I just found this, but better late than never, and it'll still be here next July, when we really need it. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm4LO22-cyY

I see a lot of this coming during the next season.

Thanks....putting one or two in my song ASAP.

Ahahahahaaa, the devils chord is the christmas secret!

Yea, but music theory is lame, you don't need to know this stuff to be successful.

The guy in the video makes a slight error when he says "moving from a dominant chord to this juicy, tasty, spicy blah, blah blah...". It was an F major chord, not an F dominant: dominant would have had an Eb in it. Most likely is was actually an Fmaj7.

Short version: The magic chord is the wonderful minor four chord.

In C this would be F minor (F-Ab-C). The video version included D, making it a iv6 (minor four with the 6th added: F-Ab-C-D). If the bass plays the D like the piano player did in the video, it would then be a half-diminished ii7 chord (D-F-Ab-C).

Roman Numeral Notation Note: Major chords are written in capital letters, minor chords in lower case. So playing triads up the C major scale (C being the 1 or I chord) would result in the following chords: I-ii-iii-IV-V-vi-vii-I.

I love music theory.

Yeah, it's really just a type of sub for the F Major chord isn't it? F = F-A-C (IV in C) and Dm = D-F-A-C (ii in C), the only other difference being the diminished 5th. (Am7 and Em7 can sub for Cmaj7; Dm7 can sub for Fmaj7; Bm7-5 can sub for Gdom7, because of commontone relationships.)
