Really wish these had continued... most approachable music theory I've found

[@MrDavidBHarris]

AS a harmony professor at Berklee, I bow to the excellence of these videos. Not just great information given clearly, but awesome music examples as well. I have all my students watch these videos.

[@MusicWithMyles]

Thank you, professor! You can probably tell I was a Berklee kid myself 😁

[@dionxu]

Hope you can consider to restart producing music content in 2024, Myles.

[@vitormelomedeiros]

Is this going to be semi-regular?? I'm absolutely loving it. We've truly been blessed.

[@MusicWithMyles]

Glad to hear it! Yeah, 2 new videos each month from now on!

[@vitormelomedeiros]

That's great! Will post my exercise here in the next few days, by the way. Excited to watch more!

[@JorgeRamirez-dd5ws]

That's way too long :/ but these are quality videos and I'm sure you're busy teaching people one-on-one anyway...Great Stuff! You made me a fan because of your modal interchange video and had been wanting more since

[@joaop.1238]

Man this is the best music teaching ever seen! Really inspiring! That modal interchange video is a masterpiece! Thanks for the videos!

These videos are so well made and informative, I love them. I made this with it :D D7 - G - G#dim7 - A7 - Adim7 - A7 - A#dim 7 - A7 - G#dim7 - G6 or em7 - D7

[@MusicWithMyles]

very cool to use the dim7 chords as part of a dominant chain!

[@MEZ4RCI]

Too much tensiiiion!! I liked it :D all we need is sone crazy melody on top of it.

[@squidcaps4308]

Change the last D7 to simplest possible G major and you arrive at the station.

[@tonylancer7367]

After your "Modal Interchange" video, I knew you were the one. I dunno how you do it, but these videos are so interesting and fun to watch honestly. LOVE THESE!!!!

[@ben_burnes]

Love these, perfect mix of theory explanation and actual contextual examples without getting bogged down by trying to sound too smart.

Am - Am/G - Faug7 - Edim7 - Eb - Bb7 - Bdim7 - E7 - Fmaj7#11 - F#dim7 - Bb/F - E7 - ( Am ) I love your video and they really help me as a music student - cheers from Israel!

[@QuincyKane]

Here’s what I came up with: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIGZY2uQjrh4iq8 The main riff (which uses an ascending dim. 7) has a bittersweet emotional tonality that I really like. It was challenging to retain that tone while using descending and auxiliary dim. 7s because they often came out sounding “too happy”, but I’m pleased with it for the most part.

[@unflexian]

Hands down best short form music theory channel on the site, Incredible!

[@vzm4663]

Resolving to a major tonic from a diminished chord is so satisfying 😂

[@Phownk]

This is an absolutely revolutionary approach to teaching music theory. Playing examples in real time with a visual and audible explanation is extremely helpful. More, Myles, MORE!!! Cheers!

[@uniqhnd23]

The first video I saw of you I knew I had to instantly subscribe. And even though I don't at all know how these work haha, I still watch these videos cause you explain them in a fun way.

EDIT (May 2023): I've closed the Patreon page. I'm now working with a new model that is better aligned with my personal values and hopefully will help enable me to spend more of my time making useful stuff for everyone: Everything I make from now on will be freely offered. No more paywalled content. I'm trying to make this work with nothing but a tip jar and a dream: Ko-fi.com/MusicWithMyles If you find my content valuable, please consider donating. Even just a dollar is super helpful if a lot of people are pitching in. Also, feel free to ask me any music question along with your donation and I'll be sure to reply! And if you're broke, just sharing my stuff around helps a ton too :D And thank you so much for watching, everyone 💙🙏 -Myles P.S.

[@romanmenarguezblanc9571]

I just want you to know, in case that you're still there, that your instructional videos are pure GOLD. Only a few, but every second of them save you hours diggin onto KZbin junk. So much quality...thank you man, i'm very grateful

[@ziyanshaan5705]

As someone who loves music theory but also has a short attention span, your videos really help me retain what I learn. The commentary style and text animations make it fun and easy to watch. Can't wait for more

[@alexthegrand6713]

DUDE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL At 2:24 the little “beeps” you hear listing each prompt are actually a diminished chord, just arpeggiated!!

[@joemcalister7105]

I really like the little writing prompt bit at the end

[@henrineblina9119]

God, these videos are so well made. The aesthetic is the best.

[@shantisnijder3598]

make more videos man goddamn. Best musical education videos i came across, and now i find out you only made a few vids. Would really love to see more of your stuff

[@bluebetta39]

Music with passing diminished 7th has been and will be always my cup of tea.

[@iloos7457]

hahah I love the fulidity of your video. Everything FITS. It adds so much to the 'power' of your video. The constant drum, and sound effects. oh oh oh perfect. Thanks for the clean explination.

[@yahyaayyash3851]

Your video is really informative and I believe you put a lot of time to create one, thanks for the video Myles

[@keanugr1250]

May God Bless You Miles

[@VectressWasHere]

i usually used them just resolving up because thats how it made sense to me but knowing other ways is pretty nice, thanks!

