Hello all,
I’m a new member here. I’m very happy and excited to be here.
I’m working my way through the preliminary chord studies 2.
In minor tonality, we can derive the following chords from the harmonic minor scale. Let me use the key of C minor to illustrate.
C Harmonic minor scale – C D Eb F G Ab B
ii7b5 – D F Ab C
V7 – G B D F
V7b9 – G B D F Ab
But where are the notes for altered dominant chords derived from?
V7#5b9 – G B D# F Ab
IV7b5 – F A Cb Eb
In the chord studies 2 video, Richie mentions that the notes are derived from the melodic minor mode.
C Melodic minor – C D Eb F G A B
Can someone help me out here? I’m convinced that the writers of science fiction came up with the idea of parallel universes from music theory =D
Many thanks!
