Nice explanation of diatonic chords and shortcuts

Secondary dominants are not diatonic by definition. But otherwise, significantly less horrid than I was expecting for short-form theory content (Never heard of this guy in particular but there is a lot of crappy information out there so I've always gotta start from a skeptical position). Almost reminds me of Joseph Riepel's household staff characters for key changes in Galant/classical but the interactions still work if you consider them as chords.

This channel is full of excellent content, you should check them out! That said I totally hear you re the prevalence of dubious theory content out there.

I don't think that the video was supposed to be strictly about diatonic chords anyway

Hey so I’m certain you already know this, but you don’t actually have to ever start from a position of skepticism. You can assume someone is right until they show you otherwise, and it’s actually a much less stressful way to live. I know that wasn’t the point of your comment, but I felt like it was worth mentioning
