Great content as always! I hope you'll make a video on 9th, 11th and 13th chords (or add9, add11, add 13 chords) and songs in which they occur.

Finally someone is starting to talk about ear training that is based on tonal context and not interval identification.

In Spanish the leading tone is called "la sensible" the sensitive tone. Is more descriptive. I like it

As someone whose school music teacher never taught theory, these videos are so helpful. Thank you for making them!

Correction: The subdominant is so named because it is as far below the tonic as the dominant is above it - not because it is a degree below the dominant.

Having learned that Don't Look Back in Anger starts on the fifth degree, is it considered word painting because they're singing the word 'so'?

I thought you were going to mention the opening theme for The Simpsons when speaking about the Flattened Fifth. The chord sounded totally like it. Nice video!

Re: your analysis of the Subdominant: In the Prince example, that Eb is acting as the b7th of the V chord. What we hear is a V-I cadence (F7 to Bb). In that context, the Eb isn't acting as a Subdominant., it's a flattened Leading Tone. You need to find an example of a Sus. chord (before it's resolved) to demonstrate the sound of a 4th.

The caption for flattened 2nd comes in around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppfTDU8dfiw&t=890">14:50</a> when you’re still talking about the subtonic in the Stones number
