Quick fun MinMaj7 factoid I forgot to include- If you take an Augmented triad, you can pick any note and add in the tone a half step above it. This will give you a minMaj7 chord in some inversion or another. There is an Aug triad in every mM7 so you may get the Aug feel out of it, depending on the context
1dir I love this chord progression. It’s major actually. But your borrowing the minor 4 from the parallel minor. That minor 4 to the major 1 is called a minor plagal cadence
1dir Are you thinking of Radiohead's 'Creep'? That's I - III - IV - iv. I don't think it's in any particular mode - it seems to modulate, if that's the right term.
Your intros are great! Jarvis Johnson has a similar trait, if you wanna know what the limit of “too much” is like. Remember, we’re you’re audience :) each one of us are here cause we like you and your content. Don’t hold back on us bro! Unless it’s for Patrons only of course ;) (Omg please don’t make funny intros patron only that would be selling out.)
LT1FirebirdSLP dude the thumbnail made me pick up my guitar lol. Cause I wanted to hear the chord before I watched the video, so I knew what to expect.
7:11 That's a good general explanation of why music theory is so important; especially if you're interested in creating music yourself. It's about chunking information and labeling stuff so that learning the whole language of music becomes easier and so you don't have to rely on just trial and error alone. Also: just being able to very quickly communicate musical ideas with others is such a blessing!
If i remember correctly, the end piano arpeggio of Dream Theater's "In the name of god" is a minor major 7, just before the linking note between train of thought and octavarium.
Cool! Dream Theater is the first thing that I thought of when Jake was going between the major root and the mM7 4th. My brain pulled some of DT's songs from its index and immediately identified the familiar-sounding progression. It's almost like inhaling a scent that you haven't smelled since childhood and reliving it again, except now I am able to identify the "chemistry" that makes up that scent. Thanks, Jake, for adding knowledge so that I don't just have to wait for that "scent" to appear. Now I can recreate it myself. You're awesome!
Kookycloud Actually Octavarium starts with the same F piano note on The Root of all Evil that In the Name of God ends with, so Train of Thought does link to Octavarium.
ELO Strange Magic I just watch your video on mixolydian Flat 6 and wrote a song with it now I'm going to implement the minor major 7. You never cease to amaze me absolutely adore your videos and soon will become a patron
Just came back to this after a few months; I loved this lesson so much, I wrote a whole song (vocals and guitar) using the Mixolydian b6 scale in E, and the main intro and verse, I've used that I to ivM7 change. It's one of my favourite things I've ever written, so thank you so much for giving me the tools to write it!
vibraphone players use this chord/arpeggio wih tremolo effect very muchly, But i didn't know the name , so thanks. It is the musical equivalent of a question mark
The I Maj to IV min-maj progression you showed is used all the time in R&B music like R Kelly. Another similar progression is the I maj to ii half-diminished chord which exists in the same mixolydian #6 scale.
Thank you for a fun, inventive intro. I just now found you thru this video that was posted on a guitar forum to help explain the Major minor concept. So well done! Inspired teaching. Your positive attitude and clarity are a breath of fresh air. Thanks! Many in the forum described it as part of a (descending) line cliche. Many examples were given from My Funny Valentine to Stairway to Heaven to your example of Something.
One of the best channels out there in youtube not only for guitarist buy for everyone who loves and intersted in music. Really love your content and you deserved the amount of subs you got and it will grow further than that. Relly happy I found your channel.
You do a really good job at connecting, what I consider to be pretty in depth music theory, with examples that make students immediately understand the ‘feel’ of the given topic. This channel is binge worthy! Thanks for the content
Very informative lesson on the Maj/min chord concepts. Did not know their construction theory. I have used them sparingly in various songs like you showed. But I did not know some of the lovely sounding inversions like you played! Thank you for that. Jerry
Subscribing to this channel!!! It seems crazy how I've never understood completely how majmin chords worked on my music theory class, but now I completely understand it! Amazing video!
I'm in a composition class based on 20th century techniques, we barely go over harmony and this video really helped me out a lot ! Planning to make movements and one of them has a concept of a dream :)
Im happy to see this chord showing up. A few month ago I had a great idea: create an excel with all kind of chords, literally all kind of chords and I made a description cell next to the chords's name to express the feeling in words what i had felt when I played it. That was the moment when I found the Xm maj7 chord. Its awesom!
Love your channel,. Jake! I look forward to all your videos. I've been playing for over 25 years (self-taught), and yet still I have found nuggets of great musical ideas that I've never executed till now. You've actually helped push my guitar playing to new heights! Thank you, Mr. Lizzio!
Jake, you are the best teacher on UA-cam hands down! I've been playing for 1 million years and know most of the stuff that you are presenting, but you put it so concisely and so simply that it influences the way I teach things to my own students. Thank you for managing to be so thorough and concise at the same time!
You're a great educator, I've learned so much from your videos, even after 20 years of making music! Also, I'm getting strong Mike Rutherford vibes from your guitar playing in that piece near the end :D
