the saddest chord

is there a "sad" chord? I think this is the saddest chord. The saddest chord in harmony. The saddest chord in music theory. This is why I always use this chord
..MERCH and Discord 👇👇👇

I don't know about the chord but this video is the saddest attempt at entertainment and/or education I have ever encountered.

[rowan]

To me, it doesn’t sound sad, but rather, hopeful, like you‘ve been in the darkness for a very long time and you finally see a light.

WRONG ❌ the minor four makes me WEEP, Professor David!

[kostaschousianiths]

I think this might be the only Seth vid with no shenanigans in the end... it somehow does not feel complete...

[DorAntCr]

I would argue for the minor fourth, maybe even the iv6

[LauraLowe]

I like how it still cuts off early like theres a punchline but it's completely serious

[keynanmartinez]

I've watched all your videos and I still don't understand Music Theory 😔

[cdifreakguy]

I'm not even joking; the ad before this video had a I to iii chord change.

[JohnWayne-bmty]

anyone gona talk bout those time signature changes? so smooth

[EmmanuelGiouvanopoulos]

Seth failed to insert rgb alligators 🗣

[kpunkt.klaviermusik]

When the leading note suddenly decides to feel comfortable where it is.
When all hope is lost.

unironically a banger, awesome job on this one seth

Eb Minor chords always make me sad in a good way

[hey_gnatalie]

this was lovely! i really hope there's more where this came from :)

[gassug]

i always use iii64 when wanting to create a "falling" or "happiness slipping away" sound. maj7sus2 in third inversion on the I also works (e.g, Csus2/B in C major)

[alphie]

this one could actually just it's be own song if it had different lyrics

[pathos_music]

People talking about the minor 4, im about 91.63% sure he means diatonic chords only.

[johnbeuck]

My favorite so far, just because of the sad chord

[littleguy-ijjf]

any chord can be the saddest chord with the right context

[aussiekevin]

I guess someone who has never known true suffering might call that chord sad.
