has the note C has the 5th?'. Hope this helps!
I am also a beginner. I figured a trick out for this "unresolved" sound. The fourth note in the key of C is F. The F major chord resolves the C7. The patter is the same across all dominant 7 chords, from my notes. If you play a D7, you would then play a G major chord to resolve the D7. G is the fourth note in the key of D Major. If you play an F7, you would play an A# Major to resolve it. A# is the fourth note is the key of F Major. It really is phenomenal how much math and patterns go into music theory. This pattern ties into the circle of fifths and the circle of fourths.
@@ethanfink7962 thnx for this comment!
just as scenery...visual landscape of the keyboard lends itself to pattern-recognition... so too linguistic-naming aligns a certain rational understanding to these visual patterns... ‘middle-c’ is named for the stave-line (floating) on the scripted page... or sheet music... between the 5x lines of the upper-register and the 5x lines of the lower-register...
building a ‘stack’ of notes with the middle-c stave-line as the anchor of the stack... (or call it... the ‘root-note’)... building the stack in equal/opposite directions... where the notes fall evenly under the fingers and aligned with the evenly spaced stave-lines of the manuscript staves... upper-register/treble to the right... lower-register/base to the left... physically pianists experience the notes under the fingers of each hand in the same symmetrical way... the little finger of each hand aligning 5x scale-tones away from the ‘root-note’ under the thumb... and looking at the sheet-music... the script-notation shows the notes played marking the even-spaced-lines in each of the directions of upper-register and lower-register symmetrically from middle-c floating stave-line... to verbalise the sensation of this experience... there are 4x levels in play here... (1) visually on the keyboard, (2) visually on the sheet-music-staves, (3) physically under the pianists hands, (4) aurally in ear/mind...
‘dominant’ describes the note under the little-finger in both directions of each hand... in the direction of the upper-register, by convention called the ‘dominant’ (plain & simply)... in the direction of the lower-register, by convention called the ‘sub-dominant’... but interestingly congruent with all 4x levels in play mentioned above...
the prefix ‘sub’ indicates the area (domain) experienced (sub) under the left-hand... indicates the ‘lower-register’ under or ‘sub-middle-c’ on the sheet-music... indicates visually the opposite direction... indicates aurally what’s heard by ear/mind... both are ‘dominant’ in both pitch/sound... so one of them for naming-purposes (and to fix the different aural-experience in its ‘quality-of-sound’) is perfectedly indicated by the prefix ‘sub’...
then from the ‘root’ note (tonic) ‘middle-c’ :
the middle note in the direction of the right-hand... in upper-register... lying under the middle-finger is the ‘mediant’... middle-note
the middle note in the left-hand... in lower-register... the ‘sub-mediant’...
the only notes remaining un-described.. or ‘named’... completing the 7-tone major-scale:
the note between the ‘root’ or ‘tonic’ and the ‘mediant’... is named... ‘super-tonic’ (above the ‘tonic’ in the right-hand upper-register)
the note between the ‘root’/‘tonic’ and the ‘sub-mediant’... is named... ‘sub-tonic’ (below the ‘tonic’ in the left-hand lower-register)
and the rest is... rests... they’re a whole different matter 🎶
I know this is late, but the F is a fifth below the C, or the subdominant, while G is a fifth above C, which is the dominant. I think it's called a dominant 7th because since it resolves to a fifth below, the chord is generally in the key of the dominant of the piece.
With a dominant 7th chord, you said it wants to sound resolved on the 5th below? But a F is the 4th in C maj. Am i missing something?
TYSM!!!!
THANks this was really informative and helpfull
Should the G flat in g maj 7 not be a F sharp ?? otherwise you would have 2 Gs in the scale.
2:18 "Wants resolve to the 5th below" could you please explain this?
this was so useful THANK YOU!!
You are awesome sir! Thanks
Thank you!!!! Exams due and now I get it!!!! 👍🏼💕🎶🎶🎶🎶
Take 3steps back from Eb maj to get the Cnatural minor
Thanks so much!
Awesome, thank you!
hi im very new to music theory and im doing some self studie. But what i dont understand is if you double flatten the 7th in the Diminished 7th chord, why doesnt it become a 6th sinds it just moved back 1?
Nicely explained
Thank You!
Wonderful! Thanks a lot.
Nice lesson, very nice.
So a dominant 7 chord is just a major 7 chord with a minor 3rd stacked on the 5th of the major 7?
No, a dominant 7 chord is a major triad with a minor 3rd stacked on the 5th degree of the triad.
@@Piano_Pig Ah, I was confused even by my own comment. Thanks for clarifying!
Wonderful lesson. Thank you. Any chance that we can get this same type of lesson for 9th chords?
I did make a similar lesson on 9ths, not quite as in-depth but still gives you an overview: ruclips.net/video/JUEQRiOhM8A/видео.html
cMaj 7 makes sense by adding the 7th. Why do you flatten it for a dominant? What is the scale theory for this? Tired of people saying you flatten the 7th. Why? Flatting a 3rd gives you a minor because that's how the scale degrees will line up. Why are you flatting a 7th?
It's based on the Mixolydian scale. The Mixolydian scale is the same as the major but with a flat 7.
yes but no one ever says that. When I was learning this stuff I always had those questions and I never liked people saying you do something without explaining why. I see that is still happening.
@@reaper7264 you flatten it to get the tension sound. It's a different sound from Maj7. You use one or the other depending on the song or the type of sound you're trying to achieve.
Thanks for putting this together.
I can understand your videos! Thank you!
Jazz Police is a song written by Leonard Cohen inspired by him instructing or policing his band NOT to play jazz chords with sevenths and ninths and to stick to playing simple triads as he preferred. Just an interesting fact 😊
Thank You Sir ...🎹🎶🎵🎙
I've been told you can transfer the 7th note to the other side, at the beginning. How usefull is that in future plays?
I play music by ear mostly. I'm trying to understand the system for naming chords, but I cannot undertand why a chord labeled "C7" flattens the major 7th, but a chord labeled C9 doesn't flatten the 9th. Is there any sort of logic to it, or is it just some random kink you just are supposed to remember?
Thank you 🤗
