Always wondered what we mean by the term extended chords? Want to use extended chords but not sure how to? Are you a composer who can use chords but want your chords to be more interesting and more colourful? Want to be able to use extended chords at the keyboard? Enrich your harmony and music writing, learn how to build 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th chords. In every major and minor key it is possible to form a chord on each degree of the scale by adding a 3rd and a 5th above each root note. But what happens when we go further, when we extend the chord? By adding to those basic chords a 7th, 9th, 11th, or 13th we can enrich the chords and open up a whole new dimension of harmonic colour. Extended chords have been used and developed ever since the Baroque period. In this music theory lesson you can learn more about them and more about how to use them. to extended chords 0:18 - Working out the basic chords 2:27 - Creating 7th chords 4:20 - Creating 9th chords 4:56 - Creating 11th chords 5:33 - Creating 13th chords

Well, that's extremely useful. You'd think it would be obvious that you could leave some notes out of a 13th chord, but that thought had never occurred to me. Not to make you blush, but that you can explain this so simply does mean you're actually a musical genius. I learn more from your short videos than I have from hours of reading music theory. Thank you!

I don't think this is correct. Extensions are built off the tonic of the chord not the key. For example he plays iii, -Emin9-, as an Emin(flat9). It should have an F# as the 9th instead of an F. A major 9th rather than a minor 9th. Extensions, unless altered, always have a major 9th, perfect 11th, and major 13th.

I hope you don't mind me asking....i have a question about secondary dominants. In the key of C, we have Bmin7b5.....some people say the secondary dominant of this chord would be F sharp7, but if the chord is diminished...wouldn't it be the secondary dominant F7 instead? Would really appreciate your input. Cheers!

Thank you very much; I found that tutorial both interesting and helpful. However, if I have understood correctly, I would point out that your commentary describes a 'sparse' V-13 consisting of the root, 3rd, 7th and 11th whilst actually fingering the root, 3rd, 7th and 13th (I think!).

this was so very helpful. I am a novice in music theory and even though I had a great start I was greatly intimidated by chord construction. Your explanation in this video helped me tremendously. Thank you for providing us with such valuable info.
