- There's a chord that can resolve to every single one of the 12 keys. In this video I explain how this works, and I show a wonderful example from Beethoven's 7th Symphony where he puts it all together.

my left ear hurts but its a good video and i will wath it anyway. Please fix the mono audio
real
I want to wath it too but I'm not sure how to wath
No way to fix it now, maybe next videos :)
What a baby
Be a real man listen to it with your ear next to a car stereo turned max
this video can resolv into 2 different ears.
Technically, you can also resolve to minor chords. This makes it possible to resolve in 24 keys, including minor keys.
You can resolve any chord into any other if you really want to
But some chords sound much more resolved than others
What a useless thing to say
True. The only question is whether you want to resolve smoothly or not.
Everything’s in 4/4 and 69 bpm if you don’t count it like a NERD
@@flewawayandaway4763 It's not useless, lots of people are used to thinking only in European harmonic standards to understand that what the commenter said is true. It's something more people need to be made aware of.
"My dear boy, the startling effects which many credit to the natural genius of the composer, are often achieved with the greatest ease by the use and resolution of the diminished seventh chords." - Beethoven, reported by Karl Friederich Hirsch.
Great work Sam! Keep doing it.
You can do basically the same thing with any whole-tone scalar chord. Always a way to go musically where you need.
I'm confident this video, and your channel, will blow up!
Wow! After your explanation, I suddenly feel like I can appreciate the music in a way I couldn't before. I'm going to go listen to Beethoven's 7th symphony just to see if I can piece together some more of these clever tricks being used.
This is so well explained in a detailed and concise manner. Hope this channel boosts in popularity, this video alone has really appealing editing effects. I like to add how this pretty much explains why the composer Liszt uses this chord at least once in nearly all his pieces.
love the cat in the background❤😺
Thank you! This was great :-) particularly appreciate the classical music examples
Wonderful video. In fact, in one of my compositions, I utilized the different paths branching from one same diminished 7th chord to represent important plot twists (by entering a new key representing the interference of a specific character of the story). Each time this phrase appears, you know a big moment would follow.
Also, to pay tribute to you, I would name them "the colorful cat method", "the black cat method" and "the catless method"
This is such a great video- I'm baffled that you have so few subscribers, because its all explained so easily and actually serves a purpose in composition and chord progression (I'm definitely gonna use it in one of mine 😂)
And keep going with the videos, I'm sure they will pick up very soon and it will be worth it👍
@@willlaw8397 Thank you so much! Really appreciate it
Love your video, very helpful and good explained! 🎉🎉
Its funny how he is trying to remember Jacob Colliers name
I thought so too lmao
I think he was making a joke!
@@justintroyka8855 i think it was
Great video! Defo deserves more views :)
and if you play the chord really fast from bottom to top you get a metal gear alert sound
Great video!
Great video! I already knew the diminished 7th chord was versatile, but it's great to see every possible resolution to the tonic one after the other. I have a different audio complaint from everyone else: the "ding" sound effect when you resolve to the tonic is the same note every time, which interferes with the tonic chord being heard at the same time.
Well put. Makes me think about the four resolutions of the dominant chord: perfect V7 - I (or im), tritone substitution bII7 - I, deceptive but in the new key bVII7 - I, and minor deceptive in the new key III7 - I. Diminished chords are like the Swiss Army knife of chords.
This is gold. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
That was really good
Great video.
You gotta fix the audio dawg, its in so many of your videos. How have you not noticed it
That's fascinating!
I really enjoyed the 2 videos of yours I've watched tonight. I do feel though that the second 2 groups need a bridging chord, whereas the first group can go directly. However to contradict myself I'll mention an Elton John song which came to mind. It uses method 3 to change between 2 keys directly with no bridging chord. The chorus is in Db, as is the intro, but the verse in Bb. The intro sounds like it's going to resolve from Ab to Db but instead hits a diminished chord, I'll call it E dim7 (E might not be the best name choice). This is also the first chord of the verse, which then resolves into Bb/F, an inversion of the 1 chord. Lots of inversions in this song. The song is 'Someone's Final Song', I always loved how it did this trick. Really enjoyed the Beethoven segment, sounds like he was having fun with the concept.
Great video
Love this!
Really excellent video, thanks so much for posting! Very clear and interesting explanation, really nice to have those musical demonstrations both on the piano and with the clips from recordings with the score on screen - really appreciate that extra effort. Your video got me walking over to the piano to try things out, which is always a great sign! I've liked and subscribed and I'm looking forward to future uploads. PS are you familiar with the "en blanc et noir" channel? Music theory explored in detail, I'd highly recommend if you haven't come across it.
Very very good!!
I’m pretty deaf in my left ear, so couldn’t hear anything said.
