    In case anyone cares: the progression at 4:12 sounds identical to a progression known in classical music as a German augmented sixth. However, it's written slightly differently (in this case, with an F# instead of a Gb), and is more common in minor keys. In classical music, it always resolves to the dominant chord, as here.

      Wouldn't the German 6th in C have a C natural though, instead of the Cb in the Ab minor chord above?

  • @shout4371
    @shout4371 Před 7 měsíci +25

    Also the 5 and b9 of a dominant chord form a tritone. This tritone and the tritone formed by the 3 and 7 together form a diminished 7th chord, which can be used to make 4 different 7b9 chords by simply adding different bass notes. You can the substitute these out for each other for even more interesting variations. For example, if we have the progression Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7. Adding a flat ninth to the G7 gives us G7b9, with the notes G B D F Ab. If we take out the root note, we are left with B D F Ab, which is a diminished seventh chord. Now we can use this same diminished 7 chord with either Bb, E, Db, or G as a bass note and we will get 4 different 7b9 chords that share 2 separate tritones, meaning that any of these chords can resolve to any chord that any of the individual 7b9 chords can resolve to. In our example of Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7, we can substitute G7 for either E7b9, Db7b9, or Bb7b9 and the chord will still resolve. Let's use Bb7b9. We can do Dm7 - Bb7b9 - Cmaj7. And then from there you can use the Bb's ii chord: Fm7 - Bb7b9 - Cmaj7. Or you can substitute a chord from another mode, for example: Dm7(b5) - Bb7b9 - Cmaj7. Etc etc. I found this out on my own and I think it's really cool.

    • @santiagobautista245
      @santiagobautista245 Před 5 měsíci

      Why those bass notes, i mean, when you have G B D F Ab and You take out the G and add Bb E or Db, what is the relationship of G and those other bass notes? I can't understand that part because i'm mexican, i speak spanish and the translator doesn't work good for theese comments, also i don't have too knowledge on music theory, anyway, thank you very much 🙏.

    • @ryanhass8716
      @ryanhass8716 Před 5 měsíci +1

      @@santiagobautista245 Think of a dominant 7 flat 9 chord. B7 flat 9, for example. Look at it as 2 seperate components, the root (B) + diminished 7th chord (C, D#/Eb, F#, A) a semi tone above the root.
      So if you wanted to change a chord progression up with a substitution, you could replace that B root note with D or F or Ab/G# beneath that diminished 7th chord (C, D#, F#, or A). The relation of the root note is just one semitone beneath one of those notes.
      So in theory, you could start with a good, but basic sounding F#m7b5, B7b9, Em7
      And change it to F#m7b5, D7b9 or F7b9 or G#7b9, Em7
      I hope that explained it well enough!

    @trumpetman Před 6 lety +25

    Most don’t explain what a “tritone” is. Three “tones” or six “semitones” if you know the European system. I didn’t so I didn’t grasp the concept of “tritone” until much later. We call “semitones” and “tones” “half steps” and “whole steps” in the US but we still use “tritone” and no one had explained that for me clearly in 20 years of music making. For some of us it’s important to know the origins and reasons for names and the things they’re named for, I hope this helps anyone that thinks like me.
