Merci beaucoup for this. I had no musical training until I started studying piano at my retirement. I remember in University liking a song by a Punk group, Doug and the Slugs. Who couldn't like them with a name like that. But I had a friend that sang in a chorale She listened to the song and said "they used the wrong key!" I was impressed but clueless. I will try to find the song and the chord progression to see if I can find out what she meant.
Great video! I came here to understand a little bit better these m6 chords as I just found out that a vii⌀ (m7b5) chord is essentially the same as a ii6 chord. E.g: in the key of C, the vii⌀ is Bm7b5 (BDFA) which is also the third inversion of Dm6 (DFAB) and Dm6 corresponds to the ii6 in the key of C.
Sorry but the F minor chord isn't aeolian, it's dorian and comes from C minor/aeolian, if it was aeolian it would have a b6... and by the way b6 chords don't really exist, because the dissonance outweighs the ambiguity of the inversion, b6 can of course be used as a 64 sus but not as an extension. That said if it is intentional it's a beautiful tonic pedal with an added b6 (it sounds like a bVI/3)... and another point .. the beauty of the minor 6 chord is that it can act as a tonic (dorian/melodic minor) , it can act as a subdominant minor, but most importantly as a m7b5 in first inversion. This means that it takes the place of a rootless dominant 9 chord with the 5 in the bass.. example (1)Am6 (4)Dm6 (5)Bm6.. and if you take into account the tritone sub, the backdoor and the relative dominant: respectively (b2)Fm6 (b7)Dm6 (3)bAm6 can reharm the (5)... a versatile chord indeed!!!
What happens when we have diatonic 6th chords, on VII? It goes like Imaj6 IImin6 IIIb6 IVmaj6 Vmaj6 VIb6 VIIo6??? and Imaj6 Melody line of 6ths are making eolian mode?
I usually use the major scale as reference in all my videos because people are more familiar with it, but you could use the dorian mode to construct minor 6th chords. If you use a minor 6th instead of a natural 6th you get a minor flat 6th chord, which is a slightly different thing.

Cmb6 is the first chord of Twin Peaks' Laura theme
Absolutely great lessons
Thanks Robert!
Awesome video. Gave me a total new approach especially the polarity part. ❤
Glad it was helpful!

That's correct. I've just made a video about m7b5, it will be out at the beginning of May.
I like videos like this which are made clearly and get to the point! Thanks!!!
You're welcome!
i also get thrown off by the m6 chord and the m7b5 chord . also, i didn't know there was a minor b6 chord 🤯. cool!!
Every combination of notes is technically a chord, and can sometimes have two different names.
@@joriankell1983 that is fascinating ngl
Do you plan on tackling augmented chords soon?
Augmented chords video will be published tomorrow!

Aight counted it. Its gonna be VIIob6, but correct me if im wrong
You've got it, VIIob6
For me, a minor 6 chord is making a minor chord sadder if used in the 4th chord on a major scale.
Why is the major scale used as a reference instead of a minor scale or why is the 6th assumed to be natural
I usually use the major scale as reference in all my videos because people are more familiar with it, but you could use the dorian mode to construct minor 6th chords.

@@WriteASong Thanks makes more sense now
What app do you use to play beats?
The chord progressions are made with Hookpad. Here's a video explaining it: th-cam.com/video/YwQxYsVpOq4/w-d-xo.html
