I know that music is not a secret, but the way this guy presents music theory so easily explained, gives me the feeling that he’s leaking TOP SECRET information 😂😂😂😂 the best that I’ve seen by far
Wow, these lessons are making me feel smart and dumb at the same time. Have been play ing guitar for over 20 years. Sam Jam explains in a few minutes why a whole bunch of things actually work e.g. the ole C Cmaj7 C7 to F. Its the dominant 7th. Jeez it all makes so much sense. And another thing…pentatonic major fits the major chords and pentatonic minor maps to the minor chords-so frikkin obvious once you see it! - um, not these two scales that exist for their own sake. Thank you Samjam for turning the lights on for me.
I look at lots of music tutorials online. But you have risen to my #1. Short, clear and concise. Each video is bite size and gives me time to porperly digest it before moving on.
your videos have completely changed my playing style for the best. I absolutely love it when im able to understand what goes on in a song that i like! these videos are like putting puzzle pieces together but with music theory and you teach it all so well
Test is on. I'm commenting before watching the video. I've been homeschooling myself on music theory and have made lots of good progress. And at this point, I have no idea what a secondary dominant is. If, after this video, I have learned what secondary dominant are and some how and why of using them, I will reply here to proclaim you a good music educator. Wish us luck.
This is good, clear information. What really clinches it for me is the series of musical examples you use. I can hear the relations between the sets of tensions and resolutions, and also the two-step climb up the G major scale. You're a good music educator. I will of course need to go over it several times with my instruments: keyboard and guitar, but within a few days I expect to have a good grasp of the concept. Subscribing now. Thank you for great content!
I often notice on some songs that use the secondary dominant but instead of going to the I, it goes to a different non I chord. Could you please give some explanation on this and some examples? Your video is awesome btw!🙌🏻
Perfect teaching. Do you have a course where you follow the same method an in this video? I found with other courses, course material is different from youtube material.
Lots of ways to describe this! too much for a youtube comment! its essentially telling you to play the 7 of the 5 chord...NOT the 5 of the 7 chord. If you actually break the notes down from the diminished chord you would find that it contains the same notes as the V/V (5 of the 5 chord) with one extra interval but with a b9 interval! so essentially you could view this as a 7b9 chord resolving to a 5 chord.... so basically V/V with a bit of extra tension from the b9 interval👌
@@Samjamguitar Oh my goodness. Thank you so much, I honestly wasn't expecting a reply from the teacher. I found that chord in a piece for classical guitar by Carullli in La Mineur. The chord is written as Re# for bass, La for tenor, Do for soprano. Your explanation makes sense. Re# is the VII of V in this case. Thank you, I'm going to go read up on 7B9 chords. Perhaps I'll finally figure out the reason for the soprano being in DO. Thank you so much.

it's easier if I explain it in C MAJOR/Amin ( keys are just pitch) A min D min E min = Natural min A min D min/dim E7 = Harmonic min A min D7 D7 = melodic min A Maj D min/dim E7 = Harmonic MAJOR A min B7 into E Maj = Lyd dim ( E Harmonic MAJOR) If you practice the CYCLE of dominant B7 into E7 into A7 into D7 into G7 into C7 into F7 into Bb7 into Eb7 into Db7 into Gb7 3 into 4 ( second arpeggio of a dominant chord B dim/G) B dim into C sort of like AUGMENTED chords...( ALL maj 3rd intervals) 2, 4, b6, 7 CHORD degree are all possible FULL dim The easist way is to just MEMORIZE it. ( it's EASY) D, F, Ab, B B, D, F, Ab/G# They overlap in different keys C Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min A Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min Eb Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min..............(C Harmonic min) Gb Harmonic MAJOR or F# harmonic min........ ( A Harmonic MAJOR) Anyways...you can simply stack a maj3 BELOW any dim chord to obtain a DOMINANT B dim/G.......D dim/Bb........F dim/Db........Ab dim/E G7...............Bb7.................Db7................E7 The Bb and Db are the most COMMON N6 chords You can also stack MAJ, min, DOMINANT or dim EVERY b3 interval if you use FULL dim H/W once you get used to the cycle of dominant you'll simply just do this A min Bb7 into Eb Maj7 or Eb min E7 into A min The E7 acts like the N6 of Eb Maj or min. it's the same if you. A min Db7 into Gb min G7 into C MAJOR A min C#7 into F# min G7 into C MAJOR A min C#7 into F# min B min E7 into A min it dosnt have to be Dominant . it could be ANY chord with a maj3 such as C Maj7 into F min G7 C Maj ( C Harmonic MAJOR, Ion b6) SHORT CUT....b2.......b3.......b5........b6......b7 ARE ALL POSSIBLE N6 chords .....................Db.......Eb.......Gb.......Ab.......Bb so you could A min Db maj7 Gb min G7 into C MAJOR or you could pretend to play into Eb Harmonic MAJOR A min Bb7 into Eb Maj7 Ab min G7 into C MAJOR or pretend to play into C# min ( the D chord is the N6 of C#) A min G#7 into C# min D dim E7 into A min A min G#7 into C# min D Maj7 B min E7 into A min or pretend to play into F minor....melodic or harmonic..ect A min Bb7 C7 F min Db maj7 G7 into C MAJOR A min C Maj7 F min Bb dim Db dim G7 into C MAJOR A min Bb dim C dim C# min D7 E7 into A min You can alter any chord degree into Dominant. ANYTHING that's NOT primary are SECONDARY....keep it SIMPLE like that.
You sound so flat and dry. I was going to give this a pass. But your lesson was beautifully constructed and the visual illustrations perfect. Great work. I’m hooked.
Can secondary dominant be used after the target chord for example Em to B7 to G. Em to G being the harmonic movement and B7 as the secondary dominant of Em is this possible?

