I've watched your videos so many times. I have a sedimentary type of intelligence, small, thin layers of facts and knowledge accumulate over the decades of my life, eventually forming actual understanding. Most people just set out to learn something and they learn it. I set out to learn something, and after 7 years, I'm like, oh this was easy, why didn't I understand it sooner ?It's taken me many years to realize it's because I'm stupid now. It took me 15 years to learn the names of the keys on the piano keyboard. Super sharp one here, brother, yes indeed.

In the key of C you can use the diatonic chords C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am and Bm-5. Add secondary dominants and you can also use C7, D7, E7, F7, A7 and B7 when playing in the key of C. Add tritone substitution and you can also use F#7, G#7, Bb7, C#7 and D#7 when playing in the key of C. So your next lesson could be explaining tritone substitution :-)

They are simply "outside chords" that you can use in a song. Say you're writing a song in the key of C major/A minor...you have 7 chords in the key.

Good lesson! Glad you covered several examples of minor chords. A couple of questions though: 1) Is an E7 the dominant 7th for both "A" as well as "Am"? 2) In the key of C, the G7 is the dominant chord that pulls back to C. The minor 7 of a G is the note of F (which is the 4 of C). I know the G major chord has a B note (which is the major 7th of C). Isn't that B note the one that creates the "pull" back to the C? So why do we need that minor 7th of the 5 (the F note of G) in order to feel a stronger pull back to C, when it would seems as if a G chord would do the trick? Also, there are other chords that have a B in them (for example an E chord, which has the note B as the 5) so I guess I'm wondering if there's a way to describe why the pull from E to C isn't as strong as G to C. Note that I realize these might be complicated concepts to explain but I figured I'd at least ask.
@zombieguitar7 жыл бұрын
doublek321 Hey thanks for watching and commenting! To answer #1...Yes, dominant chords can resolve to both major and minor chords. As for #2, this Wikipedia article explains it much better then I could in a YT comment: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_seventh_chord
@doublek3217 жыл бұрын
Cool thanks! I checked that wikipedia link you sent and it was also useful! Let me try to explain in case others had the same question (though first a disclaimer that I'm definitely not any kind of musical expert): The G7 contains notes GBDF. As already discussed in my initial comment, the B (which is the major 3rd of the G) is the "leading tone" to C. A "leading tone" means it "pulls upward" to the next highest semitone (in this case, from B to C). What I didn't realize is that there's also the concept of an "upper leading tone" that "pulls downward" the next lowest semitone. In this case, the G7 contains the note F, which pulls downward to E. The note E is the major 3rd of C. So basically the G7 contains 2 notes (B and F) that "pull" toward the root and major 3rd of C. That explains why it resolves so strongly to C.
@zombieguitar7 жыл бұрын
doublek321 exactly!
@pixelatedparcel6 жыл бұрын
doublek321 Hey, man. I totally get the gist of what you are saying and agree with it except for your use of the term "leading tone". Now, admittedly I am only 1 year in to guitar and music theory as well as being self taught and am only bringing this up in a spirit of open and amiable discussion. My understanding is that the term "leading tone" (aka "subtonic") is exclusively reserved for the 7th or most "active" degree of the major scale because its marked tendency to resolve up a half-step to the tonic (or octave). No other degree is as "active", hence the moniker "leading tone". Now, since the G7 (dominant V) chord contains the (Cmaj) scale's leading tone, it is the most "active" of the three primary chords(or triads). So, yes, the 7 of the C maj scale being B, the G7/V chord (because of its B) will seek to resolve to the C/I chord. Also, it's root (G) being the fifth of the I (C) chord, there is an unmistakable affinity between the two because of this. That said, the 4th -also "active" - degree (or "subdominant") tends to resolve down a half-step to 3 ( a "rest" tone) rather than up to 5 a whole step away. Also, you are more likely to encounter a movement from I to IV than from IV to I because in this case though it is true the IV chord's root (F) is a fifth away from the tonic (C) said root (F) is not contained in the I (or "tonic") chord, hence its apparent "distance" from the I. Anyway, hope you dig my little contribution to the exchange.
@pixelatedparcel6 жыл бұрын
Since you are into this kind of stuff, here is another tidbit you might enjoy. You already know that the primary triads are the basic structural units of harmony and you may also know that movement from one of these primary triads to another is regarded as a strong or fundamental harmonic progression. You may not know that another way to achieve a strong (not in the sense of better) progression is via a root progression of a fourth or a fifth. That is why substituting the II for the IV or the VI for the I or even the III for the I or V are considered harmonically weak (not in the sense of worse) progressions because the roots of these chords are a third apart (as opposed to a fourth or a fifth apart). This third-relationship exists both above and below any of the primary triads. As an aside, when substituting for a primary triad, you may want to favor a voicing that double its chord-third as this helps to establish its function as a substitute. Finally, the usual progression is from strong or basic primary triad to the weaker substitute chord as it suggests forward motion, the root of the substitute chord being heard as a fresh, new sound in the forward progression; Also, the basis for considering chords as substitutes is that they share two common tones with the substituted chords: see, for example, I to VI, IV to II, V to III...A great book to get is E.B. Kohs, Music Theory, vol.I.

@DaLeSy.6 ай бұрын
So let me see if I understand this. The fifth chord of a diatonic scale is called the dominant 5th because it wants to resolve to the one chord? And when you talked about using secondary dominant chords to spice things up, they are never minor. So even if you are in a minor key and you use a secondary dominate chord to spice things up, it is not going to be minor. Like the secondary dominate chord of Am would be E7, not Em7, right? And if I am only interesting in playing different kinds of rock music, grunge, alternative, punk, heavier stuff, do I need to even learn secondary dominate chords? Do they even use them in these rock genres?

@kingloser41986 ай бұрын
I think I get it. Someone confused me though.. they said that, they were in G, they were going to use the ii (Am) for the secondary dominant, which would be E7. Though they said there was a G# in that E7 chord, which there is but there isn't a G# in G Major. How did they get the G#? I thought you just added a flattened 7th note to get the X7 chords.
@zombieguitar6 ай бұрын
Good question! Yes there is a G# in the E7 chord, and no there is no 'G#' in the key of G major. That is why the E7 is a SECONDARY dominant... because it is an out-of-key chord!! The G# is just the 3rd of the E7 chord: E7: E G# B D The 7th of the E7 chord is the note 'D'. Hope that helps elaborate!
@kingloser41986 ай бұрын
Hmm okay. :) I still don't understand why it gets to be sharped though. How would I know if I wasn't told. Is there some formula of building the E7 chords like you would with other chords.

@zombieguitar6 ай бұрын
@@kingloser4198 the thing is that it doesn't "get sharpened"... An E7 chord is simply E G# B D. The chord formula for a "dominant 7th" chord is: 1 - 3 - 5 - b7 This "out of key" E7 chord was placed right before the "in key" Am chord in your example, because that's how secondary dominants work...
