Secondary Motion: Advanced Music Theory & Songwriting
Hey! I am Mark Black and welcome to expertvillage.com and we are going to be talking about advanced theory in song writing. It is my D 7… there he pushes me to G and then in return, gets me back to C. So for example James Taylor, which I met him earlier, he would have a lot of songs that would have secondary dominance and on a guitar he might have a song, it would go... so far it is just normative. For example he might be going to a B minor chord and to set up that B minor chord, he might go... so that F sharp is the 5 of B minor, the 5th note of the B minor scale and that pushes us to that B minor chord. So he might have a song that... let us try that again… that chord has an A sharp which is not in the key of D; that is the secondary motion chords, pushing us towards up chord that is not the one chord, that is called secondary motion. Tons of songs that we hear now would use those, but also you can hear that in Dixieland, ragtime, songs written in the turn of the century, previous century.
