Secondary Motion with Altered Chord: Advanced Music Theory

Hey! I am Mark Black and wlcome to expertvillage.com and we are going to be talking about advanced theory in song writing. So we take the progression... that was a full sound, but that was all normative. For example to spell it out when you are in the key of D bass B minor, part of the chord, A bass, E minor, E bass of G, and then an A, that is all normative. Now we want to put in a secondary dominant, something to drive us. So I just do the same thing… and I get ... there is something that chord is driving me to the, you hear that, that chord makes me want to go _______, that is secondary motion and in this case it is a 5 of 6 B minor 6th chord in the key of D and that is a 5 of it.
