Hi Maestro,
I recently took a course from musicmatters
I am actually studying - BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY - from Queen.
I believe the key signature is Bb major ( 2 flats )
I would like to understand the chord C-Eb-F-A ( C, E-flat , F , A ) in the Bb major signature ( All B and E are flats already , but the composer puts a -b- flat before the E , in the chord C-Eb-F-A, while being in a Bb major signature )
so that means I should read/ play it
C-Ebb-F-A ( C,E double flat, F , A ) ???
if Yes, what type of Chord is C-Ebb-F-A???
if No, how should I read/ play the chord C-Eb-F-A: what bothers me is the -b- flat before the E, while being in a Bb major, having all E's - flats-
Sorry for my poor - explanation-,
Thank you ,Sir

Funny thing, I already knew what major, minor, and diminished chords were, but I didn't know what an augmented chord was. -Augmented with what?- I thought. I feel a bit silly now that I've learned how the augmented chord is like a cousin of the diminished chord. I'm glad I already know what suspended chords are. Thanks a million! :D

I'm trying to learn music theory, and I keep coming back to your videos. Every time I want something explained clearly and concisely, your videos are the absolute best I can find. Thank you so much for the videos.

great lesson about chords ,i'd like to ask if there is any rules to erect chords (open position,close ,....) i have an issue erecting chords especially 7th chords with their inversions.
THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEO

You take complicated subjects and explain them in such an elementary way it leaves me wondering how i never got it before! Thank you so much for taking the time to put these videos together!

yes, but i find it's harder to identify chords that are inverted.
in root position, it's easy to tell the chord.
is there any trick to quickly identify inverted chords?

had to refresh me old brain cells on this today as I totally forgot how to work them out hahahah.. thank you mr Green yet again for saving my grey hairs coming through

Thanks Dan from a self taught platy by ear musician who has finally decided to try and understand a little of what I play, - VERY helpful! Warm regards, from Gus

I wonder what makes these particular semitone intervals so special that they become a -chord-? Why not, for example, 1,4, 6 semitone interval is not a chord?
reply

so if i want an augmented chord i raise the 5th. if i was a diminished i lower the 3rd and 5th, if i want a minor i lower the 3rd?? all by semitones..
