@@tonytoy3939 Cheers Tony, I appreciate the encouragement. Feel like it’s still early days for me too, looking forward to seeing how the channel can grow as it continues.
🙏 Thanks Lucy, really appreciate your kind comment. I feel like I'm already winning at 15k, it's just really good to know that people think my little videos have some value and are making a difference to people on their music journey. 😳
This is my new favorite music channel. You have everything right. Your voice and attitude just works for jazz and is really pleasant. The piano roll, pacing and everything… you got it all right. I make videos too (not in music), so I’m kind of blown away by just how right you got it. Love your work - I look forward to seeing more!
great video, clear concise and I really appreciate staying in Cmajor for demonstrations! Already quite familiar with the concept but this video gave me a bunch of ideas I want to try out, thanks!
I agree. I just came across this channel and I’m thinking I can definitely learn from him. Simple and to the point. Everything is structured and explained well and the visuals help
Micheal, these tutorials of yours are so informative and so useful. As one of those folks who as a young kid learned to play by ear alone, having never learned any formal theory, nor even how to even read properly, I find myself later in life trying to filll in the holes in my musical knowledge. I never stopped playing, so it's been about 55 years as a musician, albeit one with plenty yet to learn, and it's so fun to learn new things about something you do and love. Your lessons are so very clearly expressed, and I've picked up so much from these sessions that I just wanted to give you the most heartfelt thanks. You're a great teacher and help make this knowledge instantly attainable. So cheers! Thank you, so much!
Hey Douglas! Thanks for your nice comment, it's much appreciated 🙏. It's great to hear you're finding some value from my videos. Good luck on your musical journey! Cheers
My new favorite channel on TH-cam. I’m not an experienced piano player but we recently bought a very old 6’ 1” Steinway. Thanks for being my new teacher.
Lovely! If you take a standard Andalusian cadence i bVII bVI V And stick a secondary dominant after each chord we get the familiar Hotel. It's so catchy that you can check out any time you like and you can never leave.
I really like the fact that your examples are often using guitar-friendly chords. You start throwing around some E flat this or F# that and some of us get confused.
The more I watch these videos, I realize that chromatic chords in general are just awesome to add to a progression, and add really cool colors to spice things up a bit
Wannabe synthwave/synth rock guy here with a lifelong interest in jazz, classical, rock, pop, showtunes, cinematic etc etc music. I enjoy YT videos that explore & explain ways to develop more versatile compositional colors than just the major/minor keys with only diatonic chord progressions. Your videos are an excellent resource! And make great listening while mowing the lawn. Thanks for what you do!
Thanks man, appreciate your comment 🙏 Glad you're enjoying the videos. I never imagined someone would be watching/listening to them whilst mowing the lawn though! 😂
Michael, I'm a recreational saxophonist and (7 years now) and I've always struggled to understand what a secondary dominant chord really is and why I would ever want to use it in my playing. Your video made it very clear and my confusion is now gone! You did a splendid job not only explaining what it is but where it should be placed and why. Given that I outline chords, (plating one note at a time - since I play and in-line instrument), I was a but skeptical that you'd fare well in breaking it down fir me to digest. You did a magnificent job! Fantastic work and THANK YOU.
🙏 Thank you Alistair, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment. I'm really glad the video helped you finally get over that hurdle. Good luck exploring your secondary dominants!!
great explanation; i've used them a lot and never knew what i was doing; just going on how harmonies worked and how the melody fit inside certain dominant chord infusions.....good stuff!!!
You are the best teacher I have ever seen! I don't even play piano, I play guitar, but I have learnt more from you than any body else. Thank you so much!
Ah, thanks so much, I really appreciate your kind words. It seems that a lot of guitarists are finding my videos helpful which is so great to hear. Thanks for sharing the love 🙏
This was useful...! I have used secondary dominants on my guitar in my songs and also watched many videos to understand, but now i think i understand the concept. Thank you.
I was bored tonight, and decided to study up some music theory (yes I’m a dork) and man I’m a guitar player, not even a pianist, but you’re videos have gave me so much insight and perspective on ways to improve and spice up my songs so much!! These videos are amazing man keep up the good work I’ll definitely be subscribing
I'm a new fan of your videos, firstly because of the subject matter & content (I'm learning new insights with every viewing). But also because of your presentation. It's brilliantly simple and direct. Your teaching style is spot on (maybe you should also be doing videos on "how to teach"?). Thanks for the channel!
Michael. Hands down the best video in explain secondary dominants. Clear, precise and great visuals make this required viewing for any piano or guitar player. Well done!!!
Freshening up on my theory. This definitely a standard set in terms of quality, info and ease of understanding. Very great video for beginners to advanced
Superb video, thank you. It has a great mix of background for the concept vs clearly explaining more detail. Helped me to better understand the detail and practical use.
