Making music with 7th chord chains and advanced chord progressions in any style, from baroque to cocktail piano. The chain of 7ths has been used by composers since the Baroque period as a means of providing a rich sequence of 7th chords that works in any tonal style. There are many ways to present it musically but the underlying principle of the bass moving a 5th in one direction then a 4th in the other, using 7th chords built on each note is musically incredibly satisfying. It also presents myriads of options for modulation. If you-re a performer, a composer, or someone who wants to understand musical devices better, this is for you! to the 7th chord chain 1:24 - Organising the progression of chords 2:48 - Baroque style uses 3:21 - Cocktail piano style uses 4:04 - Moving to another key

Great video! You are amazing. I have a question. What were you doing around 3:00 minutes for the baroque style? The left hand goes down by how much each time? What is the interval? And what exactly is the right hand doing it it doing an arpeggio of the chords in the order of the chord chain? Also do you have a Music Matters Music theory book? I was trying to see if I could get a book. Thank you!

The sequence of 7ths I thought was chaining a bunch of secondary dominant chords. Because in the baroque period they often chain a lot of different secondary dominant chords which I'm not sure why they do this but they will V/vi, V/V, V/IV/, V/iii, V/ii, and finish in another key or end in the original key.

Pleasant day sir, I'm doing a certificate in music, but I'm having difficulty with rhythmic dictation, I can't seem to identify the notes in time when I'm listening, is there an easy method to overcome this hurdle PL, thank you

Are you about to make a video about Secondary Chord Functions? and Borrowed Chords?
We are to compose a Hymn using Secondary Functions and Borrowed Chords in class. So I wonder how they can be used in chorale efficiently.

Maestro: you are a gentlemen and a scholar. Please inform if you have the actual playing of the 7th progression written down. If you do, please inform me. I am willing and happy to pay for it. Respects and gratitude, R

Hello: when you are playing the first C Major Seventh Chord (CEGB) are you one octave (8 Notes) down from Middle C on the Piano or are you two (2) octaves from Middle C. Please inform. Thank you, R

When you mention the e in f7, that would be and f major 7th. That would make sense, since it is the subdominant, but are the chords in the chain generally dominant 7ths?
reply

you'd get the same progression if you kept going up by 4ths. also shouldn't these be Dominant 7ths not major 7ths ( I mean you can have both )
reply

do you mean those C7, B7, F7 , and so on are dominants 7th of each Major/minor scale ??
for example : do G7 mean dominant 7th of C ??

reply

I-m a beginner-In the beginning of this video, you say, -C7 chord-, which is the dominant 7th, should I assume that you mean play CM7th!!!
