thank you so much, this class help me to study.
This video was tremendously helpful!!! Please keep posting videos. I found it extremely insightful in understanding theory better. I really appreciate it.
@DavidE.Farrell your vids are the best on youtube for music theory help. thanks
You teach very well and I thank you for your help!
Hi David thanks for posting these videos! Question about the chord in the last example (~14:00). I understand that based off the series of minor 3rds starting from B natural the resulting whole diminished chord would be B,D,F, Aflat.
But, if you asked me to write a vii whole diminished chord in the key of C minor, would I not start on the diatonic 7th degree (B FLAT) and work from there? Bflat, Dflat, Fflat, A double flat? Wouldn't that chord also be written vii0?
Thanks!
Hi Zach, thanks for your question! Minor is more complex than major because we have multiple versions of some pitches - C minor uses both A-flat and A-natural, and both B-flat and B-natural, because of the other "forms" of minor scales (natural, harmonic, melodic).
What this means is that there a couple diatonic chords built on scale degree seven - there is VII (B-flat, D, F) and there is viio (B-natural, D, F).
Some of these are found more frequently in music, but both of these are considered diatonic chords. I talk about this a bit in the next video on common diatonic triads, if you'd like to check that out as well.
Hope this helps!
Why does the G7/B Natural in the last set of examples do not have a capital M with the Roman Numeral?
Hello! The reason is that it is a dominant (major triad+minor seventh) chord, not a major seventh chord (major triad+major seventh). Dominant chords use no abbreviation (like G7); major 7th chords use the M (GM7).
How do I know it's an E minor and not an E major
Good question! The answer is a little long, and so I made a video about identifying triads here: czcams.com/video/8dWeUyrLnHI/video.html
David E. Farrell thank you so much :)