Fantastic! I finally understand the concept. Your presentation and teaching style is pure gold! Neither too advanced nor too basic. I’m so excited to try this…I’m gonna put a secondary dominant before every single chord of this sheet music 😂
@@michaelkeithson Yes, very much so. Greetings from Germany. Also can you do a few tutorials on different Key modulations and the most common ones in popular music. Best wishes.
@@michaelkeithson Look forward to it. I have such Anxiety over Key changes for 3 reasons 1. what keys should I pick to change key to 2. All the different methods of key changes and 3. how the hell do I then get back to my original key. If your future video can answer these 3 questions then my song writing will dramatically improve. best wishes
FINALLY, I GET IT!! the use of the yellow lettered illustration along w/the keyboard made referencing his explanations MUCH easier. Now I can listen to a song and deconstruct what the chords and chord progressions are in a given song, and how to make mundane basic lame progressions into beautiful passages. Thank you Mr. Keithson!
😂 Awesome, that’s a great way to think of them. When I’m editing I sometimes think ‘man, that’s a lot of talking/information, a bit of noodling will break this up!’ Thanks for watching. 👍🏼
Hi Michael. Thanks to TH-cam's algorithm, I found your channel. Your explanation on this subject is the best one I have found. It helped me a lot. You got a new subscriber !
You are my hero Michael. Thanks to you and your videos, I have found answers to some of the questions I have always had. I love how you explain the theory, and then you give us few examples. Writing the chords on the screen is also very very helpful. Thanks for doing all these.
Ah, thanks Behzad! I really appreciate your kind comment. It's great to hear that you're finding the videos to be really useful. Thank you for leaving a comment 🙏
I stumbled upon your channel a couple of months back. Your teaching and video technique is exceptional. The ‘Diminished Chords - Why they’re the best!’ hooked me. Now I’m working through the info in this ‘Secondary Dominant chords’ video, translating what you reveal into my bass guitar theory and practice. Perhaps in my next life I will find time to learn the piano. I hope one day you make a video on ‘suspended’ chords and demystify their place in composition.
Ah, thanks for the kind comment! It’s great to hear you’re getting some value from my videos. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, I appreciate it. 👍🏼
Great video! I've been recently undertaking the process of analyzing the Bach Chorales, and it's amazing how much he used secondary dominants (also making use of viiº), so understanding them makes analysis a lot easier. What's interesting is similar to your example around 9:00, I typically associate the sound of back-to-back dominant chords moving by 5ths with blues & jazz (where basically every chord is a Dom7) - but just yesterday I was analyzing a Bach chorale and I noticed a chain of secondary dominants a few bars in a row. I thought to myself - wow - Bach could get quite blues-y. Baroque Blues!
Thanks for sharing Jonathan! I'm not very familiar with Bach due to my lack of any classical experience but I get the impression he was the GOAT! Cheers man. 👍
Hey Joshua! Thanks for watching. Diatonic chords are simply the chords that are made up of the notes in the key of the song. So if a song is in C major all the diatonic chords would be C Dm Em F G Am Bdim. I go into a bit more detail on this in my video ‘How to improvise on the piano’, there might be some useful bits in there. 👍🏼
Michael, your video tutorials are on another level!! Pacing, visuals, sound, and the clarity you bring to concepts are a rare find! Definitely subscribed and I hope you keep putting these out. Much appreciated!!!
You know how you learn something, then don't use it for years (decades?!) and the knowledge just sort of evaporates? I know I spent a semester or year of college music theory on this topic, probably in relation to Bach chorales of course. I had forgotten almost all of it. This was an incredible refresher, and arguably better presented than all that chalkboard/piano stuff I immediately brain-dumped in the late '90s! :D
Hi Michael, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I'm on a safari to try and understand harmony beyond the simple 3 note chord so I can apply it to my beginner acoustic guitar playing. The detailed explanation for each part with examples of everything is brilliant. And as someone else commented, the visual effects are perfect. The pacing of the material is also thoughtful and makes what you're saying very compelling. Thanks for all the hard work you have put into this series. Cheers, Richard.
Crystal clear as usual esp re practical applications... often overlooked ....so great to hear & see some of your approaches... much appreciated ! Once you get the various voicings embodied these are super versatile so well worth the practice time
I make it a point to watch each of your videos at least thrice. Although I'm nowhere near understanding all the concepts you discuss, I hope to one day be at least 1/4th as good as you are.

@@michaelkeithson I'm such a novice that I don't even know what to ask for. Circle of fifths is something that I keep hearing about. But I can't quite grasp the concept.
@@jezdan1 Don’t get bogged down with the circle of fifths, I’m not a fan. I think it’s something you should memorise week one of music theory and then never need to talk about again.
