I've been binging your videos the last couple days. You're such a good teacher. You explain what can often be confusing and complicated music theory in a clear, concise, and (most importantly) practical way. Thank you
I've been binging, and been pleasantly surprised how much I've understood due to your clear explanations . . . until now. It's not you, it's me. I'll come back with a little more theory under my belt.
Wow! This was a really helpful explanation. For anyone struggling to understand, learn what a tritone substitution is first. That filled in the missing piece for me.
Hi I just got here off your minor iv Creep video, I think one of the reasons that has way more views and comments than this is you slowed things down and broke it down better for the average listener. If you had broken up the different vi chords to show how they sound like a V7, for example. I had to pause your video and run to the piano to see what they sounded like. And then maybe if you’d played the examples on your writing program to help us really hear the different chords, that would have helped make it more accessible to people without education. Even the simplest things are over their heads but if you slow it down enough it’s more relatable anyway. Anyway great job, new subscriber, these kinds of conversations are what I miss the most about being around my music theory friends 🥰
Great vid, brother!❤ So it’s just kinda a tritone substitution (subV) of a V chord?? Simply, it approaches the V chord from above by a halfstep? And all this it/fr/ger crap is just additions, embellishments..That’s all, right?
Still confused as to how the make one of these chords though, as I'm one of the DAW sheet music illiterate kids and I can't read what it is. In C is it really just Ab with and added minor 7th interval?
I didn’t like that first comment you made because it’s not like music from 100 years ago was bad and what you said invalidates many people’s favourite music. Music is timeless, music doesn’t become obsolete and writing in a style more common in the past shouldn’t be looked down on.
I think that SHE LIKES SURPRISES (a Soundgarden) song has that. I'm away from any instrument but I think it goes G C Eb7 D7 G (I IV Ger+6 V7 I). If I recall correctly. That's more modern than the Beatles ;D

Fantastic stuff Ryan, really great way to look at these chords especially outside of tradional functional harmony and more about the colour they add.
Thanks Mark, sometimes I'm glad I studied Jazz harmony first because it can be a lot more practical!
Great explanation Ryan. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Christopher, I appreciate it!

Good call, tritone substitution might make for a good video topic

yea pretty much
@@RyanLeach I was too dumb to figure that out on my own. So, thanx, mate!!
Thank you finally makes sense
Your content is so good ty
All this seems over my knowledge level!
awesome stuff......F*** me the beatles where on it . Interestingly Fr6ths are found in the alpha chord and Octatonic scales......
Maybe I should do a "how the Beatles used the Alpha chord" video.. although that might take a bit more research!
@@RyanLeach start with RINGO's tunes I would..............twentieth century cat if every there was one ....sold him some cymbals once...big day

Yea, Ab7 or Ab-C-Eb-Gb

You have probably misunderstood the comment then
