Understanding what a secondary dominant is and being able to recognize or find them for chords is a powerful tool you can use in your playing and compositions. This video will show you how to use them, understand them and improvise over them
And actually, it is pretty simple if you know your basic scales.

My man, you just connected so many pieces of music theory in my mind with this video. Once upon a time back in high school, I used to be first chair cello, but I never did understand music theory. I was really good at sight reading, learning new music, and being able to play it very well, but I didn’t understand any of it and the music theory portion of my education went way over my head. I’ve decided to pick music back up and learn to play a few other instruments and this time I have decided to dedicate myself to learning and understanding music theory because I also want to write music. I’ve been learning all the theory stuff now, but it’s all been this kind of disjointed and disconnected bits and pieces of information that I know theoretically, but still didn’t really understand. For whatever reason, this video just connected so many different pieces of all of that for me. This video explains what a 251 is to me, in a way that’s more meaningful than just saying that’s how you change keys. This video gives me an understandable explanation of how chords direct you to go somewhere and how you can choose what chords to use based on where you want to go. I don’t even play guitar, I’m learning bass and piano, but I love watching your videos for the way that you explain music theory. Thank you so much.

@tapstring2 2 года назад

Still learning basic theory, but when you are building a dominant chord from the Ami scale, the vi chord of C major, it spells EGBD, which is a minor chord. I went through several books and videos and no one says that raising the third to major is an accepted practice. Finally found an online piano theory website which discusses and clarifies this. Am I the only one who was confounded by this? But I do love your very clear and energetic lessons Jens.

Thanks! I don't think they always are great starting points. There are also other things that makes Autumn Leaves easy as a chord melody arrangement. There are other songs that you can do this with like Stella by Startlight or Speak Low, but I don't really see them as easy chord melody arrangements.

@benkatof4240 3 года назад

Very nice Jens! Couple of questions. So, a subdominant is a relative five of any diatonic chord (apart from the tonic) in a particular key? Also, in a major/minor cadence, the five of a five is the two, so you could use that subdom chord in place of or together with the two chord (m7, m7b5)? Lastly, the examples you give of using a subdom to pull toward its resolving chord - would the use of a G7 to return to the CM7 in Autumn Leaves in Gm be an example of this?

Would the dominant 2 chord in a major key usually be considered non-resolving? And therefore more tonic sounding scales and arpeggios like melodic minor and it’s modes? I usually struggle with this type of chord. Tritone sub, major 2 dominant7 , and the chromatic dominant chords you see sometimes

If you're sitting around a poker table, and can't tell who the secondary dominant is, it's you.

New York State of Mind uses secondary dominants.

"Db 7 doesn't resolve to Gb major it resolves to e-flat", but my ears don't tell me that though Gb is not part of the harmony here.' My ears are telling me that it does indeed resolve to Gb major. Am I missing something?

@JensLarsen 9 месяцев назад

There are 1000s of songs that do this, you just never noticed. I suspect you are listening mostly with your eyes in this case.

@@JensLarsen Wait! If I play the Db7 moving to GbM7 it is a much more satifying resolution than moving to Eb. Isn't it? Am I wrong?

@JensLarsen 9 месяцев назад

@@EyesFoward not necessarily if you are in the key of En major. Don't try to take stuff to far out of context, that is not how music works. Not everything is a V-I resolution otherwise music would be incredibly boring.

@@JensLarsen Well that would depend on what you do with it after in my opinion but I understand what you are saying in the context of the key and in mind of the composer

Oh ok wait..so are you telling me we can just secondary dominant ourselves so far backwards in time that we land in unequal temperament? Cuz this is the first time a lesson makes sense fully and I need it to make less sense, it’s uncomfortable.
