Complete Chord Mastery course: www.musictheoryforguitar.com/...
Master of the Modes course: www.musictheoryforguitar.com/...
The lesson of today has been inspired by the music of Jacob Collier.
Whether you like Jacob's music or not (or maybe you don't even know his music, in which case I warmly recommend you check him out), we can all agree that he has interesting harmonic ideas.
Again, maybe not for everybody - but the sheer harmonic competence and inventiveness displayed in his music is staggering.
(Yes, I am fanboying a little on Jacob. Deal with it.)
Today I want to focus on one of Jacob's most used tricks: how to create crazy dominant chords. This is one of the things that I found most attractive in his music at first: how he can write chords that by themselves sound ... horrible ... and yet in context sound smooth.
At the beginning, I thought that to understand this would have required a super-high level of music theory, extreme competence in voice leading, absolute familiarity with chord substitutions...
... but it turns out that it's much, much simpler than that! In fact, as long as you know a few basic chords on the guitar, you can do it too!
In the video, you find the 'general guideline' to create new crazy dominant chords, and several examples played for you.
This lesson is guaranteed not to sound 'conventional'. Have fun!

Hi, there! Nice video. I'm a pianist as well as a huge Jacob fan and i just wanted to add something that could be confusing to people who aren't used to the thesis about crazy harmonic choices. There's a part on this video where you mention that, basically, you can add any note to a dominant chord because it will ultimately be resolved down to your home key, but I must mention that, as Jacob said, the more notes you add to a chord, the more responsibilities you have; the more voices you have to guide in a certain direction to have them make sense in the context of a harmonic motion. I think this is important: you can add as many notes as you want as long as you can guide them properly. Otherwise you just have bad narrative in terms of voice leading. The reason why Jacob's music is so magnificent and mind- boggling, is because every note is like a character on a tale (or a Bach's composition), every voice has a journey and a development that creates a reason why to have that note there in the first place. Also, there has to be a reason why to choose that sonority in the first place: it's not adding notes just for the sake of it. The emotional background for choosing a certain dissonance or interval is the key for crazy harmonic development. In other words, more notes won't make the chord better, but instead, an idea that supports and gives meaning to many voices at the same time, will make everything come alive. Anyway, I really, really liked the video. I just thought it'd be important to point out that complexity can be dangerously mistaken for randomness, and surely Jacob's shouldn't be that case. Cheers! PD: The examples are great and they all make sense when analyzed functionally. Would've love to hear your more-in-depth take on them .

I've heard him on quite a few occasions say simply "I wanted to add as many notes as possible to that chord because I thought it was cool" Yeah, he's good at creating specific moods and colors when he wants to, and having that aid the arc of his songs, but there's definitely times "I thought it sounded cool" was his justification, and let's be real, that's more than enough. We like stuff that sounds cool. His music sounds "mind-boggling" though not because every note is a character, but because of his extensive use of chromaticism and not sticking to common diatonic conventions. I do agree with your sentiment that voice leading can make pretty much any chord change "work" but I really don't think it's much deeper than that. Voice lead well and you're good! While all of that stuff can be cool, in any realistic scenario, most people won't have any practical reason to go that deep into harmony. Tuning even one of his chord stacks on instruments with average musicians would be a nightmare, much less even a single regular bar where he changes chords 4-5 times. Let's not even get into stuff like "Modulating to C half sharp." He's absolutely brilliant, but it'd be pretty hard to meaningfully implement his ideas with anyone who's... not him lol.

@@ARZiehm What a wonderful reply. I think you and I are talking about the same thing. My take on the video is: yes, go ahead and explore. Try all of those sonorities, and craft and expand your vocabulary merely for the sake of expression (as J.C said on a recent comment: "...most of music theory is nonsense..."), but what I think could be mistaken is the idea that if you just play a random cluster thump when a dominant-resolution is around (maybe your narrative needed that), chances are you could've picked at least the idea for the motion and develop it. Obviously we could theorize all day long about Jacob's music without ever getting to the real point of his expression, but the important part is the overall idea that supports and gives meaning to all of the madness that goes along with every song, and the fact that he can tell you precisely the emotion that drove him to the idea, as well as the theory and craftmanship he put into it. "I wanted to add as many notes as possible to that chord because I thought it was cool" does not deny the fact that with every note he adds (or someone adds), you're creating a responsibility (not that you should see it that seriously). I guess conclusions on this field are a very pretentious concept (by the exact same point you made: we're not him), but I'd say, based on how I take my journey onto music, there are two main stages: exploration and synthesis. You first explore freely, you add as many notes to a chord, and you sing the intervals, and you try inversions, and all of that crafting part. Then you carve little by little until you find maybe something as little as a new voicing for a II-V, or as big as a new perspective on harmony. Then, the cycle restarts. At least that's how my musical experience works. Cheers!

