the JUICIEST chord..

[@AtomixTiger]

This is the chord version of shading with red instead of grey

[@berxatile]

I think you mean changing the other parameters instead of making the color darker?

[@AtomixTiger]

@berxatile yeah that I forgot other colors except red are also used.

[@aluigiFromKart]

oh so hue shifting

[@Maxanimates2763]

Red is great for warm colors, but I personally use dark blue for cold colors

lol fr, you should check out the video where it show the biggest chord possible, takes up the entire piano! one for each note :3

[@4.0.4]

Does it sound like a piano fell on the sidewalk?

[@manteca5699]

great video! I love the format you've adopted

[@critickid2998]

Music theory guy here. Essentially what you described is a Secondary Leading Tone. A passing chord where the diminished chord will resolve on the chord a semitone above or below it. I.E C# Dim to Dmaj and so on. Extensions of the secondary leading tone will make it even crispier

[@SgtGonji]

I know some of these words.

[@tranthien3932]

I like your funny words, magic man.

[@critickid2998]

​@@SgtGonjiLmaooo, case in point. It's just one of the many ways to resolve a diminished chord. I'm just glad this video shows this technique

[@4lexagoN]

I've always heard this chord a lot but I never knew how to use it well, and use its great potential as well. Watching this video opened my mind to many ideas of composition... I'm very grateful, synthet!

[@pikupixel]

remember, when you play with diminished 7th chords, there is one really sick quality they have You can turn any diminished 7th chord into a dominant chord by dropping one of those notes (doesn't matter which) a single semitone. dominant chords are magic because they have a major sound, but have some of the instability of the diminished chord. they're wonderful for hanging onto a moment of tension that needs to be released

love your presentation style. excellent content. SHORT! I always forget those marvelous dim7s. more saucy than juicy, methinks.

[@ALindaBlox]

i love how chill this dude is!! and how much i can learn from such short videos :D

[@MatthewFTabor]

For any metal people here, it's also super easy to incorporate dim7 arpeggios when playing in harmonic minor or Phrygian dominant, because all four notes are already naturally occurring in the scale.

[@justawhisp4160]

It's so cool watching these videos after getting better at music theory through school. I can point at things and actually know what they mean.

[@josephmichael7713]

Bro, just picked up your channel from the algorithm from your bass video. I'm a self-taught producer of 16 years now (specifically FL Studio). Your vids are such an amazing resource! I'm bewildered by the brevity of them and how you capture complex concepts by teaching in motion with examples from your music. There's a ton of different ideas taught in each of them in such a short amount of time. Truly the top education : time investment contender on this platform. Thank you!

[@synthet7]

thank you!!!!! that's amazing and makes me happy :)

I love everithing about htis videos, the background music becoming main character, your calm voice talking on beat, the information that i get from this (even though i work on Logic Pro), it's just the best things that you can get from a tutorial all in one, beautifully made simphony (I sound like a fucking yt bot) Anyways, great video as always🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@danieles6684]

You have the best channel.

[@telcaum]

I like your content but please make a video about voice leading someday, it really improves jazzy parts like 1:20

[@MarkyD.Ingram]

And if you want to get a little more deliberate as to where you are going you can move just one of the notes in a diminished chord and make it a dominant 5 of the following chord makes it really convenient to just change keys for a sec and then you can just wiggle your way back or whatever. Diminished chords are easily my favorite.

I love this particular tutorial. was trying to figure out diminished and out of scale suspense chords.

[@joekim9790]

So I was classically trained enough to sight read and play some complicated pieces, but not enough to be able to freestyle like that. This is fascinating to watch because I understand all of the music theory, but never seen it in this application. Subscribed.

[@twipple727]

Your style of video really is one of a kind. You've got such an entertaining way of teaching people the ways of music, keep it up! :)

[@TomRudolf]

sensual synthet teaching jazz theory, I'm here for it

[@specimon]

A C#dim is really the upper structure of A7 which in turn is V (Dominant) of Dm. That's why this works so well. Voiceleading 😁

[@Stormhold3r]

Just a quick note about the °7 chord, if you raise the 7th up by a half step, you get a half diminished chord (notated as Ø: example CØ). Really good for introducing for transitioning into a really crunchy chords. Here's an example: DØ, Db7alt, C△), they're also great for turnarounds in minor keys

[@WaffleCat8851]

keep dropping bangers like this

[@Semitotal]

Diminished chords are also great for modulations since they're sort of like "sneaky" dominant7 chords (sharpen any note in a dom7 chord and you get a dim7) then resolve to the new tonic! Boooooom!

[@Bellanzarite]

Your videos are so great. Entertaining and informative. Thank you

[@BerttheNonsolid]

“BAH BAH”

[@rommidayo]

About diminished chords sounding "scary" for people, I think it's because many of us (me included) fail to realize that tension is NOT always about being scary, it's about the dynamics. You can write a happy and easygoing (and not scary at all) song, but it wouldn't be so interesting without the tension. And diminished chords are a very easy way to add that tension to the music (cause they are just stacked b3 intervals, which are dissonant) even for someone who doesn't now much about music theory☺

Something I noticed about your videos, when I listen to them on speakers, your voice is really amazing. But on headphones, somehow your voice is super intimidating and kind of piercing or something. Idk, just thought I would mention that.

[@bird5119]

yeah, im a pretty bad jazz player but i love to mess around by throwing in diminished chords in any passage by using barry harris' 6th diminished scale

[@cuboidraptor2506]

"If I had more time, I would've written a shorter letter." this guy must be immortal

[@michaelthem3]

Using dim chords and also short transitions between ii-V of the next chord to play!

[@lallikallio1370]

C# dim is just A major 7th without the A, making it a very simple choice to play before D minor. Actually most of these "in between chords" can be traced back to being either 5 major - 1 minor or 4 minor - 1 major progressions, which in fact are mirror images of each other

[@Furycad]

Love this channel

[@cadumartins7213]

most of the songs i write nowadays have some diminished chord, they're too good at making us feel uneasy versions of otherwise easy feelings. in this video you went from C to C#° to Dm and it feels like anticipation but if you do C to C° to Dm it feels like hearbreak, add a 6th to the Dm and you invoke instant feelings of almost grief, it's magic. edit: i feel like these types of chords are worthy a lot of conversation cause they break a barrier that feels unbreakable in songwriting. same goes to half diminished chords, for those who don't know, half diminished is when you get a diminished chord and place the 7th a half-step up, it can also be called a minor 7th chord with a flat 5th. these are great at summoning otherwise unusable chords, like doing Cmaj7 into Em7b5 then A7b13 then Dm, shit is jazzyyyy
