A total Eureka moment!! Thank you! I mentioned this on your variant video, but in case you don't get the notification and because its relevant to both videos: Could you make one that works through ALL the intervals of a major and minor key and that uses interval formula to understand how each interval's chords can be thought of as 2 things for example G11 could played as F/G. There must be a relationship between certain variants of chord intervals in a key being able to be named also as another chord (so just to explain, something like in your half diminished video: that in a minor key the iv/"ii note" is the same as the vii half dim, or in a major key the 5th variants could be replaced by the viio which could also be thought of as the iii/"vii note") ..I hope this makes sense but I haven't found any videos to explain this clearly and show any formula that is always the same for the various chords in any key. I don't even know the term for what I'm describing! I also think I'm getting confused with this idea and using chords to voice lead. Perhaps one video could lead to another?? Thanks from one Tom to another!
That was great wot you just did! Thank you for the simple clarity and practical examples.

Je devrais donc être plutôt honoré qu'il recoure parfois à notre langue dans ses descriptions mais je suppose que beaucoup d'Italiens auraient souhaité que c(s)es vidéos soient présentées à juste titre dans la langue de Dante. Il y a déjà tellement de chaînes anglophones, dont beaucoup du reste confidentielles. Certes le nombre d'abonnés anglophones est plutôt éloquent.

I think the dim chord is used more like a passing chord to put between two chords one step apart for a chromatic chord transition: (Cmaj7-C#dim-Dm-D#dim-Em). Not as a standalone chord so much. The ø chord is more of a standalone chord as it is a chord in both major (viiø)and minor (iiø) scales.

Ok so i guess m7(b5) is about adding the 13th tension, meaning that the current mode in the music should have the tension in the first place. Natural modes only have two of such modes: aeolian and dorian, which produces Am and Dm in the key of A minor. These can be used to produce interesting taste, and smooth out the bass line.

I think this chord is more common with piano players than guitar. When I first started writing music, I was on piano and knew nothing about chord progressions or even what chords were proper. I just hit the keys that sounded right to my ears and I had a nasty habit of staying on the white keys. Trying to relearn some of those old songs now on guitar and I'm seeing the Bdim chord quite a bit.

Well explained. A hint for would-be guitar chord soloists and ambitious rhythm players: Someone with deep understanding (skilled ears) can slide a 4 note form of this chord (on 4 middle strings) up and down as substitutes for nearly ANY chord. For instance, It's also a minor 6th (A-C-Eb-G, an A half diminished, is also C-Eb-G-A, a minor 6h). Fun to mess with.

You then write out an E7 chord, which clearly is not a chord in the scale of Cmajor as it has a Gsharp note. Think you need to explain this. And which minor scale you're referring to, and maybe why Amin7 would be the incorrect 4 note chord for Aminor in this scale. Cheers.

Very nice. Thanks for this.

Another use for the diminished that I like is using it as a chromatic approach chord. Basically, you take the chord you want to get to, and you play a dimished chord either one half step above or below that chord. Ie, instead of playing A Bm, you could try A Bb dim Bm, or A Cdim Bm.

The half diminished chord is the two chord of a 2-5-1 in the minor. It is seldom used diatonically in the major. It was used most often up to the fifties in the American popular songs and was abandoned mostly in modern pop music and Rock. In the American Songbook a repertoire now referred to as Jazz standards you'll see the minor 2-5-1 sequence everywhere

If you are going to use Triadic chords, don't all of a sudden at B half diminished. chord. What you should have said was B diminished chord which is B,D,F. Again, if you are working with triads don't confuse people. Triads in the Key of C are, C,Dm,Em, F, G, Am, B diminished. If you deal with 7th chords then , and only then is it C Maj7, Dm7,Em7, F Maj7, G7, Am7, B half diminished 7

I would like a tutorial on arpeggios and how to get them to fit with a melody. I am not talking about metal arpeggios but acoustic open chord guitar arpeggios such as what Izzy Stradlin plays in "Don't Cry" by Guns N Roses and especially his fast arpeggio in "Think about You" Piano players will often leave out the third note in arpeggios. For example they might play Root Fifth Octave of a chord instead of Root Third Fifth. Also how do you get your arpeggio to fit rhythmically with your melody especially on faster arpeggios. For me simply playing Root Third Fifth and down again in a chord arpeggio isn't working. I need to know more about Note choice and the rhythms used to fit the arpeggio in the song. Hope this makes sense.

Another cool use of m7b5 is changing the ii chord (or the relative iv if you're in minor) to a m7b5 instead of just a regular m7. So in C, you can change Dm7 to Dm7b5. It gives it kind of a minor plagal feel. What's more, is you can even expand it by treating the root note as a major third and therefore create a "dominant" so to speak. So your Dm7b5 becomes Bb9. Here's a turnaround I created based on this idea Original cadence: Dm9 - Dm9 - G9 - G9 - Cmaj9 Turnaround: Dm9 - Bb9 - G7b9 - Db7b9 - Cmaj9 It's a very colorful turnaround using very little movement leaving the bass to put it all in context.