I have recently found your UA-cam channel and I'm loving it the way you explain things I'm picking up a lot more than I have from other channels plus you have a smooth radio voice...lol
9 chords would be awesome too or just in general how to make really pretty but unique feeling chord progressions, that’s personally what I’d love to see more of at least! Great video again!!!!
I usually don't feel compelled to really comment on anything but man, just wanted to thank you for so many compelling and well-explained videos, you're making me love and understand music on such a higher level. Thanks a whole lot dude you have no idea how much you're helping and making it fun and fascinating in the process
Thank you very much for doing these videos! I‘ve been playing guitar for over 19 years now and always just played by ear. Your videos help me understand and also inspire me to write new things I‘ve never heard about. I‘m sure that lovely E to A min maj7 change will be in a song soon :)
Very nice explanation and examples of the chord as well as on how to use it. I love that mysterious intro and I didn't even know Team Fortress 2 (which I always hear people talking about) has a nice surf style theme.
I was already doing the melodic thing with that DM Gmaj7 tonality and do it with m6 and augmented chords too. Never thought about it as a minor major 7. Cool video. Subbed.
Great episode as usual. I loved the intro :) I'll definitely experiment some new backing tracks using that chord. Do you think it sounds similar to diminished or m7b5 chords? it would be good if you could make an episode about those dark/spooky/tensed chords. Keep rocking.
I'm tired up, financially, but I intend on supporting your patron. I'm a theory nerd and a composer. I love your work probably the best ive heard. please do videos on form....particularly development
The complex December's Boudoir (1968) by the extraordinary Laura Nyro finishes on a minor major with string harp after running through about 40 other chords. She was a significant influence on Steely Dan and scores of other songwriters.
The "spooky" factor is actually a really late use of the "minor Major 7th" chord. It has been used for centuries as a retardation (i.e. a delayed resolution) rather than a "chord." Bach's St. Matthew Passion has a ton of amazing uses, but one of my favorites probably has to come from Monteverdi. When they used it back in the day it was usually to convey anguish and lament rather than "spookiness" or "mystery." It's a fantastic sound. You can also use the chord as a double retardation, but that's a much less common use.
That intro had me rolling on the floor! Really, your intros alone should've gotten you to a lot more subs. Maybe everyone is making funny intros nowadays? You've still got great videos though. I do think being a bit more regular might help. All the big channels I know post fairly regularly, usually at least once a week :)
Min(Maj7) under melodic minor has a super strange effect on solos. Take a fragment of Am(M7) as ascending arpeggio = G# C E G# (7 b3 5 7). This arpeggio has several tones from the augmented scale. But continue playing after this augmented triad up the melodic minor, gives you G# A B C. These are notes found in the diminished scale. So you can play an augmented scale run that leads into the diminished scale. And because both augmented and diminished scales repeat, you can play this augmented diminished run up and down the neck and it sounds crazy. Care needs to be taken as you can't use the full augmented or diminished scales, but playing scale fragments really works over min(M7)
Excellent video, Jake! Halfway through the video, the non-spooky version of the chord started to sound really familiar.. and I had my bingo moment when you mentioned Mixolydian b6. Yup, this would be perfect for songs set in that scale (or raga Charukesi in Indian music, which has quite a few Indian music compositions using it).
You should do a video on augmented chords/triads sometimes, I haven't seen too many people make an interesting video about them. Personally, I've always viewed them as a sense of disorientation, like being lost in the desert, or traveling through space or something. plus there is the ambiguity with the root note since all of the notes are spaced equally
Great video, the intro is brilliant. Guess I will have troubles sleeping after this: 0:41. Only wish you should have mentioned "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd, where it's so prominent and sounds amazing! It must be the first song in which I encountered MinMaj7 in such a form, not as in-between.
Life in a Glass House by radiohead also uses a strong minor-major 7th chord. Also most minor jazz tunes use it as the tonic chord, either that or a minor 6th chord.
I believe that whole I - IVmM7 is what composer John Williams used for Leia's Theme (part of the star wars soundtrack) and it's just so beautiful and relaxing to listen to. :)
Thanks Jake, your stuff is awesome and I really appreciate how you focus on things as individual musical palettes with their own characteristics. And giving context is so important for this stuff, even just a plain minor chord can sound totally different depending on where you hear it Did you ever make a video about how you decide which chords you like, when you build a set from a scale and then pick the ones you think really define the sound? I have some ideas but it would be cool to hear your thought process on it!
I like the trick with the D and the GmM7. I'm guessing it works because both chords contain the major 3rd interval between the D and the F#. I like using mM7 chords as extensions on the 1 in minor keys i.e. like you were saying about the harmonic minor scale
I was just watching your video "How To Write Progressions using min7, maj7, and Dominant 7th chords [Songwriting - Music Theory]" and while watching, it begged the question: What about Maj7th notes on a minor chord? I UA-cam it and found this... man I'm cracking up at your intro! It was so well done.

