    Wow, these lessons are making me feel smart and dumb at the same time. Have been play ing guitar for over 20 years. Sam Jam explains in a few minutes why a whole bunch of things actually work e.g. the ole C Cmaj7 C7 to F. Its the dominant 7th. Jeez it all makes so much sense. And another thing…pentatonic major fits the major chords and pentatonic minor maps to the minor chords-so frikkin obvious once you see it! - um, not these two scales that exist for their own sake. Thank you Samjam for turning the lights on for me.

    Test is on. I'm commenting before watching the video. I've been homeschooling myself on music theory and have made lots of good progress.
    And at this point, I have no idea what a secondary dominant is.
    If, after this video, I have learned what secondary dominant are and some how and why of using them, I will reply here to proclaim you a good music educator.
    Wish us luck.

    • @1oolabob
      @1oolabob 11 місяців тому +1

      This is good, clear information. What really clinches it for me is the series of musical examples you use. I can hear the relations between the sets of tensions and resolutions, and also the two-step climb up the G major scale.
      You're a good music educator.
      I will of course need to go over it several times with my instruments: keyboard and guitar, but within a few days I expect to have a good grasp of the concept.
      Subscribing now. Thank you for great content!

    I recently came across this : VII/V. Isn't that built on a 7th chord?

    • @Samjamguitar
      @Samjamguitar  6 місяців тому

      Lots of ways to describe this! too much for a youtube comment! its essentially telling you to play the 7 of the 5 chord...NOT the 5 of the 7 chord. If you actually break the notes down from the diminished chord you would find that it contains the same notes as the V/V (5 of the 5 chord) with one extra interval but with a b9 interval! so essentially you could view this as a 7b9 chord resolving to a 5 chord.... so basically V/V with a bit of extra tension from the b9 interval👌

      @@Samjamguitar Oh my goodness. Thank you so much, I honestly wasn't expecting a reply from the teacher.
      I found that chord in a piece for classical guitar by Carullli in La Mineur. The chord is written as Re# for bass, La for tenor, Do for soprano. Your explanation makes sense. Re# is the VII of V in this case.
      Thank you, I'm going to go read up on 7B9 chords. Perhaps I'll finally figure out the reason for the soprano being in DO.

  • @oneeyemonster3262
    @oneeyemonster3262 2 роки тому

    it's easier if I explain it in C MAJOR/Amin ( keys are just pitch)
    A min D min E min = Natural min
    A min D min/dim E7 = Harmonic min
    A min D7 D7 = melodic min
    A Maj D min/dim E7 = Harmonic MAJOR
    A min B7 into E Maj = Lyd dim ( E Harmonic MAJOR)
    If you practice the CYCLE of dominant
    B7 into E7 into A7 into D7 into G7 into C7 into F7 into Bb7 into Eb7 into Db7 into Gb7
    3 into 4 ( second arpeggio of a dominant chord B dim/G)
    B dim into C
    sort of like AUGMENTED chords...( ALL maj 3rd intervals)
    2, 4, b6, 7 CHORD degree are all possible FULL dim
    The easist way is to just MEMORIZE it. ( it's EASY)
    D, F, Ab, B
    B, D, F, Ab/G#
    They overlap in different keys
    C Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min
    A Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min
    Eb Harmonic MAJOR or Harmonic min..............(C Harmonic min)
    Gb Harmonic MAJOR or F# harmonic min........ ( A Harmonic MAJOR)
    Anyways...you can simply stack a maj3 BELOW any dim chord to obtain a DOMINANT
    B dim/G.......D dim/Bb........F dim/Db........Ab dim/E
    G7...............Bb7.................Db7................E7
    The Bb and Db are the most COMMON N6 chords
    You can also stack MAJ, min, DOMINANT or dim EVERY b3 interval
    if you use FULL dim H/W
    once you get used to the cycle of dominant
    you'll simply just do this
    A min Bb7 into Eb Maj7 or Eb min E7 into A min
    The E7 acts like the N6 of Eb Maj or min.
    it's the same if you.
    A min Db7 into Gb min G7 into C MAJOR
    A min C#7 into F# min G7 into C MAJOR
    A min C#7 into F# min B min E7 into A min
    it dosnt have to be Dominant . it could be ANY chord with a maj3
    such as C Maj7 into F min G7 C Maj ( C Harmonic MAJOR, Ion b6)
    SHORT CUT....b2.......b3.......b5........b6......b7
    ARE ALL POSSIBLE N6 chords
    .....................Db.......Eb.......Gb.......Ab.......Bb
    so you could A min Db maj7 Gb min G7 into C MAJOR
    or you could pretend to play into Eb Harmonic MAJOR
    A min Bb7 into Eb Maj7 Ab min G7 into C MAJOR
    or pretend to play into C# min ( the D chord is the N6 of C#)
    A min G#7 into C# min D dim E7 into A min
    A min G#7 into C# min D Maj7 B min E7 into A min
    or pretend to play into F minor....melodic or harmonic..ect
    A min Bb7 C7 F min Db maj7 G7 into C MAJOR
    A min C Maj7 F min Bb dim Db dim G7 into C MAJOR
    A min Bb dim C dim C# min D7 E7 into A min
    You can alter any chord degree into Dominant.
    ANYTHING that's NOT primary are SECONDARY....keep it SIMPLE like that.

      As an introduction to secondary dominants I doubt your explanation would help anyone new to the concept.
