Hey, you're one to talk about being brilliant. You said "didactically". Now I've got to go look that up! lol

In case anyone cares: the progression at 4:12 sounds identical to a progression known in classical music as a German augmented sixth. However, it's written slightly differently (in this case, with an F# instead of a Gb), and is more common in minor keys. In classical music, it always resolves to the dominant chord, as here.

@maiareymacia7650

Wouldn't the German 6th in C have a C natural though, instead of the Cb in the Ab minor chord above?

Also the 5 and b9 of a dominant chord form a tritone. This tritone and the tritone formed by the 3 and 7 together form a diminished 7th chord, which can be used to make 4 different 7b9 chords by simply adding different bass notes. You can the substitute these out for each other for even more interesting variations. For example, if we have the progression Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7. Adding a flat ninth to the G7 gives us G7b9, with the notes G B D F Ab. If we take out the root note, we are left with B D F Ab, which is a diminished seventh chord. Now we can use this same diminished 7 chord with either Bb, E, Db, or G as a bass note and we will get 4 different 7b9 chords that share 2 separate tritones, meaning that any of these chords can resolve to any chord that any of the individual 7b9 chords can resolve to. In our example of Dm7 - G7 - Cmaj7, we can substitute G7 for either E7b9, Db7b9, or Bb7b9 and the chord will still resolve. Let's use Bb7b9. We can do Dm7 - Bb7b9 - Cmaj7. And then from there you can use the Bb's ii chord: Fm7 - Bb7b9 - Cmaj7. Or you can substitute a chord from another mode, for example: Dm7(b5) - Bb7b9 - Cmaj7. Etc etc. I found this out on my own and I think it's really cool.

Why those bass notes, i mean, when you have G B D F Ab and You take out the G and add Bb E or Db, what is the relationship of G and those other bass notes? I can't understand that part because i'm mexican, i speak spanish and the translator doesn't work good for theese comments, also i don't have too knowledge on music theory, anyway, thank you very much 🙏.

@@santiagobautista245 Think of a dominant 7 flat 9 chord. B7 flat 9, for example. Look at it as 2 seperate components, the root (B) + diminished 7th chord (C, D#/Eb, F#, A) a semi tone above the root. So if you wanted to change a chord progression up with a substitution, you could replace that B root note with D or F or Ab/G# beneath that diminished 7th chord (C, D#, F#, or A). The relation of the root note is just one semitone beneath one of those notes. So in theory, you could start with a good, but basic sounding F#m7b5, B7b9, Em7 And change it to F#m7b5, D7b9 or F7b9 or G#7b9, Em7 I hope that explained it well enough!

Most don’t explain what a “tritone” is. Three “tones” or six “semitones” if you know the European system. I didn’t so I didn’t grasp the concept of “tritone” until much later. We call “semitones” and “tones” “half steps” and “whole steps” in the US but we still use “tritone” and no one had explained that for me clearly in 20 years of music making. For some of us it’s important to know the origins and reasons for names and the things they’re named for, I hope this helps anyone that thinks like me.

Wow! I can hear clearly now my brain has gone. Turning the II-V into a semitone descent just explained my life. Genius.

This was edited so well! Love the way you kept the beat going

Been waiting for a video forever. Guess I'll wait longer for a Native Construct album.

Composing music is so much more than just getting the right chords. Like I listen to some favorite music that incorporates 2-5-1 but doesn’t sound lame as just playing them as in the examples.

keeping consistent rhythm between the examples while you explain is really creative and cool. makes it much more pleasant to follow

more of this please!

Concise and to the point. Thank you

One cool thing I saw in JazzDuets' Channel is that if you have dom.7 chords on a circle of fourths (C7 F7 Bb7 Eb7...) you have an underlying descending chromatic movement. Great work, keep it up.

@ruairilogan153

Wouldn't be dominant 7th chords though would it? Since you have a chromatic movement the tonic isn't clear so there is no dominant 7th chords cause there is no stable tonic.

@@ruairilogan153What makes a chord a “Dominant 7th chord” has nothing to do with any other chord in the progression; it is simply the intervals in the chord of root-3-5-b7. So C-E-G-Bb is a Dominant 7th chord (even in a 3-chord Blues that just has 3 Dominant 7th chords).

Thank you so much, you just cleared up 1/2 a semester of college theory in 5minutes for me.

Best explanation of why it’s called a tritone substitution I’ve seen yet. Great job.

Literally been trying to figure this out for years. The key is the similar notes between the dom7 and the substitute dom7 and the fact the similar notes want to resolve to the 1 chord. Just a different flavour. THANK YOU.

Please keep these lessons coming.

So amazing idea to keep the rhythm going on the whole time. I am amazed. Great. :D

MORE Music with Myles !!!

3:23 the cardigans - carnival the more you study music theory, the more you appreciate the music you already liked, but never knew exactly why it sounded so great

Another great clear lesson. I have actually never thought of using the Abminor7 for a tritone sub for the Dm7. Neat.

The Mighty Tritone! Try playing a 3-chord Blues that uses 3 Dominant 7 chords; the 3 tritones in those chords will be located right next to each other ALL OVER THE FRETBOARD. (That’s because one of those 3 tritones will be the inversion of the other two tritones; so the I-IV-V chords’ tritones will be located right next to each other.) They can be used as an easyway to find the most “inside” notes in that Blues song. They will form 2 or 3 diagonal lines right across the fretboard. Investigate and experiment with this!

WOW! Very well explained! Thanx!

Very nice! Substitution and chromatic changes offer so much freedom! It's very usefull to analyse these things. For me it's helpfull to understand things I already do but without realizing the theory behind. The combination of theory and practice is opening next doors. Pure joy and of course a lot of work to do.
