Extended chords are easy to understand -- once you know about the Circle of Thirds.
Essentially, fancy extended chords are built by adding notes incrementally from a key's Circle of Thirds. By including ever more intervals of a third, you can play increasingly more complex harmonies.
Had I only known this in the beginning!
Without the Circle of Thirds, exotic chord names seem mysterious and complicated. WITH the Circle of Thirds, however, everything clicks into place.
🎥 This short video gives you the gist.

Hey! Join Sunday's stream for the first in the Theory Course LIVE series.
We'll be going through the course lessons page-by-page, playing the exercises, etc. -- with questions, answers, and sidebars along the way. It's a new and insightful look into music theory.
(The live stream link referenced in this video is actually in the NEXT post.)
Why do modes seem confusing? There are a couple of reasons:
1) Because they're often depicted using traditional notation. This is a problem because the linear structure of notation distorts the inherently cyclical nature of music. So the way modes are typically pictured is warped.
2) Because different song examples are commonly used to illustrate the sonic qualities of the respective modes. But that's like comparing apples to oranges, in a way. So the point of the comparison gets lost.
So this video demonstrates how the various modes alter the sound of a single song -- using the ChordMap to visualize the changes.
The accompanying chord diagrams are in the follow-up post (341b). Cheers.
