hope you guys enjoy this video on diminished chords and harmony! this is a bit of a new format for this channel in the sense that i've laid off the usual bells and whistles of my editing and instead opted for a more "slideshow presentation" kind of style. i'm still experimenting with different editing styles so let me know in the comments if this works better or worse than my other, more graphically intense editing style.

one educational resource i really recommend if you want to get more of a hang on jazz theory is The Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine

some of these links will earn me an affiliate commission, however, this does not at all effect my recommendation of these products, as I personally use every single one of these products on a daily basis!