U are amazing bro ❤
Thanks 🔥

The best teach
Really good video. Can you explain tritone substitution, or have you already done a video. Thanks
That will be coming soon....until then you could watch my secondary dominants lesson!
@@Samjamguitar thanks, will do
Brilliant 👌
Very good
Legend ❤❤
👌👌👌
Okay, thanks, this may take some thinking....😂👍
Feel free to ask as many questions as you like Pat👍
Please please make one for tritone sub!
It's on my to do list👌
Is the V chord the Dominant chord no matter whether the key is minor or major? IM confused about minor chord progressions built from the minor scale.
So, minor chords can never be secondary dominant chords? Only majors or dominant 7th chords?
I recently came across this : VII/V. Isn't that built on a 7th chord?
Lots of ways to describe this! too much for a youtube comment! its essentially telling you to play the 7 of the 5 chord...NOT the 5 of the 7 chord. If you actually break the notes down from the diminished chord you would find that it contains the same notes as the V/V (5 of the 5 chord) with one extra interval but with a b9 interval! so essentially you could view this as a 7b9 chord resolving to a 5 chord.... so basically V/V with a bit of extra tension from the b9 interval👌

I understand what they are but I'm having a hard time applying them
i mean, if you knew the circle of fifths, you'd know the 5ths of every note...
it's easier if I explain it in C MAJOR/Amin ( keys are just pitch)
A min D min E min = Natural min
A min D min/dim E7 = Harmonic min
A min D7 D7 = melodic min
A Maj D min/dim E7 = Harmonic MAJOR
A min B7 into E Maj = Lyd dim ( E Harmonic MAJOR)
If you practice the CYCLE of dominant
B7 into E7 into A7 into D7 into G7 into C7 into F7 into Bb7 into Eb7 into Db7 into Gb7
3 into 4 ( second arpeggio of a dominant chord B dim/G)
B dim into C
sort of like AUGMENTED chords...( ALL maj 3rd intervals)
2, 4, b6, 7 CHORD degree are all possible FULL dim
The easist way is to just MEMORIZE it. ( it's EASY)
D, F, Ab, B
B, D, F, Ab/G#
They overlap in different keys
C Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min
A Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min
Eb Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min..............(C Harmonic min)
Gb Harmonic MAJOR or F# harmonic min........ ( A Harmonic MAJOR)
Anyways...you can simply stack a maj3 BELOW any dim chord to obtain a DOMINANT
B dim/G.......D dim/Bb........F dim/Db........Ab dim/E
G7...............Bb7.................Db7................E7
The Bb and Db are the most COMMON N6 chords
You can also stack MAJ, min, DOMINANT or dim EVERY b3 interval
if you use FULL dim H/W
once you get used to the cycle of dominant
you'll simply just do this
A min Bb7 into Eb Maj7 or Eb min E7 into A min
The E7 acts like the N6 of Eb Maj or min.
it's the same if you.
A min Db7 into Gb min G7 into C MAJOR
A min C#7 into F# min G7 into C MAJOR
A min C#7 into F# min B min E7 into A min
it dosnt have to be Dominant . it could be ANY chord with a maj3
such as C Maj7 into F min G7 C Maj ( C Harmonic MAJOR, Ion b6)
SHORT CUT....b2.......b3.......b5........b6......b7
ARE ALL POSSIBLE N6 chords
.....................Db.......Eb.......Gb.......Ab.......Bb
so you could A min Db maj7 Gb min G7 into C MAJOR
or you could pretend to play into Eb Harmonic MAJOR
A min Bb7 into Eb Maj7 Ab min G7 into C MAJOR
or pretend to play into C# min ( the D chord is the N6 of C#)
A min G#7 into C# min D dim E7 into A min
A min G#7 into C# min D Maj7 B min E7 into A min
or pretend to play into F minor....melodic or harmonic..ect
A min Bb7 C7 F min Db maj7 G7 into C MAJOR
A min C Maj7 F min Bb dim Db dim G7 into C MAJOR
A min Bb dim C dim C# min D7 E7 into A min
You can alter any chord degree into Dominant.
ANYTHING that's NOT primary are SECONDARY....keep it SIMPLE like that.
As an introduction to secondary dominants I doubt your explanation would help anyone new to the concept.
I don’t understand any of this.
You sound so flat and dry. I was going to give this a pass. But your lesson was beautifully constructed and the visual illustrations perfect. Great work. I’m hooked.
Can secondary dominant be used after the target chord for example Em to B7 to G. Em to G being the harmonic movement and B7 as the secondary dominant of Em is this possible?
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!
