PDF of chord charts and video summary:   / 100075235  

This is a long one! In this video I break down the chords of the song "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" on piano. We discuss the chord inversions and voicings on piano, and then we dive into the chord analysis of the song. All of the chords in the song are diatonic except one chord in the bridge, so we figure out where that non-diatonic chord is coming from! In doing so, we analyze the natural and harmonic minor scales as well as a new type of secondary dominant (V/iii)! This is not a video for total beginners, so if you're new to music theory, I'd recommend reviewing these videos and topics first:

At this time, the PDF is only available to Patreon supporters. Maybe in the future I will make it available for free or on a different website, which is why I don't specify the website in my video and just refer to it as a "link". This gives me flexibility for the future since I cannot edit my video later down the road once I've already posted it to YouTube. My Patreon supporters make it possible for me to make these videos on YouTube, and I like to thank them by providing them with bonus materials. If you like what I do, you can support me as well on Patreon for $5/month. Music is how I make my living, and I can't tell you what a big difference their support makes.
