Your videos are always clear and informative.
A few things confuse me a little bit.
When spelling out a (triad) chord, in root position, I would say Root, Third and Fifth. So logically, I would have thought it should be named a 3-5 chord, but you say 5-3. The same with a 3-6 and 4-6 chords.
Also it would appear that in the Figured Bass system, the top two notes can be in any order, so a C major chord in root position could be C-E-F or C-F-E. confusing!

I-ve known about how to read and understand this concept, but while watching this I thought of something I hadn-t before. In your example you used Diatonic chords. But what if you want to play a chromatic chord, like minor iv? Would you use the same figured bass as the Diatonic chord but with a flat symbol in front the number that the third of the chord note would go? And at that, would you not be able to abbreviate in root position so you can add a flat the 3? Thanks.

Could you do a video on various descending and ascending suspensions? I can't find much information on ascending ones, but I think they are used pretty often in baroque music. Or maybe they are just ascending episodes, but I guess they use well known chord progressions or basslines as well.

What is the difference between a chord that is -figuration- compared to a broken chord or arpeggio? When you take the figure bass abbreviation and convert the chord into -figuration- how is this different than an arpeggio or broken chord?

My brain melted. - However i play a lot of baroque tunes as a woodwind and i finally understand why all those numbers are there in the bass line! Thanks. (I really should learn more about chords)

Thanks for making this very helpful video.
This is an important detail that I always wanted to know more about when it came to playing figured bass . Especially for Baroque Music.
