At this time, the PDF is only available to Patreon supporters. Maybe in the future I will make it available for free or on a different website, which is why I don't specify the website in my video and just refer to it as a "link". This gives me flexibility for the future since I cannot edit my video later down the road once I've already posted it to YouTube. My Patreon supporters make it possible for me to make these videos on YouTube, and I like to thank them by providing them with bonus materials. If you like what I do, you can support me as well on Patreon for $5/month. Music is how I make my living, and I can't tell you what a big difference their support makes.

For the first time in my life, after years of doodling about on my old guitar, I finally understand what secondary dominants are, Gracie. Thank you so much. You are a treasure house of music theory that even this philistine can understand.

Gracie is prepping us for her Jazz Theory master class, and I'm here for it!

[mdiaper]

It’s like a veil of fog has been lifted from my eyes. You make theory so interesting and understandable. Thank you. Have a great Christmas Gracie.

Hi Gracie, loved this viseo, do you perhaps have a video on secondary leading tones? My gr 6 music theory exam is within a month

[MazRixx]

Excellent teacher….. excellent instructions. Thank you Gracie

[zizzinpuss]

I've been listening to your album, it's damned good:)

I love this! TY, Gracie! If I had you in school as my music teacher I wouldn't have hated music. 😆

[jamesgordon]

Merry Christmas and/or Happy cHanukkah.

Whatever you do, don't look at the description box. This chick is the Queen Of Rabbitholes. Every video links 2 more, which links 3 more. Pretty soon, you're old.

Great teaching! I am a fairly new student. So, pardon my question. If you say, ii V I chords, are you saying that they are played in that particular order? Or you just saying the chords that are involved and not necessarily the order in which they are played?

[coolnout]

Thank you for all the great work you do for us.

[robfairbrother]

So I guess an easy way to remember this is make the 2 in a ii-V-I chord progression major (in the key you are playing in) so it becomes II-V-I? Cool! I can remember that 😊. And I can do that on the fly rather quick since I am currently practicing this chord progression in all keys. Thanks Gracie for making what would normally be a complicated subject simple. I don’t think I would have realized this without watching your video. At least not as soon as I did. Really love your videos and the way you make theory interesting and easy to understand.

[FrancescoDiMauro]

Really nice video! I've just realized that the dominant of the dominant is a whole step above the root (C --> D7, G --> A7, ...), seems an easy trick to find them quickly :)

[XaibanAdamantay]

youre the best gracie! as an up and coming musician, i've learned the majority of my theory which I've been applying to guitar, handpan, and shakuhachi from you :)

[terrybeaud]

FASCINATING !!! :))
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Gracie !! :))
