@asmo_1929 5 ай бұрын

@@christopherkettlewell7386 you could tritone sub any of those and it would make some interesting progressions. In that situation it works well because otherwise he would be going from A minor to A7, and that would sound more like a modulation and wouldn't be that seamless. And doing a first inversion on the D is also an arbitrary choice, you can do it on any of the chords you feel like, I like it because of the minor second movement in the bass.

@@Akram-b3myes! picking up the piano later in life has brought me so much joy and fulfilment… just give the keys a tinkle, don’t expect too much from it but try to get across the flavour of what you feel (since you can feel it). It’s helpful to have a constraint like only use white keys or only use black keys, or only use one hand and keys within a span of that hand. And focus on expressing with rhythm, tone, and note choice. Good luck!!

@Melodysmic Ай бұрын

Yes! What they are saying! Learn it! Do whatever you can to get the ball rolling! Get a cheap, maybe used (but taken care of) electric keyboard. You don’t need a grand piano anymore to learn piano. 😊 I’m doing the same thing at 34 years old with learning guitar (not just playing it 😉). It’s been the most rewarding thing I’ve done in a long time aside from my beautiful kiddos. Have fun!!

@TorbenMahnsMusic Жыл бұрын

I get you, but I think that's not the point though, it's a seemless transition, not really a key change or modulation. so yeah you can hear it as subdominant to C still, but I think It's more about taking more detours through relative dominant connections to approach the F more colourfully. And then after that it has the potential to guide you in a different direction. :)

@OskarCzechowicz-OmniMusician Жыл бұрын

@@Marunius Maybe it's too much of the classical harmony training, but for me it doesn't click. Using a series of secondary dominants doesn't make you forget the start key, it's just an "exponential" secondary dominant series targetting the IV chord. For diatonic modulation you need to put the VI chord of the target key somewhere as an anchor, then it really starts to feel like modulation. And the series was lit AF, I just was disappointed to not really learn a new modulating technique :D

@joshuaSundeep Ай бұрын

For my pals who have no clue what a secondary dominant is (neither did I, so I googled it), in short it's just a Dominant (V or V7) to the Tonic (I) chord progression in another key from the original. The Tonic (I) chord, however, must be a chord that is in the original key. This is definitely a huge simplification, but I think this is the main idea!
