@@MusicMattersGB The most important thing about learning is you must enjoy it... My first real lesson, (60 years ago) I arrived at my teachers with my little Spanish acoustic guitar under my arm and was greeted with "Why did you bring that"?... "Well next time bring a pencil and paper"!
"Inessential notes" is perhaps itself a misnomer, since a piece a music could be very dull indeed if the melody contained only chord tones. "Inessential notes" are often an essential ingredient in the "Tension" component of the "Tension and Release" concept. Great video, as always.
@@MusicMattersGB I much prefer non-chord tone over non-harmonic tone, because especially with the tonic and dominant chords, non-chord tones can be and often are harmonic. Like for example, CM7 would be viewed from a Classical Music context as C major with the B being a suspension of G7 over it, that then resolves to an octave. That's a harmonic non-chord tone.
Hi Gareth. Always very interesting your free videos alongside your courses. Thank you. What I personally find even more puzzling are changing notes. Maybe you find the time to highlight this kind of NCT in one of your future videos just as an idea.
I'm going to rename my sessions at the piano "Gareth Time" since you give me so many ideas about how to practice. I tend to be a technique junky since an inner ear problem has made me allergic to some rhythm patterns. I started this week practicing sequences in every key, and it helps to develop my finger memory. Now I can throw in an échappée de temps en temps. And I should also think about the beat.

Hi Gareth. Is it possible to have an accidental, say F not F# or is it according to the key signature. You say it is always unaccented, but below in the comments you are asked if it can be accented and you say yes. Have I read that correctly or is it a typo. Thanks in advance.
@@MusicMattersGB I thought there must be a bigger picture. It's a bit like going to college, pass the first year exams, only to be told something the same but more in depth, so one grasped the fundamentals initially. It's a matter of a little knowledge can be dangerous. I think!👍 Thanks again.
@@MusicMattersGB hi Gareth, May I know roughly when the video for appoggiaturas and cambiata is coming ? Your video are really helpful and I am still confused with these dissonant non chord tones. Appreciate if it is up. Sorry for the rush
That’s great. Because of lockdown restrictions we are quite some time away from being able to get back in the Studio to record new videos but we will get there later in the year.
Thanks for giving formal terms..becuase I play all 12 notes and im not always formal. it'll make even more sense if you play the guitar...in the Key of D MAJOR/Bmin becuase the NOTES at the NUT are in E min pentatonic or E min7 add4 I'll simple see the E min as the ii or dorian ( as a guide)..... In other words...I can play ANY NOTE at the nut or let it RING OPEN... I'll simply make D Maj chord shape....against the Open G and high E string.. The 5th is in suspens ( ommited or not) D, F#, G, D, E....D Maj add 4/9. Then Im simply going to pick the open A...the 5th is below the D It's a pretty sounding chord.. FOLLOW directions....apply the lessons. Im simply going to play the D#/Eb note..with my pinky into the D note. or Eb/D# Major dyad...then D maj dyad.... Then im going to apply it to OTHER CHORDS...such as the A MAJOR.. play into the A mix or V chord... I already know I can play C Maj or C Maj7 or C maj add2...as the N6 an Intserted chord... But this sounds so much prettier. :-P Im going to play an In complete F MAJOR chord against the open B and E 5, 1, 3 ( inverted) 5, 1, 3, #11, 7.....or C 4, 6, 7, 5... Then im going to simply reach over with my pinky play the G# note on the low E string BEFORE I play the A Maj or A Maj add 4 ( it's just the Open G string...it sounds softer ) Then simply resolve it into the D MAJOR ( R, 5, R, 3) There's other ways I can play into the A chord. Bb into the A Chord, A mix b2....is the V of D Harmonic MAJOR. Thats....D#/Eb......G#......F.....C notes are NOT in D MAJOR I could play A# into B min...but that's typical B Harmonic min stuff. Apply different LESSONs to make different cool/Beautiful music... I used all 12 NOTES....
@@MusicMattersGB Im going to apply the other lessons too In D MAJOR/B min........work the D min or B maj7 into it. :-P There's different ways im going to do it... this isnt a popular chord to make on the Fretboard.

I agree that it’s an unfortunate accepted term but it really means that they are not essential to the harmony. Thanks for your positive comment.
In my opinion a better term would be non-chord tones instead of inessential notes.
That is a term that is sometimes used - or non-harmony notes

It would would help if you first played the music on the board. It would put us in the bath tub so to speak.

all of these different names basically are the same thing; passing notes, auxiliary notes etc
Not the same thing but they are certainly all non-harmony notes.

@@MusicMattersGB Thanks for the prompt reply, so prompt I don't think you caught my edit, (accented note). I can't type that quick!😊
It’s really about the particular context re accidentals and accented or not. Big topic.

Here's one for you... Gm7b5 sometimes known as half diminished... What is bbm6 then?
It's equivalent to the #4
It all depends on key context. Bbm6 could be a Gb major 7 in first inversion for example.
@@MusicMattersGB No f in it?
Bbm6 = Bb Db F Gb
@@MusicMattersGB As I understood the question, he Colin asked what the double-flattened minor 6th would be in a chord of g half diminished.
