Dear music matters, I am one of the people who really enjoy these kind of videos, but I have a little request to make if it’s possible. I am visually impaired. So if you can play the melody instead of showing it on the board as well, this would be very helpful to me to understand what you are talking about. Thank you for your effort

if you listen or learn stairway to heaven... The lowest notes of each chord are descending chromatically A min...G# aug, C Maj ( G 5th) ...D Maj/F#...FMaj7..G Maj. A min That's becuase the vi and vii chord of A melodic min are dim. F Maj F#dim G Maj G# dim A min The Outro solo...Basically the samething ( just in a different PITCH/key B min/D Major...( it's just the arpeggios are being played backwards.) B min...A# dim A Maj G# dim G Maj F# #2, #5 or F# b3, b6 E min F Maj it's just on the SECOND HALF of the scale. You can trying insert a dim chord tween D doiran D# dim E phryigan C Maj C# dim D min A min A#dim into B minor....C Maj...D # dim Dmin it'll be sort of the same thing D min...D#dim E min F maj F# dim G Maj... In other words...the note degree that's NOT in the MAJOR scale. b2, b3, b5, b6, b7.....insert them as diminished. Or Later on you could sub the N6 with a minor chord... example....A Harmonic min b2 ( Bb Lydian #6) Bb Maj.... Bb lydian #2, #6.....in a nutshell....use that as a pivot minor chord. Bb min....Eb min F Min ( simple 1, 4, 5 in minor) The F min..is lydian b3 or iv of C Harmonic MAJOR or F lydian #2 of A Harmonic min) Bb min....Eb min F min G7 into C MAJOR different cadence.... or Bb min as phryian chord.... Bb min Eb MINOR...Ab min G7 into C Maj. or Bb min as dorian ish...........Bb min Eb7 Ab MAJ G7 into C MAJOR or Bb min as dorian b2 Bb min Eb7 Ab min G7 into C MAJOR or Bb min C min F min/AbMaj G7 into C MAJOR or sub the Bb with Maj..as different 1 or 4 or 5 chord ( keep it simple) Bb Maj Eb maj F Maj G7 into C MAJOR...ect Bb Maj Eb MAJ Ab Maj G7 into C MAJOR Bb Maj C Maj F Maj G7 into C MAJOR

I like how you use the British way of describing the harmonic inversions instead of the inferior American and European figured bass!!! You can actually employ numerous pivot chords in tritone modulations, so for example the flat supertonic of C major/a minor becomes chord Vb in G flat/F sharp major/e flat/d sharp minor and the tritone substitution in dominant sevenths between the keys! Another example is employing five-part dominant minor ninths so for instance in a minor the ascending notes E, D, F, G sharp, B is transformed to e flat minor with B flat, D, F, A fat, C flat with only the bass note moving . Or a dominant major ninth in C major, (G, B, D, F, A) to a dominant minor thirteenth in f sharp minor, (C sharp, B, D, E sharp, A), (which can also be done via a dominant minor eleventh in a minor, (E, B, D, F, A))!

Excellent - worth watching more than once I think. Is it always important to use the "correct" notation - with - for example A sharp written rather than B flat? In other words I guess always trying to write notes with an assumed key - there are several examples in this video. People who write by trying out ideas at a keyboard may use enharmonically equivalent notation - perhaps because they don't quite know what they are doing - or are not working within reference keys. Thank you - this is brilliant!

Thanks for your endorsement. It’s good that you reinforce the point about enharmonics.

Excellent presentation of how to travel between two distant and seemingly unrelated keys. But there was a missed opportunity for one more wonderful suspension: from the last Ab in the Alto / measure 5, to a 4-3 (Ab-G) suspension in measure 6. Ahhhh! That would have been a very satisfying conclusion to a rich harmonic progression!

I love your videos I dont want to sound presicous but of you could maybe use some relevant (aka) modern piece of music to find relevance (I understand the copyright bs) but for newbies "like me" would make all the difference.

@MusicMattersGB

Fair comment. We are always conscious of copyright issues plus we have followers from so many different musical traditions which makes it tricky to find examples relevant to everyone but we’ve got some videos out there based on real pieces of music.

Thanks. That's the best video of your's that I've seen. Very interesting. Coming from a jazz background I think of things a little differently yet I'd have come to some of the same conclusions. In particular the Bb7b9 that you mentioned but didn't use (nearly - you just omitted out the root) and your augmented 6th chord which I think about completely differently. I'd call it a B7 and justify it as a b5 substitute of an F7 - secondary dominant of the Bb chord Both B7 and F7 contain the same, though enharmonically different, tritone - therefore can be interchanged.

Your way of explaining is really admirable! Congratulations for the good work. But i have a objection for the dim7 chord on the end of 2d bar. Tenor sings F-->Eb and Soprano sings Cb-->Bb (2d to 3d bar). As far as i know it is considered parallel 5ths for the shake of conventional harmony. So it is considered a mistake (i know that perfect 5th going to diminished fifth is allowed, but diminished fifth going to perfect fifth is still considered parallel fifths).

Very good. Thanks. An analysis of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde would be a baptism of fire! Any chance?

Thanks for the suggestion, we've started adding a pdf to some of our latest videos with the sheet music available to download but will also look into that option too.

You made that look easy. That was not easy.
