Diatonic 7th Chords

so I thought, Let's just listen to an example of 1/ corps. This is kind of Ah, not conventional use, but because we don't encounter this kind of court a lot in a pop song. But this song, this is Ah, under the bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers for a quick little trip down memory Lane has a major seventh chord in it. That's the 1st 1 that's a major triad with a major seventh in it, and it's just really sticks out, and it shows you just like, kind of how beautiful it is. It's a really beautiful chord. So what you're gonna hear is this cord and it's just kind of says it's that kind of chord. That's the best way to explain it. So here comes a major seventh chord right here. So if you hear that, that's you. Listen to that close. You might say, Well, that's a major chord because it has that kind of happy sound. But there's something else in there. There's something else in there that makes it not quite just purely a major chord, and that's what it is. It's that major seventh quality. Here it is...

again, the City of Angels. Lonely Teoh, right here

this is great and very helpfull class, i make and wirte music for more than 2 decades and never gave much about theory, i trusted my feelings to what sound good and what not. Bu t recently i became interested but it all seemed very difficult to me and i didnt got the points behind music theory and how everyhing works together. This class was a game changer for me.. music theory is so simple if you have somebody to explain it in words so that you finally can understand it, and thats Anthony, he is a brilliant guy and he explains it in a simple way that you can easily understand whats going on. This is perfectly the case with this course, the sections are short and to the point, not much talking around and leaving the path, you can make fast progress end learn how music theory works, this is a 5 Star ***** course and hopefully there is more to come

Fabulous course. As a person with dyslexia, trying to remember the notes and chords as letters only is impossible. I love the visual way the chords are demonstrated and explained. I was originally put off by the "electronic" aspect, thinking it was only for learning how to use piano edit roller. However, as a beginner in playing the piano, this course is applicable to all who want to learn and understand music theory in an interesting visual way. Looking forward to next lesson. Will definately be purchasing the course after. Fantastic tutor and course.

Very good class!! Makes it much easier to understand and apply the rules of theory. Anthony is also very wise to suggest to trust your ears, even if what you've written doesn't fit into those same rules. I am so very grateful for you putting this together, Anthony, and for making it available for the general public, Creative Live. I am also very glad I was given the opportunity to learn english in my home country (Brazil), in which many barely know how to read and write in our own native language (portuguese) due to our public education being so bad (which, by its turn, has to do with the myriad of vile creatures that inhabit our representative chambers). Tks XoXo!
