When I uploaded this video, UA-cam asked me: "Is this video made for kids?" Hell, no...
😀
But ... but ... it's a CARTOON!!!
Amazing video Tommaso, I'm always trying to escape the authentic cadence but could never come up with such creative ideas. I'd be interested in more videos on alternative cadences, hope you will make more!
Not going to lie, being able to hear Backdoor Cadence/Mario Cadence in the Finale before you confirmed felt good.
But there's always so much more to learn. I love the harmonic complexities there are in musicals and it's hard to come across proper theories behind it. So really appreciate the effort you put behind making this video and bringing it to us.
Great video as always Tommaso!
I didn't know that some people called it the "Mario cadence". I've always heard it called "backdoor". Interesting! :)
The fade out is one of my favourite cadences, used on quite a few rock songs with a never ending ending.
Great explanation, thank you. The South Park Movie is an excellent music production also....
You sure love your cadences mr zillio
I like big endings and I cannot lie...
Awesome video! I hear the second to last chord in Happy Day In Hell as simply Dbmaj7add#11 (Db-C-F-G) to Dbmaj7 (Db-C-F-Ab).....and then the singer does whatever she is doing on top :-) (maybe using the Holst trick with changing chords against a static note in the background).
There also seems to be some parallell 6ths on the last three chords (D-Bb ---> C-Ab ---> B-G) that might explain why it sounds so good.
Anyway, very interesting music and great breakdown :-)
Sure, the b9 on the Dbmaj7 is just the pedal held by the singer.
I didn't notice the parallel 6th! That's even cooler! And it would create exactly the opposite movement than in the cadence of "Finale", where the 6ths move up!
Totally! Only took me 30 minutes to find them…

I finally got around to watching this one.
5:59 Don't worry. The Great Vowel Shift was tough for all of us, Tommaso.
7:47 What happened to your whiteboard?
13:23 Too bad you couldn't have used the music stand to put the whiteboard on ...
17:15 Horrible chords provide a lot of dissonance.
17:43 Isn't it also an extended Neapolitan chord? [LATER:] No ...I forgot what key we were in. D'oh!
18:47 The tritone is also known as the Devil's Interval, which makes it suitable for a song about Hell. (Incidentally, maybe the D that's being sung really isn't part of the chord.)
19:59 Hmmm. Sounds like I hit the nail on the head on that one.
"Speak To Me" sets up the rest of Pink Floyd's _Dark Side Of The Moon_ in a similar, non-musical, way.
26:37 "Finale" already is one F-word. Why not add more? 8-)
32:44 Dsus4--Eb--F--G is (sort of) an Andalusian cadence in G minor played backwards.
34:11 "If you're listening to this song, you may think the chords are going wrong. But they're not; we just wrote it like that." -- George Harrison, "Only A Northern Song"
LOVED this! Thank you!
Hi Tommaso, Great video. It's interesting to see the application and your breakdown of what's in your courses. Thanks 👍
What a great video
Aaaaaaamazing!
Wow this is exactly what I'm looking for.. I want to understand what's going on with unusual cadence of songs. It helps a lot in my transcribing
Downloaded this before youtube strikes the use of some words. Great content sir
If you can, when you re-watch it, watch it on UA-cam. Number of view is important for us UA-camrs. Thanks!
Sorry for an off topic question, you use very beautiful reverb, what is that?

Make a video on how to use AI tools to write music as this is becoming essential in this first changing world and if AI will prove to be a threat to musicians...
By the way I am a huge fan of your work
Ai is a threat to musician just like photography was a threat to painters. That is: maybe useful for specific things, but there's still plenty of painters out there. Also, composing music is the FUN part of the process, so I don't think I'll ever delegate that to AI :-)
I suspect many people will agree that the backdoor cadence feels different 🫣 And indeed it's not (always) a straight resolution either. 🙈
More seriously: thanks for the trigger warning about the F bomb. At 8:36, you even dropped an Fm bomb!
Ok, I'm out.
:-)))))) I'm going to steal "Fm-bomb" :-))
Speaking of music theory bombs: Did you know that initially the London residence of the King of England was not called Buckingham Palace, but eventually they found that this tritone substitution sounded better?
I'm still thinking about it and I don't get it...
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar Yeah, it's a bit far fetched... The B of Buckingham being the tritone of...
HAHAHAHAAHAAAaaa :-)))
can't believe there was swearing in the song!
Is that you breaking the DEAL?!? :-))
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar couldn't help it haha!