Does this occur at all in the perry mason theme song?

Thank you for the reply... ;)
1dir
Are you thinking of Radiohead's 'Creep'? That's I - III - IV - iv.
I don't think it's in any particular mode - it seems to modulate, if that's the right term.
Your intros are just amazing hahaha.
I almost didn't put this intro in, I thought it might be too much :P
@@SignalsMusicStudiohaha
Don't hold back on your intros.
They are hilarious man.

Nice
This channel is awesome. If this doesn't motivate you to pick up that guitar and start learning how to play, I don't know what can!
LT1FirebirdSLP dude the thumbnail made me pick up my guitar lol. Cause I wanted to hear the chord before I watched the video, so I knew what to expect.
Listenin to Radiohead
mahn
A bong a weed and an overinflated imagination.
add a 9th for extra mystery...and play it on vibraphone....suddenly you're in a dream
Just don't precede it with a regular minor triad, lest you be sued by Spirit
ua-cam.com/video/LJrlckLBtT0/v-deo.html
The very last chord
Or beat the hell out of it for the ultimate Big Ending chord, especially if you have horns in the band
Moog Lee I say a flat 9 makes it sound more mystic
or a 6th....or both ;-)
mM7 is like a tamed augmented chord. Still spooky and mysterious but not too sour.
nicely said!
It's like the half diminished chord being the less harsh diminished
7:11 That's a good general explanation of why music theory is so important; especially if you're interested in creating music yourself. It's about chunking information and labeling stuff so that learning the whole language of music becomes easier and so you don't have to rely on just trial and error alone.

This chord is more *Noir* than a cigarette in a black & white package.
If i remember correctly, the end piano arpeggio of Dream Theater's "In the name of god" is a minor major 7, just before the linking note between train of thought and octavarium.
Ah yeah! It's been a while since I spun that album but I do remember that chord, followed by the low note
Yeah the examples for the Mixolydian b6 progression literally made me think "The Dream Theater chord"
Cool! Dream Theater is the first thing that I thought of when Jake was going between the major root and the mM7 4th. My brain pulled some of DT's songs from its index and immediately identified the familiar-sounding progression. It's almost like inhaling a scent that you haven't smelled since childhood and reliving it again, except now I am able to identify the "chemistry" that makes up that scent.
Thanks, Jake, for adding knowledge so that I don't just have to wait for that "scent" to appear. Now I can recreate it myself. You're awesome!
What? Tot doesn’t connect with Octavarium, but six degrees of inner turbulence...
Kookycloud Actually Octavarium starts with the same F piano note on The Root of all Evil that In the Name of God ends with, so Train of Thought does link to Octavarium.
6:03 Wow, that progression was so weird, really love it! Soothing but kinda tense.
ELO Strange Magic I just watch your video on mixolydian Flat 6 and wrote a song with it now I'm going to implement the minor major 7. You never cease to amaze me absolutely adore your videos and soon will become a patron

wow, I'm learning so much thanks to you!!!
You have a natural affinity for teaching. All of your lessons are easy to understand. I refer back to them often.
That Mixolydian b6 thing really gave me major Rush 2112-Discovery vibes. I wonder if they used that in that song. I’ll have to look.

Your voice is just so soothing to listen to. Thanks for sharing all this knowledge
Jake - your teaching method is excellent. I am learning as much about that as I am about music!
I think the "James Bond chord" is an E minor major 9 rather than a mM7. (E - G - B - D# - F#)
This is mM7add9

I'm sure they did not use it as a tonic chord, "Bach" in Baroque times...
That intro had me rolling on the floor! Really, your intros alone should've gotten you to a lot more subs. Maybe everyone is making funny intros nowadays? You've still got great videos though.
I do think being a bit more regular might help. All the big channels I know post fairly regularly, usually at least once a week :)
