Secondary Dominant chords

The visual effects are perfect. This is the best video I've seen that makes this complex concept easy to understand. Thanks a million.

So well explained, even a guitar player can follow it.

Even when I think I understand a topic I always learn something. Great lesson.

Really good video. Covered so much in a clear and untedious way with real writing applications and not just theory. Thanks for making this

Well that was a perfect explanation in my book. Thx for finally making me understand secondary dominant chords.

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!

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!

Underrated video. Amazing!

You are such an excellent teacher. Thank God you started this online teaching life.

11:30 😊 I like these interludes. Just little things to take away and pkay with

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!

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!!!

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!

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.

Idk how you don’t have a million followers man… you make some of the best music analysis videos out there

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.

This is the first time someone has explained secondary dominant chords and I feel like I fully grasp it now. Thank you so much for this!

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!!!

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 was stuck, but after watching your videos, it made me feel dumb. Thank you, Michael, for the good explanations and knowledge!
