Hey Jermaine I really liked your last two vids, especially the key finding one. I was on point with u the whole time. Thanks for all the help. But on another know, i’m just making a little enquiry as to what’s going on for the 100,000 member drive contest. Have ya’ll forgotten about the persons involved in it because there hasn’t been any announcements or issuing of prizes and the contest has been over for months now. Thanks for a reply.

Jermaine,
Very helpful…loved the minor key litmus test. You did a great job reinforcing the point with numerous examples. And the price was very reasonable! Thank you!

I didn’t think finding the key was so easy - I’ve been avoiding putting my mind to it - but going through your ‘Finding the Key’ video, I’ve realised that I can trust my ear on this!
Thanks so much Jermaine.

Hey Jermaine,
what a great lesson! I study music at school, but unfortunately we do little to none practical work this year. They say we need more theoretical knowledge first..
so this lesson is right up my alley now. The minor chord trick is very cool! Really great if you ask me :)
I like bands and artists that are musically-complex (mostly progressive) with many key changes and stuff like that, so this lesson is going to be really helpful !
Another thing I wanted to point out.. I find it very inspiring to see how fun , relaxed, and cool you looked in this video, looks like you really enjoyed making it! That’s great!
Thank you for a good lesson1

Hi. Great site, but I think you are confusing the “common tone” and the “tonic”.
Think about this way, a tonic (I) chord is made up of scale degrees 1,3 & 5, a dominant (V) chord is made up of scale degrees 5,7 & 2. The pitch that is common to both chords is scale degree 5, not scale degree 1. Scale degree 5 is the common tone, but it’s not the tonic, but it leads you directly to the tonic because it’s the dominant.
In the first example,(Lord I Lift Your Name on High) Ab is the dominant/sol/V, Db is the tonic/Do/I. That’s why you hear the Ab the whole time, scale degree 5 is in the tonic chord and the dominant chord. Correct?
