Hmmm. So watching this and Neapolitan back to back, they're both modulating to the bII chord. If it's not in your side panel you might want to find that now.
Neapolitan uses inverted bII functioning as the new inverted I
German 6th uses bVI 7 functioning as the new V 7
I come from a somewhat patchy background and fakebooks, so I don't believe in augmented 6th intervals exactly, but that's just a point of view. X-D

Hi sir thats a wonderful technique for modulation and i think i heard lots of song ending using that exact technique to add colours for the final cadence. But i still don't understand how we got that F# notes after A#, the augmented 6th of C. at 2:14 .

What are the common progressions used with the German 6, Italian 6, French 6 aug chords? I think you said Aug6 - I - V - I ? The main point is to convert the German 6 aug chord into a Dominant 7th chord in another key by Enharmonically Changing one note?

Well explained! I think this is a overly complicated concept, though (not by you but in the classical tradition). I like the jazz way better - it's simply a tritone substitution for a dominant chord, most commonly for a V of V... -

Do you have to restate the chord and enharmonically rename the note in order to modulate, or can you state the chord just the one time written as an augmented sixth then go straight to the new key, as it sounds equivalent?

Thank you so much! That is very useful. It seems such a modulation will always land one on the key of the neapolitan 2nd of the original key? Nice sonic change. Not as predictable. Thank you again.

I laughed out loud on your comment, -We'll get there sometime this side of Christmas.- Another wonderfully clear explanation of something I didn't know existed. Thank you!

Well, once there is the presence of an F# or Gb it is inevitable the gravity of that tone wanting to resolve so to me the German 6 is a dominant in essence, not?

The augmented 6 chords are pre-cadential chords used as the most unstable of the Subdominant group that proceed the dominant or K6/4

I don-t understand why you would transpose to the relative minor key as it-s the same as the root key? But great video thank you
