Using Modal Chords for Deceptive Cadences | Quick Theory

In this video, we learn how to use Modal chords to expand your options for deceptive cadences.

Deceptive cadences are some of the simplest and most effective strategies for maintaining energy and momentum in your chord progressions. In this video, we'll discuss four useful modal chords that you can use to bring a little more chromatic color and momentum to your next chord progression!

I find it a mystery that a video this helpful only has 2, 1K views a year after releasing its video…

Great content man! Keep on pushing🙏🏼

2:05 All of these notes are ALSO diatonic to C Minor, though, so you'd have to add an A to let the lister know that you're borrowing from C Dorian.

Thanks a lot ! it feels ... logic I guess :P But those chords seem pretty unusable as pivot chords for modulations outside of a really jazzy style. However, as a pure function of deceptive cadence with a sense of "unresolvness" (not english, I don't even know if this word even exists lmao), it feels really useful ! By that I mean that after the cadence, you stay in C major :) In an orchestral context I guess I could still use them as pivot for key modulations but I feel like I need to prepare the modulations a bit more (I say this because typically, the dorian chord directly put behind a V7 chords without preparation feels too harsh to me even tho this chord is fabulous, two alterations with the 3rd in it is quite aggressive to the ear). Did you make (or plan on doing) a video about the use of these modal chords for modulation preparation in, let's say, a periodic form ?

Can these modal cadences be used to modulate to a new tonic (feels like no because we don't resolve leading tone to a tonic, but at the same time ear is ok to stay in Db major after a deceptive resolution to this chord)? Or is it better to stay in the original key?
Thank you.
