The Chord That Should Not Be - 7#9 aka "Jimi Hendrix Chord" [MUSIC THEORY - MIXED THIRDS]
The Chord Progression Codex is NOW AVAILABLE! shorturl.at/bouLV
Check out my Theory and Songwriting Course: bit.ly/3Ej44Cz
If all you've learned is classical theory, then this chord makes no sense. It contains both the major and minor 3rd, which used to be a big no-no. However, it's contains the absolute essence of rock and blues music - the clashing between two thirds. This lesson explores how the b3 interacts with major chords, and vice versa. Along the way you should gain some knowledge on how to use the Jimi Hendrix chord (7#9) and other ways to compose with "mixed thirds".
Here's the @AdamNeely video I mentioned at the end: czcams.com/video/mqsnqIw--RU/video.htmlsi=ar2xYoq9lVJVq66r

excellent lesson, i need to spend some on this one.
I hate when I’m not promoting my tonal center ❤️
The legend !
G B C# D. G Lydian. I recognized that chord from a Led Zep song. So I'm guessing the song is in G Lydian.
THANK YOU!!
Nice! Is this infographic still available somewhere?
You're the best ❤❤❤
The 3d presentation is bullshit. Might as well watch you talk us along.
It tastes dark and mysterious to me, but I did like what you did with this.
finally someone who understands DARK AMBIENT
Good stuff ! The reverb acted almost like a background keyboard supporting the sound. 🙂👍
Chopin's 3rd Nocturne in B has some wonderful polyrhythms throughout
Ha, now I can say, I never mess up I'm, just borrowing 😂. Great video!
Can you explain why for the C major scale the chords moving up the scale are I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi, vii? Is this just a music principle or something? For example, why is it not all Major chords (C maj, D maj, E maj etc)
Jake Under the In The Key Of D Major, Why do you have a Bb and a bii Dim. I Understand the E Dim is the two chord of the Dminor scale but could not figure out the B Flat and Flat ii Dim means? Thanks for the great lesson, Rd
the b7 is just a major 6th?
Plz try 1-b-2-c-3-d or a-b-2-c-3-d instead of ( pass-the-stink-ing-but-ter) to solve stressed and weak syllable problem.
the hash slinging slasher
Hell yeah papa roach lick!😂
I wish 11:30 was longer
oh no she's lost it
I may be wrong or sound dumb but wouldn't this be harmonic minor in the key of A? Or its at least very close I think
I think this is a great video, unfortunately I am stuck at work for the next few hours, all I want to do now is go home and tear all my songs to pieces and add sus 2 and sus 4 everywhere lol
Omg the best guitar teacher is back, and it’s a video on jimi hendrix at that !!! let’s go
Just found this guy where’s he been
I wish i found this 15years ago when i started teaching myself modes😂
I think your view of the world is your view , like so many snow flakes out there today. Now that comment is not really me slighting you. I could Care less about taco bell but you lumped Metallica with the boss ? I can definitely see your vote on the RR hall of ... fame?
Brilliant 👏 ❤❤
Awesome lesson. Thank you for sharing your video ❤❤❤
Absolutely awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic..
When I heard this chord progression I immediately started thinking of house of the rising sun a little, different key and time signature but same harmony in the first four measures and if you really wanted to hone in on it, play in 6/8 or 3/4 time signature. :P
Listen to Fikret Amirov piano concerto 2nd movement.
This is really helpful. I’m a jazz saxophone player and I always was confused why Dorian exists lol. I love Phrygian. Heck, I like Phrygian better than Phrygian Dominant. But I didn’t truly understand either till I found your channel
"Trips"? 😆
Fantastic!!!! Love it man
in the F-Eb-G-C chord progression i guess you could treat it as an ascending semitones, like A,from F-Bb, from Eb, -B, from G, and then-C
Recently I've been analysing Zero Chance by Soundgarden. It drove me slightly mad! I eventually got it to a point were it made sense to me. I sometime wonder if we should be able to write something as 4.5 over 4. It seems mad, but the intro to that song is felt very strongly in the drums as 1 and 2 and 3 and etc but there's 11 quavers. So the only way I could make it work was to write it as 3/8 followed by 4/4 but it would make more sense to call it 4.5/4. If any one is tempted to look at that song don't just look at the intro. The whole song is full of weird time signature changes. Also thanks for the video, I was taught that 6/8 IS a compound metre and it took a long time for me to get past this HIGHLY LIMITING way of thinking/using the metre
Fantastic lesson 👍❤️
Man, this guy makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much
Bravo!!! Excelent video Jake!!!
What program and Equipment do you use/need to record and make backingtracks like you did in the video??? ❤
Thank goodness Signals is back! HORAAY! Jake is supreme as a teacher. I love Rick Beato too, but agree there's a dry academic feeling to his teaching specifically. Nevertheless Rick is great still, likable and smart. But Jake... Jake's the man! :-) Some of his vids are simply the greatest online music teaching! Btw, also excellent... and if you want severe brain strain, try Jens Larsen. Another super, super smart guy! Bu his vids are DENSE beyond compare.
now do super locrian and lydian augmented
and the other modes of the melodic minor scale
Nice.. question...why is the Roman numerals in a minor key i for minor 1? Isn't that really iv in the relative major key? Like it's the aeolian mode of a major key and everything is supposed to be based off the major scale so how can there be a minor 1 chord..like I get that you're playing A minor but shouldn't we be saying were in the key of C? Like is there a diminished 2 chord for minor keys AND a diminished 7chord for major keys? Basically I don't really think a "minor key" exists. Or should be notated as such anyway to avoid confusion. Idk
Wow. Know I know how everyone sings, "Happy Birthday" to Satan. 😅
Great tips!
Finally ! I used this 7#9 Hendrix chord in one of my recordings and didn't know what it was, but it suited the track. Now I know ! Thank Jake 👍
