  • Welcome back for another episode of Music Theory in 5 minutes. Today we'll talk about 9th chords, all the different types of 9th chords we can find in a major scale, a natural minor scale and in the harmonic minor scale.
    We'll see how all these types of 9th chord are built and how to use them.

    This is outstanding. You provide an accurate, methodically understandable description with good graphics and audio examples. Good for visual and auditory learners. Great job of putting the chords into context with comments on typical usage. I'm chintzy with compliments for musicians - either players or teachers. You're good. Please keep these coming.

    I figured out & wanted to add that the reason a m7m9 a chord works best in the 3rd degree of a scale is that you can imagine the 3 of the m7m9 chord as also being the 1 of the relative major scale, making the 3, 5, 7, and 9 of your m7m9 chord the same as a dominant chord in the relative major scale. Then the 1 of your m7m9 chord would be considered the 6th of the relative major scale, making the imagined dominant chord into a 7add13 chord (would that be a proper notation?) if you transpose the 6 up an octave to avoid too much dissonance, since the 6 of a scale is also the 13.
    Not sure how often knowing this is useful for actual playing because I'm not a great player yet, but I'm sure someone else will find this interesting as well.

    Well I didn't learn music theory but found out them myself. However in my system the 7b9 chord is standalone. This chord has extreme moods in sorrow and usually come with a progression of Bm7b5 E7b9 Am in a Am key song. You nailed it with theory.

    Love that you go all the way to The James Bond Chord (minor 7 with a major 9) AND
    The Ring Motif from Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen, fully diminished 7 flat 9) (leitmotif associated with The Ring of Power from said work.)
    You didn't mention a minor/major 7 in third inversion (with 7th in the bass) which happens at Darth Vader's Entrance in both Star Wars ANH 1977 and Star Wars ROTJ 1983 (not a coincidence, I feel. I mean, a minor major 7 chord in THIRD inversion??? in association with the same dramatic symbol, twice? not an accident:)
    also, people:
    NONE of these chords 'need' to be resolved at all:), remember this.
    I know he is talking about typically, for purposes of learning, but in some the above examples, and in others, said chords/sound complexes simply ARE the effect a composer is going for, without resolution.

    Merci for this. I'm a Nooby on the piano and started with English videos. But when I went into my music store and started talking with them about music, I bought a bilingual book for kids that explains the basics of French music theory. I tend to watch most of my videos in English but think I should also at least have a complement since conversations up until now have been awkward. It's a good thing that my daughter's boyfriend is fluent in English, but we don't see each other often. Do you also do French speaking videos?

      @@Woochia Thanks man, I was also wondering about the C+9 chord, which I've seen built as an augmented triad, a minor 7th, and sharp 9th. On your video you have a slide that shows it's a major triad, major 7th, and sharp 9th. Then on a different slide, you have it as an augmented triad, major 7th, sharp 9th. That's the only part I'm confused on now. I see in a music book I have, and other places on the internet, that there's like 4 chords people are calling the augmented 9th chord. Even the hendrix chord. Very confusing, maybe there's just no agreement what it should be. I think an augmented 7th chord is 1 3 #5 b7, and that seems to be agreed upon. So an augmented 9th probably doesn't have a major 7th, I wouldn't think? This is starting to hurt my brain now lol.
      I think in your video at 10:48 it might actually just be a M7#9 chord, and an augmented 9th chord would be 1, 3, #5, b7, 9...

      Hey, I believe you’re referring to modes! Playing from E in the key of G Major would mean you’re in the Aeolian mode, better known as the relative minor. You’d be playing the natural minor scale.
      I do recommend doing some research into modes, as they can unlock some very useful, interesting new colours to play with. Good luck!

    • @Woochia
      @Woochia  Před 18 dny

      If you follow the chords of the scale, yes. But the degree V is almost always turned into a major chord when it is used in a cadence. It is even most likely turned into a dominant 7 chord (hence the name, because it's the dominant of the scale). This is what created the harmonic minor scale. If you want more explanations on that I have a video on minor scales and the V chord being major.

      Yes, it should be possible. I would use it on the degree 1 as well. In this case it would be a borrowing (from the parallel minor tonality). To make it work, it all depends on context though. Try and make sure every voice in the harmony have a logical movement that lead to the note you need to make your mM7M9 chord

    Good video, but why using the notation m7m9 and not m7b9? I actually have never seen m7m9 in a lead sheet. As m9 implies a natural 9, and m7m9 implies a flat 9, this can be confusing, as the m in m9 refers to the 3rd, and the m before the 9 in m7m9 refers to the 9th. Why at all use two different notations to denote a flat 9?

    How can you augment a 9th on the 9 dominant chord? That would make the last three notes form an inversion of a major chord with its base in the augmented ninth
    Like you showed with c major the last there notes would make eb major
    This is wrong, we dont call eb major "g augmented fifth minor" we call it what it is

    • @Woochia
      @Woochia  Před 8 měsíci

      Let's see. I'll break it down to see it clearer.
      A chord of G7#9 for example is the notes G, B, D, F, A#.
      And you say the last 3 notes make a major chord. And yes, D, F, A# can be seen as Bb, D, F which is a Bb major chord.
      But it is played with a G and a B and we have to consider the full chord.
      Like if we play a m7th, says a Dm7th chord (D, F, A, C). We don't say it's a F major chord (F, A, C) with a D.
      Also it's a matter of context. This G7#9 chord would be used in a tonality of C major for example. Then the Bb major chord would be out of the tonality. And it would be particularly weird to play it with a B at the same time. So it would make more sense to consider it a 7#9 chord.
      Now say not all the notes of the 7#9 chord are present. Then you have to lean more on the context to analyse it. And if you have a chord preparing a Bb chord, then it could be a Bb chord indeed. Sometimes one chord in one song can be analysed as several different chords, so you had good eyes seeing this major chord in the 7#9.
