Tonic Subdominant and Dominant: What do these terms mean?

[@InsolentMusicalPeasant]

Can't get much clearer than that. It's actually a little frustrating that Music Theory was so mysterious to me for so long, when all it takes is good instruction like this to make it seem simple. Much appreciated.

Great video, I'm french and piano player but I succedded to understand everything, that means you explain really clearly (with intuitive process) unlike a lot of other videos, so we can fully understand, thanks.

@@CyberMetalBBM Avec plaisir!

This is the "why" question I've had at the back of my head for a long time.. excellent lesson. Thanks Chris. ❤ Anyone not signed to to Patreon/The Studio - it's this x100 for the price of a beer.

Excellent lesson, Chris! When you finally understand this stuff, it's a game changer. I learned this through my journey, and the way you teach it is so clear. Never forget the fundamentals, people! It's the foundation of all music.

Truth!

Thank you so much for the quality of these uploads. I turn to them on a regular basis. I also use them as an absolute essential prior to a deep dive into a subject. Thank you. Have a glass of something appropriate on me. Seasons greetings and all the best for 2024.

[@curiousguitarist]

Thank you very much, Mike. I’m so glad that the channel has helped, it really means a lot to me.

I LOVED this lesson - juicy deep dive!!! Thanks Chris!

[@timsellsted521]

Great lesson Chris! This makes so much sense. That leading tone explanation was a "lightbulb" moment for me.

[@curiousguitarist]

Every time I see it I'm still like "wahhhh? really?"

[@JCFern]

I’ll need to watch, more like LISTEN and train my ears to this a few more times… But the potential of learning how to make conscious, informed decisions of which chords to select in relation to the chosen tonic, in order to generate the desired effect(tension/resolution), is too good to pass up. This is a deep dive, beyond simply saying “here’s a I-IV-V”, but rather “what and why” the chord progression functions as it does. Another golden lesson to file into my pea-brain 🙏

Brilliant lesson

[@kdavis63]

THis is a great lesson!!! I have always wondered this...once again, you show us the way. Mahalo

[@tone-glide2402]

This is great! a little confusing in the middle for me, but ill watch this again. Very useful tools for writing! Thank you! Chris!

[@joeurbanowski321]

This is great stuff Chris..! Should be a fun weekend soaking up the new info.. and hopefully put it to use..👍🏼❤️

[@lukaszmikula123]

I would add that move from major I chord to minor III chord is a saddest one. Even though we are in a happy major Key . When I say this at a party it is foliowed by embarrasing silence, that is why they do not invite me anymore. Cheers

[@curiousguitarist]

You need to be at all my parties :)

[@lukaszmikula123]

Cheers Chris :)

[@ahallekatti]

very very helpfully interesting. thanks a tonne !

[@niner8tangojuliet149]

Awesome. I’m playing around with sweep picking which really is a lot of fun. I mess around with common chord progressions like a 1 6 4 5 in C , so this should help add some color to it.

[@curiousguitarist]

Yeah it will! Great tool to use to really wring out that technique!

[@Robert-fi9xl]

I dig it. Thank you

[@JaysonT1]

Hallelujah

[@donlessnau3983]
