I wanted this video to be almost like a glossary of the different kinds of secondary dominants that you can use in a major key. Each chord in a major key gives a slightly different feeling when you approach it with its secondary dominant chord and I found tons of video game examples for each of these types of harmonic movements. Enjoy!

3:14 - SD to the ii chord
7:52 - SD to the iii chord
