@stephmagicjazz I've learned that the double dominant is the same as an Augmented 6 chord. @3:00 why do you call that an E7 chord instead of a Bb aug6 chord which I am thinking would be correct since an aug6 chord is built on the flat 6 scale degree of the now tonicized D min chord.

@disnukka79 The double dominant is the dominant of the dominant. In C this is D7, since D7 is dominant to G7 which is dominant to C. Also D7 has tritone relationship with Ab7.

@stephmagicjazz so you are using 2-5-1 progression to harmonize the melody by working backwards and using the 2 from the succeeding progression as the new tonic to set up a new 2-5-1 that precedes the previous 2-5-1

@disnukka79 Thats the point. Application to a tune: Pick a point in the middle of the tune an apply the technique. Listen to how it sounds.

this is awesome! thank you very much for your sharing n teaching

[disnukka79]

What do you mean by double dominate?

[disnukka79]

Isnt this type of sequential 2-5-1 progressions a form of modulation? Temporary modulation? The funny thing is that you end up back at the same tonic as you started. What if the 2 notes you started with we're different notes instead of 2 Cs
