Understanding what a secondary dominant is and being able to recognize or find them for chords is a powerful tool you can use in your playing and compositions. This video will show you how to use them, understand them and improvise over them
And actually, it is pretty simple if you know your basic scales.

My name is Jens Larsen, Danish Jazz Guitarist, and Educator. The videos on this channel will help you explore and enjoy Jazz. Some of it is how to play jazz guitar, but other videos are more on Music Theory like Jazz Chords or advice on how to practice and learn Jazz, on guitar or any other instrument.
The videos are mostly jazz guitar lessons, but also music theory, analysis of songs and videos on jazz guitars.

My man, you just connected so many pieces of music theory in my mind with this video. Once upon a time back in high school, I used to be first chair cello, but I never did understand music theory. I was really good at sight reading, learning new music, and being able to play it very well, but I didn’t understand any of it and the music theory portion of my education went way over my head. I’ve decided to pick music back up and learn to play a few other instruments and this time I have decided to dedicate myself to learning and understanding music theory because I also want to write music. I’ve been learning all the theory stuff now, but it’s all been this kind of disjointed and disconnected bits and pieces of information that I know theoretically, but still didn’t really understand. For whatever reason, this video just connected so many different pieces of all of that for me. This video explains what a 251 is to me, in a way that’s more meaningful than just saying that’s how you change keys. This video gives me an understandable explanation of how chords direct you to go somewhere and how you can choose what chords to use based on where you want to go. I don’t even play guitar, I’m learning bass and piano, but I love watching your videos for the way that you explain music theory. Thank you so much.

It always seems like you are speaking directly to me when you give the "not just theory" speech. I do try to cram as much theory in my head whether I use it or not. Just in case. I relate to the sudoku and crossword analogy. Your reminders do help me focus and apply new concepts to my playing rather than store them away. Thanks for that. I hear this one quite a bit...

Still learning basic theory, but when you are building a dominant chord from the Ami scale, the vi chord of C major, it spells EGBD, which is a minor chord. I went through several books and videos and no one says that raising the third to major is an accepted practice. Finally found an online piano theory website which discusses and clarifies this. Am I the only one who was confounded by this? But I do love your very clear and energetic lessons Jens.

Thanks! I don't think they always are great starting points. There are also other things that makes Autumn Leaves easy as a chord melody arrangement.

Very nice Jens! Couple of questions. So, a subdominant is a relative five of any diatonic chord (apart from the tonic) in a particular key? Also, in a major/minor cadence, the five of a five is the two, so you could use that subdom chord in place of or together with the two chord (m7, m7b5)? Lastly, the examples you give of using a subdom to pull toward its resolving chord - would the use of a G7 to return to the CM7 in Autumn Leaves in Gm be an example of this?

Very well explained. Is it OK to improvise with secondary dominants in a modal tune, or will you get busted by the jazz police?

I have a question here Jen’s! Learning all of this harmony stuff from your channel and trying to really grasp it. When I apply this to the tune ‘Isn’t she Lovely’ that would make the F#7 chord the 5 of 5… correct? It doesn’t sound right with Lydian dominant sounds.. unless it’s a 2-5 in B major? Before switching to E major? HELP😭😭😭
@simonsilvia6864
@simonsilvia6864 3 ай бұрын
Would the dominant 2 chord in a major key usually be considered non-resolving? And therefore more tonic sounding scales and arpeggios like melodic minor and it’s modes? I usually struggle with this type of chord. Tritone sub, major 2 dominant7 , and the chromatic dominant chords you see sometimes

G major? But yes that is a V of V in E. I am not saying that it ALWAYS is a lydian dominant, just that it is common in Jazz.

@@JensLarsen got it! I meant 2-5 in B*** major before switching to E major in isnt she lovely. Cadence being C#m- F#7 implies that B major is the tonal center But the B major is another 7 chord ! Leading to the tonic of the song Could that why I am hearing Dorian / mixolydian instead of melodic minor?
