You put so much value in a 24 minutes video. You are an awesome person. A lot you have exposed that many really need to know. It is a luck to get this video watched for me. Thank you

5:51) I'm a real cracker jack on the guitar when it comes to the cycle of keys. This is absolute gold. I especially like the first two progressions. At least you're getting my views. I'll remember to click the like button and recommend your channel to others. Jens Larsen asked if there were any other YouTubers that we could recommend on his channel in the comments section. When I get the time, I'll give you a mention. Your channel is very intuitive.

Don’t forget the Flatted 2 Major7 borrowed from Phrygian. Get’s me everytime

Very interesting .. flat 3, flat 6, flat 7 reminds me of progressions in many rock pop songs of the 70's.

Oh my god! This was so helpful! I now get all these terms that I've heard before!

I've been thinking about borrowed chords recently, but I never went out of my way to look it up for some reason. It's like someone or something guided me to this video. Thanks for sharing! What does the (dor) mean below the ♭VII? Does that mean it's in Dorian mode? Also, what is the I 6 above 4, IV6, and V6 mean? I've been seeing that recently on Hooktheory, and it's nothing I've ever come across when I was learning the piano.

Why does approaching flat VII from those four chords avoid harmonic ambiguity?
