Are you ready to transform simple chord progressions to make them sound interesting and soulful? In this video I'll show you how you can add that bit of extra magic using a passing chords technique that's used all the time by pro's.
The technique I am referring to is using secondary dominants. And I can guarantee you will have heard them in chord progressions before, you just may not have realised.

Chordfinger: "You will receive instructions from my assistant, Mr. Bond. His name is Secondary Dominant." Assistant whips off bowler hat, flings it, slices grand piano neatly in half. Bond: "The musical director will disapprove of that, Chordfinger." Chordfinger: "I >am< the musical director, Mr. Bond."

Thank you for the video. I did not know this information before. I always wondered how pro pianist add chords that are not in the lead sheet.

I had it all wrong. I thought the V was After the I, not Before the next chord, whatever it may be. Wow, thank you so much for making this video! 😊

Yes it can feel strange going ahead to the next chord, figuring out the V then putting it beforehand. I’m glad it helped you 🙂

Thank you for making a video that explains this slowly and simply in a way I can finally understand. It seems so simple to hear you explain it, makes me wonder why I thought it was complicated!

@BirdsPianoAcademy 11 ай бұрын

Ah sorry to hear about your subscription ending. Its got quite expensive on Skillshare hasn’t it. If you wanted to carry on with the course there is a subscription option over on my website, which gives you access to all my courses for only £6 per month. (I should probably put that up 😆). Glad you liked the video!

The D major chord is not in the key of C major? It is secondary dominant to G major?

@BirdsPianoAcademy Ай бұрын

Yes apologies I meant to say the chord progression starts in C major. It's just a simple 3 step progression to demonstrate how you can use secondary dominants as passing chords.
