Borrowed Chords - Music Theory Lesson

This is a short theory video based on a question I got from a viewer. Let me know if you have any questions about this video and how borrowed chords are used!

[setoelkahfi]

So far, this is the best explanation about borrowed chords on YouTube

[vfxturjo]

You're awesome!
Its not just another tutorial video

The background music you add, and follow, makes this video an 'art'

Very visual tutorial, funny humor, and right to it. Amazing video!! Going to check out the rest of your stuff

[gassug]

note that you don't have to borrow from just minor. if you know your modes, you can borrow chords from those modes. (i.e, borrowing the major II from lydian, the flat 2 from phrygian, or adding in the flat 5 from locrian for some tritone-y goodness). additionally, you can borrow when you're in any mode, not just major

I kinda knew everything already, but it was so very onpoint and objective I really wished I had learned through this video.

[chenghuateo]

[LaymensLament]

alright, you solved even another one of my mysteries. are you a music teacher? because you really should be a music teacher. watching 20 minutes of your videos taught me so much and in so little time...

Very clear communication, I watched it once now I know what borrowed chords are. On the production side I would suggest losing the waterfall. It's just clutter and it distracts — the visual equivalent of someone playing a flute solo just loud enough to be noticed while someone is trying to sing!

Great info. Thanks Ian. Well done. Once again tho, vii is not in the sub-dominant family. It belongs to the tonic family. I-iii-vi.

[alwaysxl]

damn this really clicked for me, thank you

[Dt]

wow so much information in just one video... thank you
can you make video on chord substitution ...

[kcs]

Good instruction. By the way, can we borrow Major chord, Ex. we are playing Cm so can we borrow a parallel C major?

[melendavillamora]

Can you please make an explanation of modal interchange and explain what kind of chord progression used in the song "stairway to heaven"? Coz I really want to learn and understand more about chord progressions.

[jefferylusk]

I like using phrygian dominant over major /dom chords and Dorian over minor chords its my own style.

[rios]

I understand the concept and everything, but does this change the key of your composition?

[TheMegadeth]

Keep these up! You teach well 🔥👍 Quick question, can we borrow chords if we are in the minor scale from the relative major?
