our potential answers numeral here All right right away We
- 00:21
can see that all of our potential answers have something
- 00:23
in common They're all four chords of some kind That
- 00:26
means that all we need to do is figure out
- 00:28
if the shown cord is diminished minor major or augmented
- 00:33
out I'll salute it if it salutes back It's a
- 00:36
major know Alright what we can actually consider is the
- 00:40
key signature of d flat major And see if all
- 00:44
of the notes in the cord naturally occur in the
- 00:46
key now because demonic devices air apparently crucial in music
- 00:50
theory one on one let's remember the pneumonic for the
- 00:54
order of flats in a key signature be gum candy
- 00:58
fruit No one ever said musicians were good at making
- 01:00
clever demonic so let's also remember the trick toe identifying
- 01:04
major keys and a flat key signature is toe look
- 01:07
Att the second toe last flat in said key signature
- 01:11
Well the second last flat tells us the major key
- 01:14
For instance if we were in b flat major our
- 01:17
key signature would have two flats and the second toe
- 01:20
last flat right here is yet b flat So to
- 01:24
figure out the key signature for a d flat major
- 01:27
we just go through our demonic b e and land
- 01:29
on d for de flat Clever Right then at one
- 01:34
more flat Teo key signature Teo get g flat And
- 01:38
there we go That's our five signature for d flat
- 01:41
major five flats And now that we know d flat
- 01:44
major contains b flat e flat a flat b flat
- 01:48
and e flat we can check the notes in our
- 01:51
court to determine if they exist in the key then
- 01:54
figure out what type of four chord we have Well
- 01:58
g flat check We've got one of those b flat
- 02:01
Yep And d flat that's The key were in So
- 02:04
that makes sense And bingo that's all the flats in
- 02:07
our court All of these notes occur in the key
- 02:10
of d flat major And we know that in a
- 02:13
major key The forecourt is a major and if we
- 02:16
look at our answers while we can see that is
- 02:18
a diminished for cord Bia's a minor for court and
- 02:22
he is an augmented for board which leaves us just
- 02:25
with c on ly major for port in the bunch
- 02:29
Seas are correct Answer that we could have solved that 00:02:31.905 --> [endTime] much faster Ten hut
