This sub seems like Narnia where you only find it if you are meant to.
What the fuck.
But also, what are your favorite extended iv chords?
Edit: fixed the spelling of iv

Just started a 2nd teaching gig
Starting to get used to a shared space with other music teachers, my main gig is elementary schools. So I'm always prompting the minor iv talk

A sneaky little ♭II before iv to I△7
John Williams does this a few times in his movie themes. It’s absolutely gut wrenching gorgeous and it makes the minor iv also feel like ♭II△7 which feels even darker than minor iv! He’ll also do this over a V pedal so in C it’s D♭/G Fm/G C△7. 😭😭😭😭😭

What's everyone's opinion on this?
Chords that sound like a minor 4/do a similar job as a minor 4 but aren't
For example a bVII 7th chord gives a similar feel to a minor 4 due to the added 7th
And turning a minor 3 into a major which also gives a similar feel
Obviously it isn't exactly the same as a minor 4 but it still sounds really cool in a similar way imo

how do yall feel about mixolydian b6
AKA Aeolian dominant, Melodic Major, whatever. I like it, but the most interesting part isn't iv, but bVI+. just me?
