The minMaj7 chord is a hilariously unique and distinct chord that is almost universally perceived as mysterious, creepy, or uncertain. I ask all my students how chords "feel" to them and none of them have EVER named this chord with a positive or bright emotion.

It's good for a gag, but is also very lovely when combined in melodic ways. This video demonstrates the basics of the minor major 7th chord, the music theory on how to build it, where you may have heard it before, and some advice on how you might use it yourself.

Quick fun MinMaj7 factoid I forgot to include- If you take an Augmented triad, you can pick any note and add in the tone a half step above it. This will give you a minMaj7 chord in some inversion or another. There is an Aug triad in every mM7 so you may get the Aug feel out of it, depending on the context

mM7 is like a tamed augmented chord. Still spooky and mysterious but not too sour.

This chord is more Noir than a cigarette in a black & white package.

7:11 That's a good general explanation of why music theory is so important; especially if you're interested in creating music yourself. It's about chunking information and labeling stuff so that learning the whole language of music becomes easier and so you don't have to rely on just trial and error alone. Also: just being able to very quickly communicate musical ideas with others is such a blessing!

This channel is awesome. If this doesn't motivate you to pick up that guitar and start learning how to play, I don't know what can!

If i remember correctly, the end piano arpeggio of Dream Theater's "In the name of god" is a minor major 7, just before the linking note between train of thought and octavarium.

vibraphone players use this chord/arpeggio wih tremolo effect very muchly, But i didn't know the name , so thanks. It is the musical equivalent of a question mark

The James Bond theme and the Penn & Teller theme actually end on MinMaj9 chords ;)

I always think of the final chord in Muse's Supremacy or the James Bond theme when hearing it

That Mixolydian b6 thing really gave me major Rush 2112-Discovery vibes. I wonder if they used that in that song. I’ll have to look.

Love music theory videos from you, especially these kinds. I've applied many to my piano compositions thanks to YOU!

I so enjoy how you instantly ground what you teach into your intros it really helps cement where that flavor comes from.
