Beethoven has a quote that goes something like “whenever the gentleman finds himself in a bit of trouble, he can call a diminished seventh to save the day” or something like that. He used them frequently to find his way back to tonic.

Do you have a source for that? Playing Beethoven's Sonata 14 Movement 1 brought me here because he uses these chords there excessively. I could find that quote via Google but would be interested whether it is true and whether he said this in a broader context.

Dumb down society. These scales were written centuries ago.. It's actaully SIMPLE and EASY..so lets Keep it SIMPLE STUPID. If you know your shit...you can tell DUMB DOWN people to...FFFFFF-OFF There's 9 DIATONIC parallel scales....DUDE. Until you learn them. and the MODES in them. (it's going to give you every possible) 7 notes MODES variations within the 12 note... 63 MODES... The vi mode of A Harmonic min (b6) is a F Lydian #2 The IV mode of C Harmonic MAJOR is F lydian b3.. They are what they are......1. #2, #4, 6 or 1. b3. #4, 6 Im not playing a PIANO...I dunnn have to stack it every other. I can stack it to whatever the hell I please...it's not my fault people can't play the piano or only know ONE scale in 12 different pitch. and cant even play half of the different keys.lmao They can kiss my ass. There's a difference...There's a G note in F Lydian b3 There's no G note in F lydian #2 The A harmonic b5 = F Hungarian MAJOR ( ion #2. #4, b7) 1 , 3, ,5, b7 1. #2, 5, b7 !, #2, #4, 6 1, #2, #4 b7 augmented 6th ??? they 're mode from the ematic scales they are what they are.. example if you count from b2 mode of A harmonic minor b2 1.....2...........3......#4 5.................#67R but I can make the Bb dominant god damn it..lmao if you count from the 7th degree mode 1b2 bb3.....b4 b5 b6 bb7.........8 You get what you get.....They are what they are yes...yes..yes..WTF is bb3??? Why U not just call that btich a 2..FFS.lmao There's' lydian Lydian#2 Lydian b3 Lydian augmented Lydian augment #2 Lydian aug #3...lmao lydian aug b3........why the FFFF do you play a b3 in an augment..it's dim..god damn it. A Melodic min b5...You get what you get..lol lydian aug b7....lmao ( Melodic min b2) Melodic min #4 ( lydian b3) Melodic min b2 ( N6) Melodic min b5....I made that up. But it's just dorian b5 with a leading tone dorian b5 = II of Harmonic MAJOR.. You'll see it..easier if you play A lydian b3 ( E Harmonic MAJOR) or A melodic min It's going to help modulate to F# minor (A MAJOR) F# aeo b5 or F# dor b5...simply play a leading tone.. It'll also over lap with F # Harmonic min b5 D lydian dominant...or D lydian dominant #2 ( or mix #2, #4) D Hungarian Major... Then you can play F # harmonic min b2,...to E min or G MAJOR or you can play G7 as the b2 chord...then A7 into D melodic min Then DOuble Dunnnnnn...lmao Play D double harmonics or D lydian b3 ( E7) into A min. or play G augmented into C min....hahhaaaaaaa ( F# melodic min b2)

I, personally have always hated enharmonic spellings. The idea that they are "technically correct", sort of erks me. When you look at mucic staff, seeing to notes that are space or a line apart as a third, really only helps keyboard players who's fingers are trained in diatonic theory. But if you are a horn player, for just one example, your limted range means practicing your chromatic scale from one end to the other is very important. Guitarist have a very wide range, but "suffer" from see everything as parallel shapes. All notes are space out chromaticly, so switching keys is very easy. You start to see you range as a cycle of 12 individual notes, whose names start to become irrelevant. To players like these Fb's or B#'s really piss you off, not to even mention double #'s and b's.

I teach and just LOVE diminished chords! They are TRULY a gateway to other musical dimensions. Moving any one note either a half step down or up produces either a new dominant or a minor flat 5 chord, and moving any two adjacent notes together up or down gives you new minor 7s that are a 5th apart. Then if you move any notes in converse directions, the combination can give you a two suspended chords! The possibilities are MADDENING!!!!

@ruebene22234 жыл бұрын
I believe so. I just saw a video about them and learned that they resolve a fourth above or a minor third below. For example, Caug can resolve to F or Am. *BUT* [the video didn't say this but, this is what I'm thinking] since Caug is the same as Eaug and G#aug (same notes), it can resolve to: C# as well. So that's C#, C#m F, Fm, A, and Am. (or any chord a half-step above any note of your augmented chord. just to make it easier.) That's all I know about augmented chords for now. Happy portaling! :)

@Azmon Rougier Oops! You are right. I just changed it. :)

The other way an Aug chord can be a portal is due to being symmetrical, you can throw an Aug chord on the 5th of the scale but resolve it to a new tonic, so long as the Aug chord has a note in it that is 5th above the new tonic. Works best to a minor scale imo, but will do both. So say you are in Cmaj, you end up on G which would reslve back to C. But instead you use Gaugmented which contains a B and a D# thus you can resolve back to C as normal, or back to E (5th below B) or to G# (5th below D#)

The tune was outstanding and far surpasses a lot of the shred stuff that the "pros" play and sell. Fresh, New and Creative.

These music theory lessons are life changing. I've been playing guitar for 30 years but never understood any of this before. Thanks so much

Jake, I think you may well be one of the top guitar instructors on the web today. You have unraveled so many music theory mysteries for me. You are VERY talented as a teacher as well as musician, with fantastic on-camera presence. I think the recognition will continue and you will build a massive fan base. Keep at it! Thanks for all you do.

Dude you blew my mind in the first two minutes. I’ve always been intrigued by diminished chords and how they resolve, but your explanation makes so much sense. My mind has relaxed. Thank you 😊

That minute and a half of music was sonic bliss! It was worthy of the progressive rock artists of the 60s and 70s. My instrument is synthesizer, and I will be incorporating more diminished seventh chords in my work. Thanks!

After listening to a lot of prog that musical example sounded very normal to me didn’t realize it was weird until you said it changed keys too many times
