Amazing lecture as always Dr. B.

You blew my mind, especially with the augmented sixth/Major-Minor sevent part of the video.
I've often felt that it only made in sense to my ears to modulate via a major-minor sevent to I chord of that major-minor sevent chord. Never thought about using it, reinterpreted as a Ger+6 chord, to go elsewhere.

But after I heard your example with Ger+6 chord, I recollected all the times I've heard the use of the Ger+6 chord in Beethoven, Mozart etc, and realized that THAT'S how they made it sound so good. And it opens up so many possibilites for me, knowing that.

I'm going to be working on composing something using the Ger+6 chord, because I really love the sound of it, so dramatic.

Thank you so much for all your lectures, and can't wait until your next upload. :)
