      @@christopherkettlewell7386 you could tritone sub any of those and it would make some interesting progressions. In that situation it works well because otherwise he would be going from A minor to A7, and that would sound more like a modulation and wouldn't be that seamless.
      And doing a first inversion on the D is also an arbitrary choice, you can do it on any of the chords you feel like, I like it because of the minor second movement in the bass.

      @@Akram-b3myes! picking up the piano later in life has brought me so much joy and fulfilment… just give the keys a tinkle, don’t expect too much from it but try to get across the flavour of what you feel (since you can feel it). It’s helpful to have a constraint like only use white keys or only use black keys, or only use one hand and keys within a span of that hand. And focus on expressing with rhythm, tone, and note choice. Good luck!!

      @TorbenMahnsMusic Před rokem +25

      I get you, but I think that's not the point though, it's a seemless transition, not really a key change or modulation. so yeah you can hear it as subdominant to C still, but I think It's more about taking more detours through relative dominant connections to approach the F more colourfully. And then after that it has the potential to guide you in a different direction. :)

      @@Marunius Maybe it's too much of the classical harmony training, but for me it doesn't click. Using a series of secondary dominants doesn't make you forget the start key, it's just an "exponential" secondary dominant series targetting the IV chord. For diatonic modulation you need to put the VI chord of the target key somewhere as an anchor, then it really starts to feel like modulation.
      And the series was lit AF, I just was disappointed to not really learn a new modulating technique :D

    For my pals who have no clue what a secondary dominant is (neither did I, so I googled it), in short it's just a Dominant (V or V7) to the Tonic (I) chord progression in another key from the original. The Tonic (I) chord, however, must be a chord that is in the original key.
    This is definitely a huge simplification, but I think this is the main idea!
