Hi my name is David. Thanks a lot. Your videos are so amazing. I learn music and also practice English listening. You have got a new subscriber from Colombia, South America .
Lol just happened the same to me a while ago i started modulating sweet child o mine by gnr to the actual key (Gb-Ebm) during the solo (i played everything before the solo in G) and that change just sounded dope and know makes sense lol
I found that a really useful modulation, from a major key, is to briefly drop to the key a semitone below, then go to the fourth of that key. E.g. F# drops to F, which goes back up to Bb.
Thank you! I'm a newbie at this kind of thing, but I now have the confidence and skill to lead our little congregation tomorrow in singing "Before the Throne of God Above" a half step higher on the last verse. We're not really a musically accomplished bunch, but I think the folks'll be able to follow this modulation easily enough. Thx again!
Very good and helpful. One slight caveat - some people might say that C sharp/D flat IS close to C. Depends what you mean by "close". In conventional harmony C,G,D etc are considered close, but if one simply looks at pitch then surely B major and C sharp could also be considered close. Just terminology.
Close in pitch but not close in key eg C major to G major is one sharp away. C major to Db major is five flats away. Apologies for the delayed response.
It seems to me that we can see this from another angle, for me there is not only a common note, but a complete common chord, because we can consider that this Ab7 is also the German 6th chord in the key of C, at least, this is how I hear it. Nice video, as usual !
I wonder, is there a "cheat sheet" where all possible pivot note modulations to distant keys (say, 4+ accidentals away) are laid out? I'd assume the number of such modulations is manageable?
@@MusicMattersGB Wow - a cheat sheet of modulations would be incredibly helpful! Then we could practice and hopefully gain proficiency by working through modulation exercises. If arriving at the new key takes more than 1 step, laying out these as well would be a blessing. Thanks for considering, and for producing such brilliant videos!!
@@pjny123 For modulations involving more than one pivot chord, there's a whole book by Reger, because there are so many. However, I personally find it very confusing how it's laid out and which modulation he chooses to showcase. He claims that his aim is to showcase the simplest or most direct ways from one key to another, yet he often uses chromatic pivot chords such as the Neapolitan and the minor v to get from a key to its own subdominant, or even from a key to its own enharmonic equivalent. Never really understood what that was about. But yeah, I think if you consider longer modulations, the options are limitless, but if you have a good understanding of all possible single-step ones, you can chain them together as you please. Thanks @Music Matters for considering my suggestion!
Wow this video and many others has really opened my eyes to how much I don't know about playing the piano. I guess I've been tinkering with it all my life but never really learned any of this stuff. I feel like I have to start from scratch. What would you recommend I start with as far as an instructional video? Thanks for your time and contribution.
Hi. Great to hear from you. The best thing would be to work through our online Theory courses at www.mmcourses.co.uk Grades 1-5 take you step by step from the start through all the nuts and bolts of music theory. You can purchase the 1-5 bundle at a good discount. If you want to save even more go for the 1-8 bundle which takes you further into applying all the knowledge in deeper ways. Hope that’s helpful.
Just curious - watching this again. At 6 minutes 07 seconds the white board actually shows a chord with 5 notes - Aflat - Eflat- Gflat - Aflat-C. Ah - that's OK - the A flat is doubled - but seems confusing if not checked. It is indeed the A flat dominant seventh. Thanks.
Yes. One semitone down is harder. You can still use the V7-I trick in the new key but there’s no pivot. In most musical contexts one wants to go up eg vocal warmups, last verse of a song etc.
Hi Gareth, thank you for another great tutorial. What about doing a Minor Key Semione shift. I'm in the key of C minor playing the C minor chord and want to modulate up to the new key of C# minor playing the C# minor chord, what would you recommend as a good chord to get me there..
it's easier if you know other scales aside the Major scale. But even if you didnt know or scales. The lesson is C NOTE into Db..keep it simple like that. Im on the guitar it's VISUALLY easier for me to SEE the 5 th to whatever note or chord...because the strings are tuned to perfect 4th or inverted 5th. From C..to Db..I'll simply see the Ab note on the same fret..a string lower.lol and just play a DOMINANT CHORD.lol....it's SIMPLE and EASY Then it's just Ab7 into Db...it dosnt have to be Ab7...it could be Ab maj7. or C dim, min or Augmented...basically C whATEver into Db It dosnt really have to be the Ab chord....that's just for quick reference. it's just C into Db.... You can stack WHATEVER above or below the C note... That's the lesson....it's just the C NOTE into Db. example...I can play F maj7 or F min or F7 into the Db MAJOR. C is simply just the 5th of F or i can play F# dim or F# lydian ish...becuase the C note is the #4 of F# or I can play A min into Db....becuase the C note is just the b3 of A min ect.... it;s just a passing NOTE or LEADING TONE into a CHORD or TONIC or just play Amin G#7 into C# min or Db min it's easier to read....C# min/E MAJOR or or A dim C dim into C# MAJOR/A# min ( Db MAJOR/Bbmin) apply the same concept to whatever KEYS you want to play into D into Eb..... play whatever D into Eb such as C maj.....D dim/aug into Eb MAJOR (D# min/F#MAJOR) or C Maj F dim into F# MAJOR/D#mim or C Maj D7 into Eb MAJOR....ect or C Maj G min into Eb MAJOR