I think your post here is very interesting although a bit confusing, speaking as a theory nerd. The reason I’m having difficulty is because you begin by talking about the basics of diminished chords and how they can resolve. I talk about this as a matter of having two sets of tritones that each can resolve to two different keys. It’s also easy to think about this by considering that each tone of the dim7 chord can act as the leading tone to its own key. So I’m totally with you there. However after this (your part 1) you simply begin changing notes and so you are no longer actually dealing with the dim7 chords at those points. For the latter parts of your lecture you are actually talking about DIFFERENT chords that can resolve to the other 8 keys. Also, the idea that relabeling your minor 3rds as aug2 seems to be completely pointless to me unless I’m just really missing the point. Do you get what I’m saying ?
I'm a little confused about your scale analogy. How do you get the scale's notes after choosing your aug 2nd? It sounds like you are getting the 3rd mode of harmonic minor (Major Augmented) as your result scale but how did this come to be?
How has this got so little popularity??? This is insane!!!
because each person only gives half a view, as only their left ear watches the video
@@grayanddevpdx that is some insane logic, but then this is the youtube algorithm we are talking about lol
I liked and subbed just for that perfect thumbnail
was very distracted by the cat but what an interesting video! Your channel will grow for sure.
4:15 Mozart uses this one in Requiem K626 Confutatis
Depending on how you approach and resolve diminished 7th, it can still cadence in a functional way to all 12 keys without intermediary chords
The third resolution is pretty similar to a german augmented 6th chord resolution, I hear it as basically the same thing.
I have no idea what you're talking about, but it's a cool concept
I' like the really weird chord resolutions that produce an unstable musical atmosphere. Prokofiev did that frequently. Lt Kije suite has it, but my favourites are in Symphony No. 5
Sweet! I bet you can do the same with augmented chords…
Great video, but I suggest making sure the audio is panned properly so it isn't just coming out of my left headphone/speaker - it's a bit annoying.
And not just a little bit
This is a great video, but I can only hear your voice in my left ear. Other sounds seem to be going through both channels?
Atreyu
I love that band
So good
Chefs kiss
Okay here’s the thing, if you allow your self to play accidentals in a key signature, then you can play any chord in existence within that key signature, if that’s that case than the vice versa is also true, meaning you can resolve to any key from any chord even if it doesn’t naturally exist in that key. But you say this is “*The*chord that can resolve to any key” making it sound like it is unique in this regard, when in actuality you can play literally any cluster of notes and resolve it to any key. Charles Cornell made a video talking about this called “Proof there no wrong notes in music” th-cam.com/video/BW2gfSxJAY8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vTocq3v7qd4yqoxh.
Genius!!!!!!
Good video, very informative. But as others have criticized before, the left ear audio problem is pretty annoying
You can get anything you want if you use tritones.
The Swiss Army Chord
You have great videos, but music isn’t just about chords. I’d love for you to talk about utilizing them in a form, or approaching motivic development.
I only had my right airpod in, i thought i was losing it 😅
I really don’t understand all this. I don’t have a music education. Well I’ll listen to anything that helps me understand Beethoven better. ❤❤❤LVB
how about you start with the basics
I thought my earphones are broken😅
Well the answer is all chords if you're confident enough
if you want to fix mono audio wear you headset left side on your forehead and put it on full volume
5:15
2:15
so
Please fix the audio
It's hard to focus ( ¡_¡)
The first one is the Barry Harris method
can you reupload the video but in a way that will be possible to listen to? It desperately needs the audio to be fixed, especially when MUSIC, SOUND is the topic that one needs to focus on here, so need to use headphones and not a shitty phone speaker. I managed to bear about a minute and there is just no way with my left ear being assaulted and right ear being desolated it causes anxiety
Great video! In my theory class we've been analyzing these different sorts of resolutions as vii°7, ♯vi°7, and ♯ii°7, respectively, and we refer to the latter two as "common-tone" diminished sevenths, since they share a common tone with the chord they resolve to.

KITTY !! 2:12
The cat has three colors and four feet ...
why is his voice hard panned to the left
if on windowes change your computer to be all mono audio
ik but why’s it that way in the first place
My left ear does not enjoy, but good vid
Diminished chord resolution completionist 100% any key speedrun time to beat: 10:06
This is killing my ear😢
What do you mean 'all 12 keys'? There are 30 keys in music... What about the other 18 then?
wait are there
There are 24 keys what you talking about 😂
And 12 major + 12 minor = 24, so the title is correct
It's not about actual content of the video... But how can you struggle to remember guy's name, and then show part of his video back to back?
Why not just check his name BEFORE you record first part, and show some respect? This is not a stream after all, you have control over order in which you record parts of your work.
He was making a joke!
@@justintroyka8855 no
The 2nd and 3rd methods use intermediate chords... so it doesn't resolve directly. Am I missing something?
If not this officially counts as clickbait.
Otherwise pretty pleasant video
well you can think of the second in the same way as a backdoor progression, you'll have to lead it well tho. no idea about the third tho.
Un watchable
Any chord can resolve to any key... this isn't new...
