I've been playing for over 30 years, I'm about to graduate, at 45, after 4 years hard study at university. I understand the theory 110%, 'cos I'm a theory geek!, but after much 'ear' struggling ( I can't hear the tones when I play them but when someone else does I'm ON it ). This video and explanation has just made 4 years worth of jazz jigsaw pieces fall right into place. Many many thanks from Manchester, U.K. PLEASE KEEP UP THE STERLING WORK!!!

Thank you so much for your fantastic video series. You're a very knowledgeable musician with a very eloquent way of teaching. You had my sub from the start. I was starting in the Royal Conservatory classical program to learn to play the piano as a child & I stayed in the program for about 5 years. I love classical music, but longed to play write popular music & although I could play the basic chords, I needed instruction as to elaborate these basic chords, ---and longed for information on Roman numerical composition relationships between each of the seven diatonic chords in a key. Your generosity is awesome, & in a sea of sometimes lack lustre tutorials- you're a rockstar !!!

This is my favorite chord. There is a Stan Kenton Arrangement called Bon Homme Richard which makes extensive use of it. In fact, the piano has a solo at the beginning playing this chord in one of the ways you demonstrated. If you put Bon Homme Richard into the KZitem search box and look for Stan Kenton live at Redlands University, you’ll find it. Ken Hanna wrote the arrangement. I studied big band arranging with Ken at San Diego State in 1980.

I've stumbled on this chord before, in my experimentations. Amused myself by thinking of it as a 'quarter diminished' (circle with two lines through it) but by itself is so stark sounding, I really didn't know what to do with it. Soap opera music? So I greatly appreciate your voicing insights into how to use it in combinations. Creates a very pretty sound reminiscent of Johnny Costa (Mr. Rogers Neighborhood).

This is too important analysis to be shared. I know one beautiful voicing right hand for II V I with bass is root. Let say Dm9 as F A C E; then G7(b9, 13) as F Ab B E and resolve to Cmaj9 as E G B D. Actually, the dominant chord here can be viewed as the flattened 7th diminished maj7. Your approach in theory is not new to me, but in practical viewpoint then too much amazing. I have to say I learned from my teacher that a maj7 ending can be altered by dim chord, but really not as insight like your lecture. Thanks so much.

Dear Mangold you are the man for go to internet chord explanations! After trying to absorb V and V7 and G7 and dominant 7 and flattened 7th and now diminished majors...I am starting to get the hang of this. Now I need a little help with D major and which progression to use for a pretty ending of the Beatles " In my life"..I figured Amaj -G7dim-to IV(GBD)..ending on the tonic. It just does not sound as polished as yours? A little help from my friends?

Nice video, very clarifying! Keep up the good work! Now, I get the explanation as to why the chord works as a substitution for dominant chords. What I don’t get (and I don’t think you gave an explanation) is just why it works as a pre-voicing of the tonic (CdimMaj7-Cmaj7) like in your first examples. That’s the one I’d like to see discussed, as it doesn’t make sense to me. My best explanation would be that it works as a voice leading thing, where the b3 and b5 leads upwards to 3 and 5... any thoughts?

I think it acts as a chromatic movement. CdimMaj7 is a bit like a B major triad, which is one semitone below C.

Sounds about right. On the 4th you're actually playing the higher tensions of a dominant 7th chord. For example, in C major: Fdimmaj7 = F Ab B E G13b9 = G B D F Ab C E --(Omit root, 11th, fifth)--> B F Ab E = Fdimmaj7

couldn't you also use the b9 as a place to build it from? I know you would no longer have the tritone with the 3rd and 7th of the dominant chord if you built it off of the 9th but when i play it thinking like that I can resolve it down a minor 6th and it sounds good. Like for instance I think resolving the Cdim(Maj7) to Emin sounds pretty smooth
