Dominant, Subdominant and Tonic are terms that we use describe how chords function in a chord progression. Knowing how these work together is a great step forward towards being able to control your chord progressions and makes learning songs much easier as well!

    Can't get much clearer than that. It's actually a little frustrating that Music Theory was so mysterious to me for so long, when all it takes is good instruction like this to make it seem simple. Much appreciated.

    Excellent lesson, Chris! When you finally understand this stuff, it's a game changer. I learned this through my journey, and the way you teach it is so clear. Never forget the fundamentals, people! It's the foundation of all music.

    I would add that move from major I chord to minor III chord is a saddest one. Even though we are in a happy major Key . When I say this at a party it is foliowed by embarrasing silence, that is why they do not invite me anymore. Cheers

    Great lesson Chris! This makes so much sense. That leading tone explanation was a "lightbulb" moment for me.

    I’ll need to watch, more like LISTEN and train my ears to this a few more times… But the potential of learning how to make conscious, informed decisions of which chords to select in relation to the chosen tonic, in order to generate the desired effect(tension/resolution), is too good to pass up. This is a deep dive, beyond simply saying “here’s a I-IV-V”, but rather “what and why” the chord progression functions as it does. Another golden lesson to file into my pea-brain 🙏

    Awesome. I’m playing around with sweep picking which really is a lot of fun. I mess around with common chord progressions like a 1 6 4 5 in C , so this should help add some color to it.
