All the Scary Chords & Progressions You Should Know (Steal This Dark Sound)
Learn how to form chords using the dissonant intervals that theory offers and compose some spooky, eerie, and scary music. Using the tension intervals - Minor 2nd, Tritone, Major 6th & Major 7th, we build a variety of chords using some unique musical concepts - Chromatic Clusters, Traditional Spooky Chords, Slash Minor Chords, Minor Triads with Floating Bass, Vicinity Thirds & Extensions. We then form chord progressions using these concepts using Geometrical Circle of Fifths & Disconnected Plagal Cadences. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:20 - About the Lesson 00:55 - Why you might find this lesson useful 03:34 - Dissonant Intervals 04:08 - Tritone 05:38 - Major 7th 06:14 - How to make Dissonances sound beautiful 08:13 - Minor 6th Interval 10:09 - Scary Triads 10:29 - Chromatic Cluster 12:12 - Chords involving the Dissonances 14:36 - Traditional Spooky Chords 16:40 - Slash Minor Chords 17:41 - Static Minor Triad with Floating Bass 𝄢 18:43 - Vicinity Thirds with the Minor Chord 21:29 - Minor Triad Extensions 22:58 - Diminished Extensions 25:09 - Slash Chords 32:57 - Disconnected Plagal Cadences 34:29 - Conclusion 35:10 - Final Tip for enjoying music more! ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #ScaryChords #DarkChords #MusicTheory
