PDF for new video on Secondary Dominant Chords
🕑 Added 2018-11-30 04:16:10 +0000 UTC This is my favorite kind of lesson to teach and my least favorite to edit. Expanding outside of the chords from Major is a challenge for any beginning musician but secondary dominants give a surefire set of chords to choose from when getting bored of just I ii iii IV V vi and maybe the occasional viiº.It's really a simple concept but it took me a while to grasp so hopefully this video will explain things well and also show you how common these kind of chords are as well as how open-ended the applications are.
This is a video I've wanted to do for a long time, there are a few more like this that I need to do before I can start making a series of analysis videos called Perfect Progressions. I want to have all the information in place that you can reference in those future videos, and I expect to have them all done before the year's end.
Good luck with your writing!

I am a novice, but I did learn that when going from an I to a IV in the major mode, if you add a 7th chord in the progression from the first ...it sounds better (eg in C major, from C to C7 to F) I think its to do with the intervals between the notes.
I think I understood the theory and the purpose of secondary dominant chords. However, I do not understand why all these chords are 7th chords. There has to be a specific reason, right?
I am still having an issue understanding Modes...Are there any charts showing the differences in the actual scales. Like a comparison between Major and Modal Scales...Help.....
