Simple, concise, accurate. Once I got past the raw unadulterated sex appeal and charism of Anthony’s voice, I found exactly what I came here for.

After all these years, I understand it now. Thank you. Simple and clear lesson.

[foljs]

Very logical and smooth explanation. Others explain it too, but add all kinds of extra garbage. This went straight to the point.

[RandyBakkelund]

Super easy to follow. Perfect demonstration!

[donlessnau]

Outstanding. Easily and clearly presented. Very easy to understand. Well done. Thanks a lot.

You're talking pace and your voice are so comforting. You're not racing through this explanation, and my brain can keep up. Thank you very much. BTW, probably worth mentioning that the a minor key that you are using is a harmonic minor with a raised 7th.

Can you please explain if possible, how do you know which note is dominant is a scale ? Thank you again

[ximena.morales]

Am into music composition, learning piano and using DAW to create music.... So i was looking for borrowing keys, for the ideas that i come up with while composing with using various instruments, so this Chord Modulation is the one that helps if am right?

[siyeedanderson]

Why was the b diminished chord in one of the keys established as a dominant? Also, which key was it established in?