[@salromerosiii2583]

Thank you for these videos! Another concept I read on the internet is as that each chord tone of a fully diminished can resolve up a half step to the next note. So rather than a diminished resolving to one chord, it could lead to 4. BDFAb for example could lead up to a: C, Eb, F#, or A (and minor or major).

[@elmidiachi7875]

Yes! It’s nice to see this answer on here, you are absolutely right. The reason for this is that a diminished chord is also a dominant7b9 chord without a rootnote. So in your example it can act like a Bb7b9, Db7b9 etc. The most common chord change is V-I, like Bb7b9 - Eb. A whole new meaning and use of dim chords opened up once I realized this

[@simongross3122]

Great explanation, thank you

[@niu_arx]

loved the inclusion of the writing prompt at the end, really encourages me to go write something with this haha

[@dreamluvr1600]

man this video is amazing. very helpful, you’re a savior

[@SamChaneyProductions]

1:17 At first I thought this sounded a lot like the progression from Breathe by Pink Floyd but that is actually a D7#9 to D7b9 to E-. It's in the same key though and the D#dim7 has a lot of the same notes as a D7b9 (it has the b9, 3rd, 5th and 7th)

[@YoniFogelmanMusic]

Still SUCH a big fan of these videos! Please keep em coming!

[@philipshergold4771]

Awesome video. I always try to implement diminished chords into my progressions and this has just widened my perspective! Thank you!

You're the fucking king my man. These videos are amazing.

[@LiamGaughan]

Only thing that is missing is the fact they are symmetrical, which can open up some great key changes.

[@ApolloJetsonKND]

Damn this was really informative! I was litteraly just trying to do this in a beat i was making with a vocal sample i recorded but i couldn’t figure it out but now that makes more sense using a formula until i can memorize it! Im going to print that sheet out

truly amazing, thank you very much myles! keep it up

[@joshsong3028]

Love how you make these videos. Keep it up! -fan of diminished chords

[@aleccraig7283]

There are only 3 different diminished 7 chords. By that I mean there are only 3 different note combinations to make a diminished 7 chord. For instance, Myles lead the D#dim7 into E, because E is a half step about the root D#. But D#dim7 (D#, F#, A, C) are the same notes in F#dim7 (F#, A, C, D#) , Adim7 (A, C, D#, F#), and Cdim7 (C, D#, F#, A). So you could by the same logic resolve to G, Bb, or Db.

[@ericschwartz9982]

Very enjoyable and informative videos! I just started working on learning more about theory after I grew tired of the rock and blues genres and wanted to learn theory, as well as widen my interest with jazz and American standards. At my guitar lesson yesterday the instructor mentioned tritone substitution. I then found your lesson on tritones and followed it up with intermodal relationships and now this one. You are doing great work! Thank you!!

[@R5Grishabhgoel]

please make more videos... this is amazing..

Edit: If you want a specific key, I love it in G.

[@santiagocamejoc]

Thank you man

[@RememberGodHolyBible]

I think in the Db dim7th chord to Cm6 chord to G progression, that the Db chord is a misspelled E chord. It is an Edim7 to Cm6 to G progression a 6 to 4 to 1. I say this because Dbo7 is Db Fb Abb Cbb, and while you get diatonic semitones resolving to the Cm6 chord, the Abb has to go up a comma to G and the Cbb would seemingly go down to A. The Cbb to A movement is smaller than a diatonic semitone and may sound potentially interesting, but it is functionally not sound, not coherent, too distantly related to G in context, it is very far outside the vicinity of G major. Whereas if the Db chord if spelt G Bb Db E (which is an E diminished 7th chord) you could resolve to G A C Eb then to G G B D, very easily having all the notes exist within G major's 17 note vicinity. Functionally that "Db dim chord" is not a flat 5 but it is a diminished chord on vi. When you tune it in just intonation, aka Pythagorean tuning, you can hear how important the spelling is in how it relates to harmonic function. The E dim chord keeps everything pointing at G major, whereas the Db dim would be coming from a different harmonic area or what I call vicinity with the Abb and Cbb. I enjoyed the video though. Also more importantly, if you are to live, you are going to need to look these up in a King James Bible and heed the words written: 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 KJV Romans 10:2-13 KJV Proverbs 30:4-6 KJV John 14:6 KJV John 14:22-24 KJV John 17:17 KJV Psalms 12:6-7 KJV

[@a_wild_Kirillian]

[@ronaldo.araujo]

Incorporating rythm to your videos was the best guess you could have, I think that if someday I become a music teacher I'm gonna do it as well

[@calexito9448]

In the style of bossanova i made this: In the key of C major: 4/4 (1 chord for each compass, nothing difficult) bpm: 120 C6add9 - B#dim7 - Amin7 - C/G - Fmaj7 - F#dim7 - C/G - Gdim7 - Dmin7 - GAug7 - and gets back to C
