Resolution and the Dominant 7 Chord

[@joepolygraph]

"Black Market" is such a strong word, I like to call it, an alternative market for the procurement of rare and interesting material

[@seandaniel23]

Everyone is so PC these days.

[@joepolygraph]

Lmao

[@joeldcanfield_spinhead]

I've stumbled on the same hole in my songwriting a few times this year. This fills it. I'll get a lotta miles out of this. Excellent.

[@seandaniel23]

So great to hear Joel!

[@hatemkarboul4399]

Good one Sean .. big fan !

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@chadhubbard6217]

it is also best to mention that resolutions are tonal center of the leading tone. note when walking chords use close cords for proper voice leading ( inversions).

[@chadhubbard6217]

leaping octaves will sound loose and messy. Sean you are so wise on that axe.

[@seandaniel23]

Great addition, I should mention that in a future video. Thanks :)

[@stevanlezaja4203]

Great video, I love the fact that you interract with the community

[@seandaniel23]

Gotta show love to my peeps!

[@stevanlezaja4203]

Sean Daniel One love

[@leebraly3904]

Thanks. Good info to think about.

[@seandaniel23]

Just in time for New Year's!

[@Ryan_Perrin]

The topic of tension and resolution was a great choice!

[@Ryan_Perrin]

Btw good use of relative scales and chromatic notes

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much Ryan!

[@GCWFilms]

Hey Sean! I only found your videos a couple days ago and I can already say you have one of my favorite channels on KZbin! Thanks for the great content, man!

[@seandaniel23]

Welcome to the party Garret! Thanks for watching!

[@tabor503]

intro was hilarious!

[@seantaylor6334]

I love the content Sean, feels weird saying that haha, but you doing these vids reinforces a lot of stuff and gives a clear and understandable link to theory in music, really helpful as I've started writing my own stuff recently, thank you, the un-sung hero of KZbin guitar lessons :) keep up the great work man

[@seandaniel23]

Man thanks so much Sean!!!

[@jonahguitarguy]

After that opening I thought maybe you were giving a lesson on Dahmer 7th chords.

[@seandaniel23]

Hey oh!

[@jamesadcock5235]

Also finish a song in a major key with a minor chord, eg paranoid black Sabbath is in E major finishes abruptly with the E minor chord

[@seandaniel23]

Great addition!

[@ukaszStachowiak]

this is very interesting knowledge to have! Thank you! ;)

[@seandaniel23]

I'm happy to share!

[@bestboy897]

You're a monster sean Daniel, i knew it, these polo shirts provide a good cover.

[@seandaniel23]

+fazeel ashraf shhh!

[@insanedrummer89]

Good stuff man. E7 to Am works because in minor the leading tone or a half step to the root G# to A is almost always used, the Harmonic Minor Scale.

[@seandaniel23]

Harmonic minor for the win!

[@andie2597]

can we talk about what he just started that video with??? this is the first video i've ever seen by him and 😭😭

[@seandaniel23]

Oh there are A LOT more

[@stinkwhistle756]

preach it dad

[@seandaniel23]

I won't let you down, son!

[@Seltaeb_]

omg, I was just thinking about this topic! :D

[@seandaniel23]

I got ya!

[@bestboy897]

i knew sean was a cannibal

[@seandaniel23]

^reformed cannibal

[@8bitheroes86]

When you use a dominant chord (one not found in the key) aka secondary dominant to go to another chord like that i believe its called tonicization. :)

[@seandaniel23]

I'm bout to tonicisize this comment.

[@redwalrustmnc5256]

lol at your opening. great topic

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for watching :)

[@user-pk4sd9dd2w]

What I don't get is why a dominant 7 (maj triad + minor 7) is so common yet a minor triad + major 7 isnt? Just doesn't seem symmetrical to me? Find your vids really useful Sean thank you!

[@seandaniel23]

It's really just the spacing of the intervals. That major 7 rubbing up against the root note in addition to the minor 3rd just isn't as pleasing I guess. But there's still a place for it!

[@looganne9598]

ayy i love organs too! but the ones in church...

[@seandaniel23]

Hey oh!

