Solid and clear information as ever. Great stuff.
And as ever, I've got questions...
1. Is 4 part harmony the de facto when composing? I'm trying to write pieces for soloing over and just see 4 part harmony appearing more often than all others
2. Is it, erm, rude or wrong, to add or remove a voice from 4 part harmony occasionally? When I have my final cadence, sometimes I'll want a high top colour note but this adds a 5th voice, so not sure if this is bad manners or acceptable.

Thanks for posting these amazing lessons.
Why at 3:32 did you go C-then skipped up to E - then back down to G? The notes are written C-G-E. so the E is an octave above the E that would between the C and G for the C-E-G(1-3-5 chord)? Or does it not matter where on the keyboard the C-E-G are. I thought those were called inversions.
I have not watched the whole video clip so you may have explained the reasoning latter.
Thanks again. Keep posting. I'm learning a ton.

Thank you sir! Your explanation skills are great, cause you keep being curious in your explanation. I study being a music teacher and also write songs for 12 years now, mostly intuitively- so I want to use theory to expand my practical knowledge.
I can really follow your explanations in contrast to many other teachers. Progress by little steps! Just great...

Is chord 3 a dominant 7th with the 13th added ?
I thought the same as e minor 9th
I've read your replys
G major also has an f# in key sig this is why I'm wondering if it's like a dom 7th with 13th
Hope you dont mind me asking I do find naming chords confusing as they can be described in different ways
Thankyou for your helpful tutorials

This was a very enlightening video for me; when I try to analyse music I often get stuck when the notes don-t fit into the traditional major or minor set. The chords you play sound really good!
For the third chord, could you also call it an e minor chord with a lowered ninth?

Your videos are so incredibly awesome and incredible thank you! Although I just have a question about example #7 with the D major 9th chord because I-m wondering if it-s in the key of D major then wouldn-t the 7th note be a c# not a c? I-m just a bit confused on that one.

Thanks for your insightful videos! In this case it would be great to have a follow up on how these chords could be used in C-major. While for some of them I found good harmonic contexts for others I had difficulty to do the same.

I have a question. For the 3rd chord you presented, can it also be a E minor 9 ? Like an inversion if it? Newbie here. Still get confused with building bigger complex chords.
