Your third example has parallel fourths. Is this ok? It sounds fine!

[@MusicMattersGB]

@andrewlord3398 Parallel 4ths are not a problem unless they are causing second inversion chords to be used unsatisfactorily.

A very good guide, but one i will put on the back burner for a while. I want to master my triads. I started trying jazz chords early on and had no idea what I was doing. Slow and steady wins the race.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Absolutely. You would find our Keyboard Harmony course really helpful. It works through the harmony agenda step by step.

Thank you for another excellent Video on resolution of these intervals. I would love to see a video on how to prepare for the 7ths and extensions. thank you for your great channel 🙂

Thanks for sharing this interesting video. 2:28 Just when I ran out fingers.. . . and noticed that it's just two "chromatic" 7th chords stacking one on top of the other.

Hi Mr Gareth, might you be able to do a video on Jazz Chords? I'd greatly appreciate that! ❤😊

Excellent - very helpful. Your video has given context and affirmed / helped firm up my understanding of use of extended chords: making the Jazz "guide tones" (3rd and 7ths) have context in the tones to include in extended chords. You discussed the b9 : next time around I would find it helpful if you could address use of #9, #11 and b13 which are extensions used in Jazz - most frequently in relation to dominant chords. You discussed making ii9 into II9 by raising the 3rd ; in other videos you have talked about the bII chord (and here i beg forgiveness as I can never instantly remember how this relates to Neopolitan 6ths) - can one extend the bII chord? Thanks

[@MusicMattersGB]

Okay.

Are this videos and information included in your courses on mmcourses website..? If yes which course includes all this music composition videos?

[@MusicMattersGB]

This material is covered in greater detail in our Advanced Theory course.

[@aniketpatil2143]

I checked on your website but there are no this videos from KZbin there. I wanted to know that all this information shared here does it it include in those courses?

[@MusicMattersGB]

Hi. The course videos are not available on KZbin, they are unique to the website and each course. There are only preview’s available here: kzbin.info/aero/PL5j5H06QkhxG6CaTXXaPWFh2FWQUIORHe

[@davidwatts3166]

Thank you Gareth. Am I right in thinking that in jazz/pop chord notation one would write the root position 11th as a slash chord eg G/F or D/C?

[@MusicMattersGB]

Yes

[@brittenmusic6923]

G/F or D/C will give you the #11, F/G or C/D will give you the Sus11

[@MusicMattersGB]

😀

[@Hosker25]

Wouldn't those examples be 13th chords? I think you'd need to reverse the order.

[@Hosker25]

Or inverted 7th chords.

[@mrbrianjhewitt]

Hi Gareth, I tried creating a German sixth chord progression using extended chords but I think the momentum got lost in all the extended notes. It may've been my arrangement but it just sounded like it went from one cool chord to another. Is there a way of possibly creating German sixth chord progressions using extended chords?

[@MusicMattersGB]

The German 6th is enharmonically identical to a Dominant 7th in a different key therefore you can extend to a 9th or 11th or 13th.

[@Amoresimz]

In a relative minor of G major, is it possible for I to use F# while playing a song it that minor key. Secondly , how does natural harmony or melody affect that same minor relative of G Major

[@MusicMattersGB]

In E minor you wouldn’t normally use F# in chord I.

[@Amoresimz]

@@MusicMattersGB but is it supposed to be used In it's scale ?

[@MusicMattersGB]

@Amoresimz F# is in the key of E minor but is not part of the tonic chord

[@markchapman6800]

Thanks Gareth. Why is the semitone clash between the simultaneous sounding of the leading note and its note of resolution (B and C in C major) seen as ugly in an 11th chord, whereas the same between the subdominant and its note of resolution (F and E in C major) is hunky-dory in a 13th? My choir did a modern piece a while ago where I had to sing the latter clash against the singer with the melody, accurately but not too loud, and it was a bit of a pain.

[@MusicMattersGB]

It’s often a matter of the spacing of the chord/ dissonance.

[@derkurator9940]

Great lesson! I have a question: I often see 7 chords in Baroque and older music where the third is missing and not the fifth (1-5-7) So is it also possible in a major 7th chord to leave out the third?

[@MusicMattersGB]

Thanks. Yes. Particularly with major 7th chords.
