Just like old times, I caught a few things while editing that might be confusing, or that I may have skipped over. First though, I think you should visit youtube.com/@BeardStank and pester him to make more videos! He also drummed for the last segment (#7_ and I forgot to credit him but you can hear him shredding it. 🔴Realistically, #6 should say "some modes," not "most modes". 🔴at 07:09 I say that the melody is "E major" when I meant to just say "E". 🔴I really trashed the idea of m3 and M3 happening at the same time (or b7 and 7), but there's more to that story. I understand that some people won't hear that moment as dissonant as I do and that's okay. M3 and m3 actually get mixed frequently in some styles like blues and rock and it sounds awesome. Despite that, playing G natural over an E7 chord in this specific setting triggers my ear to hear it as "wrong music." Just my tastes though, so don't take this rule of "don't mix 7ths/3rds" as sacrosanct. 🔴When you replace the b7 in Dorian with regular 7 you end up with the melodic minor scale. While melodic minor is rarely if ever composed "in," it often shows up in brief moments like this. If you understand #6 in this video you'll understand what "melodic minor" actually is referring to. 🔴I say E major a lot when I mean E7, but in this context, the two are basically interchangeable. When we talk about V in minor keys, it's expected that it might be seen as V7. You're not adding anything new to the mix when you turn V into V7, since its chordal 7th is just the 2nd of the key. 🔴The chorus for "Comfortably Numb" is in D major but it also "breaks the scale" a bit like we discuss in #2 by introducing a C chord, which is bVII. You can think of this as being borrowed from Mixolydian if you like or you can simply think of it as b7 temporarily taking over for natural 7. ph 🔴That Db/F chord is a Neapolotian 6th chord. I haven't done a lesson on it yet but hear how nicely it moves to V, which is played as Vsus4 first. Simply put, it's bII in first inversion going to V or V7. -When describing chords in the key of Bm I called A the "natural diatonic 7th." This is confusing because "natural 7th" means leading tone and not b7. I meant the word "natural" in the sense that it "naturally occurs in minor" but upon editing I realized how poor of a phrasing that is. Just imagine I said "diatonic" instead of "natural" in that section please! 🔴My promo for the online book has a typo in the text lol… at the time, a bunch of flat signs went missing but it's been fixed. 🔴By the end of January I expect to be able to take orders and ship the physical Chord Progression Codex to most countries. The sheer size of the book (430 pages) combined with the fact that it's spiral bound means that many print-on-demand companies won't work with me though, which is why things are taking additional time. So check back soon if you want the physical book but don't live in the US! LASTLY - I'm immensely happy to be back on youtube again. I know that might sound weird but really, the book thing was overwhelming. Though I finally got it to where I'm happy with it, the process took way more time, money, and effort than I wanted to invest. Today marks the end of that road though and I'm legit glad to say that my job for the next few years is to make fun youtube vide
