@@danwest9900 some chords particulaly strike a resonance with different people, in different states of mind or emotion. When you are writing , you tune into this, and when you are listening you tune into it, especially strongly if it matches your resonance at that time, and also you will go crazy for it if it matches your dominant resonance. That is what I have discovered. It may only make sense to a few , but thats ok.😊👍🏼💫💫💫

I'm learning this for guitar but it's insane to see how intuitive the piano is for this kind of stuff. With the guitar, I've begun to think about how to reach notes relatively (I'm probably an early intermediate player), but with the piano it has this linear way of looking at it your notes, whereas with guitar I can reach higher notes either from top to bottom or left to right, as opposed to left to right alone which just seems like it makes more sense.

Maybe I didn't notice in this video, but it is good to be mentioned that dominant 7th chords are made from the V note of the scale they belong and in which they tend to resolve. So the C dominant 7 chord belongs to F major scale. You can make dominant 7th chord in any major or minor scale, except natural minor because it does not have leading note, so you must transform it in to melodic or harmonic minor.

beginner question - for the 7 diatonic notes in the C major scale the 1st 4th and 5th are usually played as major chords C F G the 2nd 3rd and 6th are usually played as minors Dm Em and Am. But what chord is usually played for that 7th note in the scale? I have seen a B7 substituted but whatever that chord is. Thanks - and I don't play keyboard, but it helps me in understanding music that I play on my guitar. Please explain in plain English - I am not a music major or even a music minor or even a music 7th (a little musical joke there).

Very helpful, I've always wrestled with the whole 7th/major 7th difference. I've also never gotten my head around the use of the term "dominant", still working on that one. But I'm curious why the diminished 7th is considered a 7th and not a 6th, since the major scale's 7th note is flattened twice to make it a 6th.

@planetfixer 11 ай бұрын

I'm still learning too, but I think It's still considered a 7th because contextually it makes more sense to think of it as a 7th chord that's been flattened twice, rather than a chord constructed out of the 6th But take that with a grain of salt, no idea if that's right lol

@folium1 2 жыл бұрын

Great! You suggested learning all 12-keys. Should we also practice learning different ways to play each chord? E.g. a C chord could be played starting with C or E or G. I mix these quite randomly, and funnily the same song could start and end differently each time. Don't know if that is good or bad practice. Is some rotation custom with these? Or is the way you played the best sounding and most common way? If so...learning 12-keys will be more managable. Thanks again :-)
