I took piano lessons as a child, then switched to drums in adolescence. Learned some basic theory but missed out on this stuff. Now I am getting back to the keyboard and loving your channel. Thanks!
ive always been so cynical about learning more advanced chord theory but your videos have this really comfortable feel that removes the intimidation factor - also the audible examples you show for all the chords sound wonderful and are refreshingly concise !!!
This is really comprehensive and helpful. I was shocked when I saw you had less than 10k subs. Hopefully you get there and beyond super soon! Amazing work!
You are genuinely the best advanced theory teacher on youtube, thank you for anchoring your explanations of these chords in terms of their common usage
VERY VERY VERY Well done Sir, crystal clear ! Did you just summarize 400 years of dominant chords (especially XXth Century) in a 20min video ??!! Vous êtes incroyable, exactement là ou j'en suis de ma compréhension de l'harmonie ! Et quels yeux ;) ! Un grand grand merci !!! Maintenant il y a du travail à faire ^^
The 5th is heavily reinforced early in the harmonic series. I've always speculated that is why the 5th is both a strong motion in the bass, and also why when you play a 5th in a chord it anchors the tonality.
This feels like the final exam of being an intermediate musician, great video ! kinda sad tho you didnt follow up on the plans for your channel for 2024 i hope you are doing good, so looking forward to learn more!!! much blessings brotha
Congrats on another great video! I love all your functional trees, it really makes this vast concept easier to grasp. I’m just starting my RUclips channel (as you know), and you’ve been a huge inspiration!
Thank you for this. I also remove the 5th because you get your minor or major from a third, or extended tones. I add the 5th because it emphasizes the tonic.
I like the way that you show that an Augmented 6th chord can be thought of as a V/V secondary dominant and then apply tri-tone substitution. Did you figure that out yourself, or is that something that a lot of people know?
Check out monk. He uses this… G7 with an F#. Particularly melodically. My theory is that he’s thinking of a dom bebop context. 12345b6b771 so he’s got both notes as an option. Barry Harris explains this scale as G7 + A diminished GABCDEbFF#. So you get 2 chords G7, Adim, then the B chord is just an inversion of the G 7, and the A chord is an inversion of the Adim. Gives you a unique and not talked about scale that kinda is all over jazz from the “standards” era. It’s used more in motion than functionally though… still dom. I’ll see if I can find a monk tune example. Where melody note is F# and chord is G7. Furthermore.. I’d imagine they include the natural 6 in that scale often.. so you get a 9 note scale?!
Yes well the very next I stumbled upon a Chopin waltz that had exactly that, and f# over a g7 chord, although it’s very melodic, and one could argue that it’s like a touch of VofV in the V, I still think this is a harmonic colour that exists , and that I should not have been categorical. Thank you for the input
What is impossible about iiim b9 ? III7 to iv is nice. III7 b5 How do you call that? Never saw it in notation but it sounds pleasing as a variation to dominant III.
It's not impossible, but there was a Adam Neely video saying it kind of was. In any case, in my example, the b9 is a long appogiatura of the fundamental
Is there any theory on choosing chords, for example ill have my melody first and want to find chords that support the melody but I find there’s no structure or progression with the chords when doing this.
You can start with loops that you like, either 2 chord loops, 4 chord loops, 8 chord loops. This will give structure. I will probably do a video (or many) on chord progressions in the next few months. Good luck!
Sick! I know aan example of a M7 in a dominant chord. I remember from this video ruclips.net/video/eRkgK4jfi6M/видео.htmlsi=ZPOEAkAMy7lLGhbY&t=495 Apparently it's a song called don't follow the crowd but I've never heard the original

Glad to hear, all the best in your journey
Bruh, this is a gift to humanity, so happy to see a brazilian song
Dude, you're amazing. I pause, laugh, rewind, rewatch, pause, laugh again, over and over again. Oh, also I learned a whole bunch of s***
Thank you man, I appreciate it

Thank you for the good wishes !
You are genuinely the best advanced theory teacher on youtube, thank you for anchoring your explanations of these chords in terms of their common usage
Awesome video! Love your demeanor! Love your guy with the whip!
commenting for the algorithm, your videos are top tier for music theory
VERY VERY VERY Well done Sir, crystal clear !

Vous êtes incroyable, exactement là ou j'en suis de ma compréhension de l'harmonie !
Et quels yeux ;) !
Un grand grand merci !!!
Maintenant il y a du travail à faire ^^
Ça fait plaisir! Bonne suite!
You’re the man. Whatever you release I will consume.
I love following along on guitar!

I could probably watch this video 50 times and it would still be awesome
@13:50 Chick Corea is a great example of a contemporary composer and improvisor who fused classical and jazz. Only guy I thought of on that point.
Herbie Hancock too
This feels like the final exam of being an intermediate musician, great video ! kinda sad tho you didnt follow up on the plans for your channel for 2024 i hope you are doing good, so looking forward to learn more!!! much blessings brotha
Thank you man. I know, been so busy. Will get back to it soon. Peace :)

Awesome and keep it up!!
thank you for all the amazing content you create for us
Perfectly put together 👌
This channel is gnarly. Good job!
I’ve been a huge fan of the channel. Wish more people checked out your compositions, brilliant good stuff man. Looking forward to 2024 with ya 🎉
Thank you!!

Learning so much. Thanks!
This is amazing
Guide indéressant ! merci
Nice one dude, really helpful stuff
Terrific video! Subscribed! 😁
Nicely explained. Thanks
thanks man! now I can go play my G7sus4b9#13/Fm9#11b13 chords
Hahahaha
YEP, got lost 3 minutes in, gonna have to run this one back a couple times!!!!
Blessings
Amazing content! Will definitely be sharing your videos on music theory with my piano students! 👌
Yessss🦉🦢

I think it’s established knowledge !
My GOAT 🐐baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Looking forward to your album release! I love your song “Strange New World”.
Thank you 🙏

An Album!😊
B7/G | C6
Interesting

Yeah someone else commented about having a B7 chord function as V. Now that i think about it it does make sense
