In this basic music theory lesson, learn why the V (5) chord REALLY wants to go to I (1).
The V chord is made up of notes that all have an agenda. They all want to go somewhere. So when you play them together, the entire chord really wants to move. When each of these notes resolves, we wind up, with no surprise, on our I chord- HOME.
This is truly the foundation of western harmony, and too often we learn it with a bunch of symbols on a page and sentences that sound like this: "the fourth degree of the major scale, when acting as the minor seventh in a dominant seventh chord built from the fifth degree of the major scale, has a tendency to resolve downward by half step to the third degree of the major scale."
YIKES. I mean, how does it SOUND? This is all that really matters. This video sets out to show you exactly how that completely ridiculous and confusing sentences SOUNDS. FA really wants to go to MI. Let's listen.
