Today I'm taking the timeless "Doo-wop changes" and running them through different levels of complexity, starting with just adding colour tones to the basic chords, and winding up with an incredibly jazzy chord-packed development.

I was rewatching your video on pokemon red and blueās soundtrack just yesterday, and now more pokemon! lol
Thanks for these very colourful progresions
3 is like This train don’t stop there anymore
Brilliant useful lecture. Thank you very much. š
While its nice just to have 4 powerchords in a rock song sometimes, i really miss these variations in our music.. i really dont wanna know which chord is next in a song that i havent heard before
Extra jazz is beautiful. Want it as a full song.
7:40 I love how you said “pull” there, it was honestly
preaty silly and cute . and thanks for the chords!
I was looking for this comment š

Amazing, great content šā¤
When you hesitated on that diminished chord, I was reminded of the Family Matters opening theme. And the secondary dominants reminded me of “Never Ever” by All Saints. I miss the harmonic complexity of 90s pop.
I really like how the bonus 6th level is a combination of 2-5-1s and color tones, therefore it itself is a 2-5-1.
You never cease to amaze me
Funny thing about that “50’s chord progression” that I noticed recently.
“Otherside” by Red Hot Chili Peppers uses the famous “Axis chord progression” of Am F C G. However, the melody also fits perfectly the “50’s chord progression” of C Am F G, and its quality changes completely, from a slightly moody song to a much more upbeat song. Just try it.
For that extra jazz progression I lit a cigar and ordered a whiskey. Class.
In Baroque music there is often a suspension. It might have been nice to add 7ths to some of the chords using these?
He did that at the end, didn’t he?
Great video. Best yet.
Very nice. Certainly clarified how to use secondary dominants.
Superb video. Very well explained.
Fantastic!
Amazing content thank you! Level 5 is the my kinda flavor
Iām not a piano player but as a guitarist I appreciate that I nearly always pick up something from your videos. I often go āoh, thatās why that chord works thereā. Great stuff!
Great stuff! I like #5 & #6 best.
