Hi Everyone!

If you're reading this, it means I'm on the road headed for Michigan, where I'll be hanging out for a few weeks. I filmed a handful of these MTM lessons (and others) to make sure I have some good stuff for you to practice and think about while I'm on the five day journey. I'm also bringing gear to film lessons while I'm out there, so you may see a change of scenery in a few upcoming videos.

I had intended to release a lesson about Mixolydian Mode today, but I think this lesson will be awesome to watch beforehand. It may clear up some confusion about how dominant 7 chord can function AND give you some fun things to play around with before next weeks MTM kind of throws a wrench in the whole concept of Dominant 7 chords. 

As always, thanks so much for being here and I hope you learn a lot while you're here.

In case I didn't mention this in the lesson, feel free to play around with some dom7 chord progressions and post them on the community forum post!

In this video you mention another video that talks about chord progressions, which one is it ? I cant find it...

Scott Paul Johnson

Hi Magela - Pretty much all the Music Theory Monday lessons up to this point are all about chords that fit in a key together. Grabbing a few of those chords-in-a-key and playing them with a strumming pattern results in a chord progression! It's possible I wasn't clear enough about that in these lessons, so feel free to ask more questions and I'll do my best to clear them up! OR, find my latest Office Hours post and ask some questions there. There are no dumb questions here! https://www.patreon.com/posts/office-hours-58-56817751

In minor triads practice 2 one line of the progression is E F Dm Dm. Here the E (v of vi) doesn't resolve to vi, nor is the F a secondary dominant. So the secondary dominant doesn't always have to resolve to what its the V of?

Scott Paul Johnson

Correct! V of vi is kind of its origin story, but we don't have to use it that way anymore. Music theory is a lot more of history of origin stories than a set of rules.
