Music Harmony Lessons - Extended Chords Made Clear - Music Theory

Always wondered what we mean by the term extended chords? Want to use extended chords but not sure how to? Are you a composer who can use chords but want your chords to be more interesting and more colourful? Want to be able to use extended chords at the keyboard? Enrich your harmony and music writing, learn how to build 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th chords. In every major and minor key it is possible to form a chord on each degree of the scale by adding a 3rd and a 5th above each root note. But what happens when we go further, when we extend the chord? By adding to those basic chords a 7th, 9th, 11th, or 13th we can enrich the chords and open up a whole new dimension of harmonic colour. Extended chords have been used and developed ever since the Baroque period. In this music theory lesson you can learn more about them and more about how to use them. 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg?sub_confirmation=1 🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕 Merch store: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/store 🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to extended chords 0:18 - Working out the basic chords 2:27 - Creating 7th chords 4:20 - Creating 9th chords 4:56 - Creating 11th chords 5:33 - Creating 13th chords 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