I agree. I've seen a lot of comments stating that an F# makes the G a major 7th, therefore it's not a dominant 7th, and that means there's no resolution. But I clearly hear that it resolves, and sounds nice. Sometimes technicalities can take away good progress. If it sounds good, it is.

One big thing I'd noticed this video is that the G7 actually is becoming GMa7 sort of because of the F#, which adds a brighter sound to the chord progression and resolution, which is precisely what Jacob talks about (in regards to brightness and darkness of chords.) Essentially, as he always says, do what sounds and feels right. It may not be a proper iimi7 V7 !Ma7 but if it sounds good, go for it! Edit: Voice leading is, in my opinion, the most important part of music! Everyone all the way back to baroque music used this.

In truth it is major7 chord because the interval is 11 hs from g to F#. A dominant 7 has a minor 7thinterval of 10 hs. A dominant function in a true historical theoretical context has to have the minor 7 interval but sound and feel or vibe in something today is much freer in cross pollinating musical ideas.

I'm a bassist (upright and bass guitar) that has long been confused on what to play over super spicy altered dominant chords especially when the root and third seemed to be the most vital notes to the resolution even if I did a Tritone sub in the bass. My professors and experienced friend who is a jazz guitar teacher basically said if you can justify it in context you can play just about anything over a dominant chord as long the bass voice leading is good which is why I can never find passing tones that I like in my walking lines over altered dominant chords. Your lesson very concisely teaches what they all said quite vaguely really, very well done. Glad I wondered on to a guitar lesson on accident!

Why G7 wants to move to C? Notes want to move by 1/2 step, which is the easiest, shortest jump. They also like to move by 4ths and 5ths, which provides for strong baselines. In the Dom7 chord, there is an interval called a tritone between the 3rd and the b7. Very unstable! When moving to the I chord, the 3rd moves up a 1/2-step (to the root) and the b7 moves down a 1/2-step (to the 3rd). And at the same time the root of the Dom7 moves either a 5th down or a 4th up to the root of the I chord. So it's 1/2-step tendacies, contrary motion and bass notes moving in 4ths or 5ths that make any Dom7 chord want to resolve to the tonic.

Thanks! And in the key of c secondary doms will always be the V7 of any available diatonic chord. Anything that interrupts a cadence and increases listener interest is good idea. So instead of C to D-, go C to A7 to D-. Use 1/2's in the bass line: C/C to G7/B to A7/A to D- to G7 to C, etc.

That F#maddb9 #IV chord 6:17 is bomb. I like the barrowing of the iii chord from D major like a phrygian pivot to dorian Em iii to Em ii . This is kind of like some of the things that Chopin would do. It implies a sort of parallel bimodality and utilizes a double relation between the ii chord and the phrygian harmony. Putting the b9 in the bass also accenuates this. Since the Dm in the progression is the ii and the Em is then the iii and therefore phrygian, pivoting it then to the ii into the key of D major and taking the iii chord from that as a dominant substitution. The dual angle relation of the ii and iii make it nice and smooth. The one at 10:45 is the same principle in parallel. Using the E Dorian #7 treating the E as the ii and using the IV Lydian #5 harmony Gaug#11.

Somehow I had to think about about a comment the guitar player of subway to sally, a german medieval/folk metal band said. He also studied lute. Asked about some fancy chord progression he often played, he answer that the analysing the chord with functional harmony gives extremely difficult progressions, but thinking about them in renaissance voice leading cadences just makes total sense and is quite easy. But as he played them on distorted electric guitar, these voice leadings seem so strange and complex. For me these voice leadings ideas seem so connected to the more complex voiceleading of in the renaissance, where people didn't think about chords but the resolving of voices combined with a more modern concept of acceptability of dissonance and jazz inspired basslines. So choosing the appropriate music theory can make the understanding and recreation of Ideas much much easier and lets you discover new sounds for your own music. Great Video!