[@deloincec]

so good ! does that mean we can go do that for any minor in the scale to create tension ?

[@seandaniel23]

Absolutely!

[@deloincec]

look over the moon, it's me !

[@inescapablestud]

Do you feel eating ears of other musicians help your tone, also how would you force a chord progression to resolve on other chords in a key for more modal playing? Do you just riff/ play a chord from the mode and that naturally makes it resolve somewhere else or is there more to it?

[@seandaniel23]

I personally think tone is in the hands, so I usually eat the fingers. I think it's a combination of avoiding the 'I' chord and hammering into whatever is special about the mode you're working in (like really go after that flat 7 for a mixolydian vibe).

[@inescapablestud]

Sean Daniel Thank you so much it's these little things that are helping me connect the dots.

[@krishnankp4543]

sir pleas play the suspended 4

[@seandaniel23]

Great chord.

[@thegreatestdao]

Hey Sean, bringing a bloody Mary with you next time could make you a legit Cannibal. 💀😀

[@seandaniel23]

Haha, you got it!

[@andrewptob]

Thanks for the info! Didn't realize the dominant 7 would be the 5 chord. For a blues progression, should that 5 always be dominant 7 chord, or can it be a regular major chord?

[@seandaniel23]

It can for sure be a regular major chord. You can always replace a dom7 with a major chord, adding the 7 might make it sound bluesier though :)

[@andrewptob]

Sean Daniel Cool. Makes sense. Thanks again. I appreciate the help! Happy new year...

[@Geeetarr]

hey Sean, why don't you do some shredding on an electric guitar?

[@seandaniel23]

+Guitar Arabia Coming soon!

[@adnansusic1650]

3:50 - 4:05 so i do not even have to make the e dominant Will it just resolve by itself?

[@fabriziom2661]

That intro caught me off gaurd

[@adnansusic1650]

4:44 - 5:18 so of i understand the concept right a B7 as an example Will resolve good on a E major but also on a E minor?

[@seandaniel23]

Yup! You got it :)

[@Lampkeeper]

is Secondary dominants.

[@seandaniel23]

That too ;)

[@gfuseau]

Hey Sean, if I'm playing a chord progression that goes like C7 - Fsus4 - F should I use C Ionian or C Mixolydian? Is the B tone too much of a dissonance? I'm trying to make a melody and Ionian doesn't sound right. What other scales can I use?

[@seandaniel23]

I wouldn't say it's 'too' dissonant, but I think C mixolydian is a better choice. Personally I'd think of it more as an F Ionian or D minor type thing, but choosing which notes to embellish and what shapes to get into are what really gives you a unique voice as a player :)

[@chadhubbard6217]

its a good idea to think about if you care about the people listening 'at all'. that line 😂😂😂😂. leaving a song on a cliff hanger....not the best way to gain support.

[@seandaniel23]

Haha, right?

[@Daytripper51]

Is this "Resolution #9"???..................bump....

[@seandaniel23]

Not quite.

[@DavidRFIT]

YOU STOPPED? So who's behind my "SD" branded liver?

[@seandaniel23]

Might be one of Snoop Dogg's. Should probably smell that first.

[@tabor503]

Or not, there's no tension. In blues isn't a dom7 chord a tonic.

[@MultiCoolDe]

Hey, if you ain't gonna eat those organs, just send'em to me. Deal?

[@seandaniel23]

I had to dump them to avoid temptation.

[@frankpurciful7926]

Cannibalism is not laughing matter. Ok...Ok yes it is.

[@seandaniel23]

We're just animals anyway, amirite?

[@SleuthySloth]

lmao I love how rushed the ending is

[@seandaniel23]

Get me outta here!

[@lukerussell4055]

hey can u sell me a kidney before u eat it?

[@seandaniel23]

Man I've kept my resolution, zero kidneys eaten this year.

[@ashwinirabidas9080]

Dafuq Neil Patrick Harris??

[@seandaniel23]

I get that a lot :)

[@ashwinirabidas9080]

Sean Daniel haha jokes aside man, you're a great teacher. I don't know what your music taste is but I get a lot from you. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Such a dark intro.
