A tuneful guide to hearing and naming viiº7 chords.

Trivia: There are parts of two famous (and related) melodies quoted in the opening measures. Can you name them?

Also, for those who care, and haven't already figured it out from my other videos, I use solfege as a language to describe notes as they relate to each other. Specifically, I use moveable do with do based minor. This is particularly valuable when discussing harmony, since specific chords will be "spelled" the same way in any key.
