This is some really good stuff. Thanks for posting. I've recently been experimenting with this chord as well, mainly resolving the #5 down to a natural 5 before hitting the 7th. This video gives me a bunch of new ideas and I'm looking forward to exploring them. Please post more!

@JohnZazoMusic The ,,Tristan-chord" is related to the half-diminished; F - B - Eb - Ab, with the Ab as an appoggiatura leaning on A. (Though F - B - Eb - A is usually considered a French 6th in A min.)

I usually hear it as a rootless (for example) G13b9 going to C maj.

@florencelingaynemusic 17 күн бұрын

I see the chord as two augmented chords at once. You have the root, 3rd, and #5 as the first augmented chord and the 3rd, #5, and Maj7 as the second. So, if we’re in C,it’s kinda like C major and E major superimposed together. Good vid👍 Edit: oops just got to that part of the video hahaha

@TruthSurge 19 күн бұрын

Long-winded opinion incoming....I disagree that the dim 7 sounds as if it leads somewhere but augmented doesn't. They both are used as "leading" chords or transitional chords or connecting chords. A dim 7 can resolve to any of 4 dom 7ths by just lowering any of the 4 notes. Same for augmented. Just alter one of the notes down by a half step and you get a major chord that naturally is related (closely related) because 2 of it's notes are the same. It's your opinion and you have every right to it but I can hear chords that naturally derive from other chords. A dom 7 can seem solid and stable (listen to the verse of Taxman by the Beatles) or it can lead to a 4th above as in E7 to A major. Both dim 7 and augmented chords are symmetrical so they both sound unresolved compared to the normal maj or min construct so to me, neither floats. Both chords I personally feel that they are by nature transitional. I expect them to resolve to a new chord of some sort. Augmented (to my ears) wants to resolve to a half step up (pick any of the 3 and move up a half step and play that maj chord next). etc.

@@JohnZazoMusic thx and yeah, it's hard to try and be objective about music in some areas because... well, all we have are the historical uses of these things and the math of how they vibrate together. So... I think in general we would agree on most things. Like I feel that a pure augmented chord is tense, suspenseful, unresolved, not necessarily scary but kind of leans that way by like 2%. heheh But then probably some of this is from memories of hearing soundtracks and how these were used then. You know, the old dim 7 tremolo chord when a train is about to run over the damsel tied to the tracks? That kind of stuff. We all have different histories and memories so.... it's a little bit subjective in some areas, I think. Thanks for the vids. I don't watch many of these because I just get depressed. There's just no reason for me to watch. I just don't need to know this because I'm not even going to use it if I DID write a soundtrack for something. But you know... 50 years of doing music... once every year or two I click on a "how to" vid about music or mixing or what not. Keep rockin!!!!

@TruthSurge Well thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate your insight. If I understand you correctly, I certainly agree- YT can be overwhelming and sometimes bring the spirits down. There’s just so much content and people competing for ones attention and especially as musicians it can distract us from why we got involved with music in the first place. At some point you have to stick with an approach that keeps music fun and exciting for oneself-rather than being flooded with idea after idea about how to think about or create music. Music school kinda had that effect on me-just constantly being bombarded by countless ways to think about music…to the point where I became emotionally exhausted by it.

@TruthSurge 18 күн бұрын

@@JohnZazoMusic I think as you said the main thing we all were drawn to music was the amazing sounds and once we learned to play an instrument, we are just having some fun at that point replicating some of those sounds/songs. Later, we learn to dissect them and understand the whys. But for those who want to know more and get super technical, there's always jazz. hehehehhe okay... take care!!!!

The opening bit here has a Charles Tomlinson Griffes vibe - even more than Debussy, I’d venture. This sonority was en vogue in the 1970s in postbop and ECM-style Jazz, Richie Beirach used it often, it’s all over the Bill Connors lp with Jan Garbarek “Of Mist and Melting” It’s not particularly easy to handle from a voice-leading perspective, but I luck into it once in a while

In the rhythmically sparse, short sounds make articulation create mixed sounds that displace abnormally stable sounds that have a raised tone in the bass that evoke a feeling of lydian augmented with mystical delicate delight...FZ's direction for covering 'Stairway to Heaven', 'Nanook Rubs It' and other cadentially moded excerpts for 'Outside Now' and the one really freaky 4 bar section of 'Brown Shoes Don't Make It'. The single facet I'd always wondered about, though I was lost in the haze of a blissful covering of chocolate syrup. Damn all Politicians that hide themselves away while stirring the pot of syrup. It's why I'm so dang impressed, obviously.

@sagandalya108 19 күн бұрын

Natural 5:4 thirds stacked from C upwards, the fourth tone is somewhere between B and C and when quantized down to B the result will be Cmaj7#5. An inverted version would yield a Dbmmaj7. A stack of 6:5 intervals quantized results in an Em7b5 and its inversion F#7 and so on.
