What's the Difference Between D7 and D dominant 7?

My next video is on why I said "Dorian is a major scale with a b3 and b6." You guys are asking all the right questions, I'm so excited you like this nerd stuff.
Short answer: music theory grammar.
Long answer: I know why you all think it's the minor scale with a raised 6th. Hang on, we'll talk about it soon, my nerds.
The questions in this video came from my student via our one-on-one guitar zoom lesson. We had a fascinating discussion, and I wanted to share that conversation on KZbin. It's a really interesting way to look at modes, and the history of mixolydian mode is legit.

@@rayl6901 so..what is so illogical about music theory...except the misquoted garbled BS so many who think they learned something spout? It's mostly simple arithmetic. The only illogical thing is basing everything in the key of C instead of the key of A. I'm thinking as usual, all women know nothing about logic so they spew nonsense like that. Lets just brand anything beyond 3rd grade level knowledge as illogical, as it's just too complicated to bother your pretty little head about.

[@quailstudios]

@@LessonsWithLindy I like starting with the Major Scale because a lot of music is in the Ionian mode. Minor is also very compelling and popular. It's variations to these two scales that make music come alive. We can describe them as different modes and we can describe them as variations to the major and minor scales. We can look at music in different ways, ways that make sense in our minds, and that's good.

After I realised my mistake, I was curious to hear what the explanation was going to be, given it’s kinda a one word answer. But I loved that history stuff. Mixolydian has been my comfort zone before I knew what it was, I just liked the sound of the flattened seventh. Then to discover it was kinda the OG of western formal music was fascinating, and to hear aeolian and Ionian were so much newer! I always assumed the modes were fairly contemporary. Fascinating.

I enjoyed this and I was smiling throughout. That is a good sign 🙂 Music and humor. Very good. Thank you. And here ends the niceties. You asked for questions. You´re about to get one that many consider to be bad. It may even be the forbidden question. I don´t know. I have a seriously mixed background. Born in Turkey of Georgian and Greek and Crimean Tartar ascendency, living in Norway the last 50 years. Exposed early to Gregorian music then rock and blues and jazz and pop and Turkish "palace music" that build upon Gregorian, Balkan and middle eastern music. Later also to various folk music styles (Turkish, Balkan, Irish, Norwegian, and country). Here´s the question: Turkish "palace music" builds upon "makam"s, which I believe relates to modes. Do you have any idea what they are and how they can be explained in terms of western music theory? You´re allowed to Google it up before you answer 🙂 You´re also allowed to say "never heard of it" or "I´ll ask the vampire if I find one". Vlad would know. He had this thing with the Ottoman Empire 🤣

[@crtune]

Enjoying this so far. To really get a taste of "Gregorian modal" styles listen to some Gabrieli Brass music. It's modal, later than the strictly vocal stuff, but strictly based upon certain church modes. The great reason to listen to this stuff is the trumpets and trombones are really clear and hit intervals pretty accurately. When I teach this stuff I start with the DORIAN mode because I want jazz trombone students to use that mode for their minor licks and immediately react when the see ii - V - I progressions. The Rameau thing is pretty insightful, frankly the whole group of strictly "classical" types like Hayden, Rameau, Mozart all reflect this attempt to systematize what would have been the earlier systems like counterpoint and modal music. For jazz they are going to have to go beyond modes and also have PENTATONIC mastery, and understand Blues Scale inserted transition notes. All this will imbue the licks you wind up having in your bag of tricks. I also try to impress upon students to understand the TRITONE portion of dominant chord creation. So, I point out to them an F and a B will outline a G7 really well with the lowered 7 and 3rd. They resolve two ways inward or outward - outward is a straight move to E and C. Inward is a resolution to F# and A#, so this resolves to an F# major chord, and that, too, is a tritone away from C. For playing backing chords on a keyboard the F, B, E (tritone, P4) type set of three is very useful.

[@ImYourOverlord]

Yes, Lindy.

[@RayyMusik]

I already knew most of that, having played blues and modal jazz ever since. But I really enjoyed your fresh, intelligent, hilarious kind of presentation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Btw: how is music not black & white? Maybe not for a guitarist, but I always have only b&w keys in front of me. 🙃

[@MOAB-UT]

Very simple way to remember Mixolydian is that it simply stars on the very familiar second position (or 3rd depending where you start it) of the Minor Pentatonic scale. There are a couple of more simple notes you can choose to add if you want to. Since it is a Major mode, it will have 7 notes vs. penta is 5. Think of it like this- it's simply the same pentatonic shape you already know, but you are MIXing things up a bit. Start on that second shape (on D in this case) and optionally add 2 more notes on the A and D open strings- you add a G and C which are simply semi-tones up on the A and D strings respectively. It may seem confusing at first but it is actually very, very simple. That is why it seems tricky- it's simplicity makes it elusive.

[@ErnieLeblanc]

Excellent!🎯🙏✌️🙏🎯

[@stevebrown5597]

Ha I’m persuaded to get all myxolidian again!

[@LessonsWithLindy]

I encourage this

[@wijk89]

Dominant seventh chords are often built on the fifth scale degree (or dominant) of a key. For instance, in the C major scale, G is the fifth note of the scale, and the seventh chord built on G is the dominant seventh chord.

[@LessonsWithLindy]

Yes, dominant is actually going off the V degree of a key, you nailed it. Gregorian Modes weren't thinking that way, but this is the modern and most common way to think of it present day.

