    I consider myself an advanced musician (several decades of semi-professional experience), and I know these concepts, but you explain it so clearly, without overcomplicating it with extra faff. You take the magic out of being a jazz pianist, and I mean that as a giant compliment (even if it sounds rude lol).

      This was a fantastic video! You did a great job of explaining this basic, yet often misunderstood (or simply not understood), concept in a way that made the theory side of it entirely approachable for almost anyone who has even the most basic familiarity with beginning music theory.
      The two-tiers of examples provided "something for everyone," and your pacing was entirely on point.
      You're doing seriously important work here, making music theory more accessible and understandable to all musicians, by demystifying it and clearly demonstrating the concepts as you present them.

    Secondary Dominants are where I feel like my deep dive into music theory actually started.
    This and voicing/voice leading are probably the most fundamental concepts that I learned in music theory.
    They helped clear up the relationship between the tonic and dominant, and how voices interact with each other. Many later concepts build off of it and takes it even further. (Altered chords, tritone subs, borrowed chords, min7b5, backdoor progressions, ii V I etc.)

    • @thehiddenyogi8557
      @thehiddenyogi8557 2 роки тому +1

      Yes, Georgia On My Mind, in the Key of G, has a B7 which is the secondary dominant to the E minor that follows it. What you are hearing is that secondary dominant transitioning the tune to its relative minor. But then the E minor is followed by a walkdown to D minor to C, then to a C# diminished. I am not quite sure what the function of the D minor is; maybe it is nothing more than a passing chord which features an F natural in it which helps establish the bluesiness of the tune and helping resolve to the E note in the C chord. But I digress....

    The dominant chord is usually thought about as a fifth above (7 half steps), you should probably mention that as well so people that are new to music theory don’t get confused.

    • @HuardSmith
      @HuardSmith 2 роки тому +11

      I had the same reaction. The idea to me is that we insert a V-I progression, a perfect cadence, to get to our target chord (I chord). Dominant to Tonic. And in 7th form, that’s V7-I (or Imaj7); the dominant 7th of the target TO the target.
      Of course, a chord that is a 4th below is the same as the one that is a 5th above.
      And with a minor chord (like the Am in the example) you’d use a minor scale, eg the natural minor scale, and use the v-i progression. In the Am case, that’s Em to Am. But if we use the harmonic minor scale instead of the natural minor, the fifth of the i chord is a major, and in the Am case, it is E (major) and in that scale, it’s 7th form is E7, the dominant 7th.
      We get to the same place, but in my mind, it’s easy to think of using a perfect cadence each time - 5 to 1 - and that 5 is the “secondary dominant” chord, not THE dominant chord of the key of the piece, but the dominant chord of the target chord; a temporary thing outside the key.

    • @ernestebell1735
      @ernestebell1735 2 роки тому +3

      Music theory says that a secondary dominant is a V7/ the target chord. Therefore, really, it's a perfect 5th above the target, not a perfect 4th below, though they get to the same place. It's just a little weird thinking of a V7 chord being a 4th below, rather than a 5th (as in V) above. Nice video, though.

    • @HuardSmith
      @HuardSmith 2 роки тому +2

      @@ernestebell1735 on a guitar, one usually says it is tuned in 4ths - E-A, A-D, D-G, B-E (and the odd major third from G-B). And one also says that if you go the other way, from highest string (1) to lowest (6), it’s in 5ths: E-B, G-D, D-A, A-E (forgetting the B-G). But your really not going “down” a 5th: you’re only going down 5 half steps or a 4th…to the 5th.
      Up 7 half steps, or down 5 half steps gets you to the same note, just an octave apart, or same chord name, root note being an octave apart.
      In perfect terms, using harmonics:
      f * 3/2 { up a perfect fifth) =
      ( f / (4/3) {down a perfect fourth} ) * 2 {to bring it up an octave}
      = f * (3/4) * 2 = f * 3/2

    • @ernestebell1735
      @ernestebell1735 2 роки тому +1

      @@HuardSmith Interesting take on it. In pure music theory terms, however, in the key of C, a G is still considered the 5th (or dominant) in the scale, and similarly, a G7 is a V7 chord. Sure, you can say it's going down a perfect 4th, but that's really going the wrong way round, whether it's a keyboard, a violin, a clarinet, or a guitar. Also, this video was made using a keyboard, rather than a guitar, so I'm not quite sure why we're justifying the use of 4ths as you would, apparently, on a guitar. It's a small point, though. The concept of the video is still sound. I just question using perfect 4ths to describe getting to a V7 chord.

    • @JUNO-69
      @JUNO-69 2 роки тому +3

      Yea this sounds more convoluted to people who are new to the concept. I’m a guitarist so the easiest way it was taught to me was to play what would be the 5th note of whatever the next chord is and that’s your secondary dominant. I get it’s the identical concept but finding the 5th always feels a little easier for me especially on guitar

It includes the progression E7 to A minor. I heard it over and over again on my cassette recorder, but later that night I could not get that chord shift out of my brain and was not able to sleep.
    Now, almost 40 years later, I often use it when improvising on the piano. But I did not know until now there is a theory behind. Many thanks for this video!!!

    Super helpful! A great little bit of pepper for chord seasoning. Thanks for this video! Just a suggestion. The synthesizer Rhodes sound makes anything sound more boring/cheesy to many people… a classic more real Rhodes sound will bring the chords across in a more pure way with less aesthetic judgment. Just an opinion, but i think a lot of people feel this way. Thanks again for the great music theory! Very helpful! Subscribed.

    So basically just make a 7th chord preceding the main chords 5th. Genius. Absolutely genius. Thank you so much for breaking this down and helping us to understand "that sound". Phenomenal.

    5:26 this progression feels like something that can used as an anime ost. It's just so pleasing to the ear .

  • @blendedplanet
    @blendedplanet 2 роки тому +2

    Well obviously a 4th below IS a 5th above so if you want to take it a step further, all of these new intermediate chords simply represent inserting a ii-V-i progression into the chord you are landing on - which is the single most common thing jazz players do all the time, but in this case you are leaving out the ii. So fiddle around with adding back in the 2 chords. So instead of C E7 Am make it C - Bm7-E7-Am etc etc. The key to understanding 251 is not thinking about the chord you are ON but the chord you are GOING TO

    Kansas - Dust in the Wind is a great example using [C > _G_ > A minor] as a bridge.

    • @MangoldProject
      @MangoldProject  2 роки тому +1

      That's not what I'd call a secondary dominant. In G > C, the G would be a secondary dominant, but in C > G, the C is not a secondary dominant.