Great tutorial. Just one question for my understanding about the term Dominant 7. Did you play Db Major 7? I always thought the Dominant 7 refers to the minor 7 chord on the 5th (dominant) of a scale. ie in Db major it would be Ab7.
Recently found your channel and very happy that I did. Your explanations are easy to understand and I finally know how to modulate, but my question is how do you go back to the original key? I started in C Major, used the Ab chord to get to Db, but then I don't know how to get back to C.
You could use the tonic chord of Db major as a Neapolitan chord in C major and go straight back to the original key (see our video on the Neapolitan chord) or you could travel through other keys between Db major and C major using pivot chords on the way.
what if you want to modulate during the Chorus, The Song is in A but the Chorus starts in D (the four chord) what would be a good pivot chord going from D to Elfat, The new Key is Bflat Help.
@@MusicMattersGB Thank you very much, I am a songwriter and I am helping a female singer who wrote her song by singing acapella only, after her first chorus I can tell she instinctively wants to move up a half step and sing it again. I will try this but I also watched your video regarding using Diminished Chord for modulation I may try that as well, Thanks!!!
You could do that, mainly because the V7 modulating chord is the same for the major or the minor key a semitone higher. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk including our 25 online courses and details of Music Matters Maestros.
Hi, these videos are so good. The beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, modulates up a semitone, but it does it in such a weird way that is hard to understand. The verse is in A major i believe. The "picture yourself on in a boat on a river" part. Then for the next section "cellophane flowers of yellow and green" it modulates to B flat. How exactly do they get there? Its really clever, but i havent a clue what they actually do. From a theory perspective. Would be great if you made a video explaining this. Thanks

F minor could also work as a pivot chord between C major and D-flat major. Think of it as a dominant substitute chord.
That’s perfectly possible
Brilliant lesson.
Thanks.
Do you have lessons in scale/mode modulation?
Thank you. There are various videos on our channel about modulation

Hi. You can do it exactly the same way. Use V7 in C# minor and you’re there. All the best. Gareth
My Own Way in that case the pivot note will also be C, enharmonically the same as the B-sharp in the G#7 chord.
Absolutely
im guessing beethoven learned how to do this by watching your videos lol
Ha ha 😀😀😀
With the subtitles/captions turned on
😀
Interesting video! Isn't it a little unusual though to modulate from C major to D-flat Major with an augmented octave?
If the C to Db moves a semitone/ half step, as in this video, that’s very smooth
Splendid lesson. I wonder if this c major phrase is a part of some classical piece of music because I heard it being played in other videos too?
It’s simply dealing with the c major scale
it's easier if you know other scales aside the Major scale.
But even if you didnt know or scales.
The lesson is C NOTE into Db..keep it simple like that.
Im on the guitar it's VISUALLY easier for me to SEE the 5 th to whatever note or chord...because the strings are tuned to perfect 4th or inverted 5th.
From C..to Db..I'll simply see the Ab note on the same fret..a string lower.lol
and just play a DOMINANT CHORD.lol....it's SIMPLE and EASY
Then it's just Ab7 into Db...it dosnt have to be Ab7...it could be Ab maj7.
or C dim, min or Augmented...basically C whATEver into Db
It dosnt really have to be the Ab chord....that's just for quick reference.
it's just C into Db....
You can stack WHATEVER above or below the C note...
That's the lesson....it's just the C NOTE into Db.
example...I can play F maj7 or F min or F7 into the Db MAJOR.
C is simply just the 5th of F
or i can play F# dim or F# lydian ish...becuase the C note is the #4 of F#
or I can play A min into Db....becuase the C note is just the b3 of A min
ect....
it;s just a passing NOTE or LEADING TONE into a CHORD or TONIC
or just play Amin G#7 into C# min or Db min
it's easier to read....C# min/E MAJOR or
or A dim C dim into C# MAJOR/A# min ( Db MAJOR/Bbmin)
apply the same concept to whatever KEYS you want to play into
D into Eb.....
play whatever D into Eb
such as C maj.....D dim/aug into Eb MAJOR (D# min/F#MAJOR)
or C Maj F dim into F# MAJOR/D#mim
or C Maj D7 into Eb MAJOR....ect
or C Maj G min into Eb MAJOR

Can you use a -iv chord as a pivot chord then modulate up to the target key?
If it works in the given context
@@MusicMattersGB thank you for the reply I meant in the context of an interrupted minor plaza cadence
Yes. Good place to use it.
Could this also work returning to C Maj after a secondary dominant in Db Maj by using the F as a pivot note to return to C Maj V7?

But wouldn’t the dominant 7th in Db Major be a Cb, or in this case, a B? You’re still playing the C. Maybe I missed something.
In Db major the Dominant note is Ab so the Dominant chord is Ab C Eb. Add the 7th, which is Gb.
@@MusicMattersGB thank you. I was confusing it with a 7th tone where it’s dropped a semi tone, ie, C7 C E G Bb. So it’s the dominant which is the 5th tone (Ab) and the 7th tone from that is Gb?
Absolutely
@@MusicMattersGB so if I wanted to go from B a semi tone up to C would a pivot tone be C# then to the Dominant 7th to the G7 then to the tonic C?
Use B rather than C# and the rest will work perfectly.
Is this another word for transposing? Yvonne
Not quite but it’s about changing key rather than necessarily taking a piece in one key and playing it in another.
D flat has 5 flats but it has 7 sharps as c#
😀
CONFUSED, WHAT IS D FLAT DOMINANT ?
The Dominant is the 5th degree of the scale
@@MusicMattersGB So The Dominant of Db major is Ab =Ab - C - Eb - Gb, but in white board u wrote Cb too , how it comes Cflat,?