But it's important to note here, that the voicing of the chord matters hugely. If you play these chords in closed position on a piano with no inversions, they sound really really dissonant and don't work so well... On a guitar they're much more open by default and thus you can get away with much more tension.

I would also include that you can superimpose basically anything on the bass note a half step above the chord you want to resolve to as well. Half step voice leading in the bass line has such a strong sense of gravity that it can smooth out damn near anything.

I would say have the score illustration just in the corner of the video - that way it wouldn’t scare away your primary audience of guitar players who would look at the tablature in the middle of the video, but it would be there for non-guitarists like me who can’t read tablature. Although your channel is called music theory for guitar, videos like these are applicable to composers, arrangers, and improvisers, so it might help some of your non-guitar-specific videos like this one become more accessible for the entirety of the demographic who would be interested in its material. Just my two cents worth. Keep up the great work!

Actually tensions usually sound better with the voice. An instrument like the piano is not great for tensions unfortunately.

He has music theory and perfect pitch. Easy for him to sound chords. Hard part is writing those progressions.

Amazing! A i minor chord is actually a Cm6, as Cm7 or Cm9 is generally considered too unresolved to function as a i chord because of the 7th. Thanks for this video!

I think the guitar is a more revealing (ie harsh) way to reveal the harmonic content than the layered vocal recordings, which makes everything sound awesome, as long as they are singing In tune. Quincy Jones did a LOT of this.

Spicy theory - chordal puttanesca? ;) Love your videos, and this time it was helpful NOT to go into analyzing the chords, instead just focusing on why they work. Thank you!

Using Db in the bass (tritone substitution) also works well for the same reason. You have voice leading with the chromatic descending bass. Often Db9 is used but loads of other note combinations work equally well. Try it kids!

Thanks, great and interested video, but I have a question: Wouldn't worth to analyze the dominant chord in order to know where we are if we want to improvise over this harmony?
@TataMataAkrobata
@TataMataAkrobata 4 жыл бұрын
Great video, I will play around those ideas when I improvise (also, your video about negative harmony is one of the best on yt). However, personally, I don't enjoy 7th chord as a tonic. I like the ol' consonant stable tonic. Since the 7th chords are by themselves unstable, this approach works. Does it however work so fluently when it is resolved in a clean major/minor chord? I will try it and maybe it does, but I just wanted to point it out, there were no examples of actual consonant tonics. Anyway, great video, thank you!

Great question. It works regardless of the exact make up of the I chord, as long as it is a major chord. So you can use C, Cmaj7, C6, Cadd9, Cmaj9, C6/9, etc...

The principle you disclose again shows that more variations provide more choices and creative space. Interesting that you chalked up just 19 examples, without resolving to 20! 🙂

Hi Tommaso, I really love your Videos! And i so much appreciate it :-) thanks a lot for all you give an do, i am really astonished, thankful and hopeful, that i can make it too - to whatever extend in the end, but it really makes fun now, also the theory i mean and so, well... it´s really wonderful... thanks so much for your Imput in Music and Jazz Theory! So much so much! :-) And now, for this video - because i also really admire Jacob Collier, so impressive... - i have quesiton: Where is now to connex to Jacobs Chords..? Because i like usually when i see your videos, learn somethin new about jazz theory, but today i missed the track to Jacob C. I also have i video i post below, there on level 7 of this jazz harmony thesis it´s said that Jacob uses a special Intonation, something which i heard on a Basic Music Course on an other super Video Series (but in German, by Prof. Andreas Kissenbeck, about Jazz Theory), about tuning the instrument on exactly one key. Because this will sound diffrent for any other key in nature tone systems. So well, again thank you so much and i would love to see a video in your words of this video below, bause i also like the guy who posted it of course but also i would so much here something from you about this thesis about this way of leveling the jazz history in jazz theory.. :-) verry wonderful spring greetings from lovely vienna city :-) Phil (Student at Schubert Konsveratorium Vienna) Have a wonderful day - and night! :-)