[@wijk89]

@@LessonsWithLindy I know.

[@snotpu]

@wijk89 would you Lindy mind explaining that in more detail, or differently. Not getting the connection between the fifth note and dominant seventh chord.

[@wijk89]

@@snotpu A dominant seventh chord consists of the dominant triad (fifth note of the scale is the root of the dominant chord) and an added note a minor seventh above the root. For example, the dominant seventh chord in C major is G-B-D-F.

[@scooperjs]

Very, very interesting. So when we play the fifth chord of a scale as dominant 7th we are adding a note that is not in the root scale because we have actually switched from the Ionian mode to the mixalydian mode. Is that correct?

[@LessonsWithLindy]

In some instances, yes, this will be correct. Mixolydian mode can be used to construct chord progressions, this is absolutely a valid through process. There will be times this V7 chord appears, but there's another composition technique happening, it really depends on context.

[@robst247]

I'm struggling to decide which is more irresistible: the black-clad solid-body angel with the beautiful voice or the black-clad hollow-body D'Angelico with the beautiful voice. Which model is the latter?

[@LutherBaker]

Fascinating! Okay, have a naive question. Toward the end you mentioned a student might ask if the dominant was related to the major scale. I have that same question but I would frame it differently. The progressions you played, aside from the "quality" of the chords, were, in fact, relate to I. The chords were clearly based on the I, IV, and V degrees. And, unless there is some pedantic thing I am missing (please please tell me) then in fact, yes, the "framework" within which we are thinking is still rooted on the I, presumably Ionian, presumably, the MAJOR scale. Is the "root" of this progression a separate concern than the "Major" mode of this progression?

[@LutherBaker]

FWIW, the reason this question ^^ comes to mind in a noob such as myself is because ... to me, it looks like you're changing keys on every chord. My dilemma isn't really major or mode related at all. Its really more a "panic" given the expectation that I can change keys with every chord. If that is the case, then the rules I currently follow are flawed -- because normally, to play a note outside the tonality I've selected "needs to be important and intentional". But, if anyone anywhere can simply play any chord and then play the mode associated with that chord ... help me please! Make it make sense! Does one figure this stuff out through "happy accidents" or is there a methodical way to proceed through this uncanny valley?!

[@LutherBaker]

I do take respite in knowing that I still see I, IV, and V in the root ... but what I don't understand is "how far does this go". Where are the natural limits? Why does it work that I can keep modulating, but root-wise, stay in the same key and still feel home on "1" at the end of the day.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking that Lindy has a gorgeous voice :chuckles:

[@guillaume1306]

Thanks for clearing that out! That was so well explained and that's something that I've been wondering for years. I just have one tiny comment....when you said that the Dorian scale is a major scale with a flat 3 and flat 7 at 2:53 that made me wince lol. I hear what you are saying by "major scale", as I understand that in this particular context you are referring to the fact that it's the intervals of the C major scale that you just shift to the 2nd degree of the scale (D) to get the Dorian mode..same intervals, just in a different order. However, since the Dorian mode is also a scale itself, it seems incorrect or confusing to say that it's "a major scale with a flat 3rd". It's not. The Dorian mode is a minor scale precisely because it has a flat 3rd, and also because in the major scale, the chord triad for the second degree (D dorian if we're in C Major) is minor (D F A). And, as written on Wikipedia: "The modern Dorian mode is equivalent to the natural minor scale (or the Aeolian mode) but with a major sixth. The modern Dorian mode resembles the Greek Phrygian harmonia in the diatonic genus. It is also equivalent to the ascending melodic minor scale with a minor seventh." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorian_mode#:~:text=The%20modern%20Dorian%20mode%20is,scale%20with%20a%20minor%20seventh. So I don't think it's correct to say "this is a major scale with a b3, b7". What distinguishes the Dorian mode from other minor scales is the major sixth, not the b3 b7. Now, maybe you have a valid reason to refer to the Dorian mode a "major scale with a b3, b7" that I am not aware of. I am more than happy to be corrected and I'd actually be very interested to learn something new here. It's just that I've always been told that what makes a scale major or minor is the 3rd, and while I've been using and referring to this concept for years, it's the first time I am hearing somebody speaking of a major scale with a b3. :) Nevertheless, your explanation on the dominant chords and the history of the Mixolydian mode were crystal clear and very insightful. Great video. Thanks very much for that ! :)

It depends on function.. there are 3 major chords in major scale harmony.. Major/Lydian/Mixolydian ..

[@LessonsWithLindy]

we compare every mode back to the major scale. Even if it's a minor mode. Phrygian, compared to the major scale, is a b2, b3, b6, and b7. That's the standard way to think of it. But yes, you're right, those 3 are the major modes.

@@LessonsWithLindy I was referring to when you said a D chord comes for the D major scale. That’s true but if you encounter a D major chord in say the key of A .. as the IV you’ll probably find more success if you use the notes of the key rather than switching to the major scale of the chord that’s not the tonal center.

I literally have been asking myself this question, Pourquoi dominant? Which is strange because I don’t know the answer, so why did I keep asking myself? Thank goodness fate served up your video to free me from my prison.

The way I always see it.... it's music theory not music fact. 🙃. Great video subscribed 😀

NICE to see a lady guitarist geeking out on music theory! \m/

I thought Dorian was minor not major. 🤔
