I know as much as an A7 normally asks for a final D... what other chords does this apply too?? meaning what other chords depend on each other like those 2??
cheers ;)
Peace!!!

A#7 resolves to D# in a similar way, but involving more fingers. Also, A##7 resolves to D##, which suggests that B7 resolves to E. Hopefully you see the pattern.

You're talking about a V7-I progression; basically any dominant-seventh chord is going to lead to its tonic, so you've got this entire sequence:

V7 - I
G7 - C
A-flat7 - D-flat
A7 - D
B-flat7 - E-flat
B7 - E
C7 - F
D-flat7 - G-flat
D7 - G
E-flat7 - A-flat
E7 - A
F7 - B-flat
F#7 - B

There are other relationships that lead into each other, like I - IV, I - vi, IV - ii, ii - V, V - iii, etc etc etc. Play around with triads/quad chords within a major scale and look for chords that share 1 or two notes; those are the related chords that most chord progressions key off of.

I had a severe chord dependency for a long time. Finally, a lost weekend of binging on augmented triads culminated in two broken fingers and I knew I had to quit. Going cold turkey was painful but now I feel so strong. Just last week I double-stopped a perfect fifth on cello and I didn't even hear the third in my head.

Diminished 7th chords want to resolve to the major or minor triad a half-step above the root; but the neat thing is that any note in the diminished 7th chord can be the root, so you can resolve the same chord 4 different ways.

You speak of the fully diminshed chord, just to clarify!

What a waste, to begin diminishing a chord and not finish the job.

"Diminished 7th" is understood as meaning fully diminished, just like if you said "C7" everyone knows you mean C dominant seventh.

Haha, this thread just made me come up with a really dumb joke:

"36-24-36? Only if she's

5
3
"

is there a "root" gag in that, somewhere

is there a similar quick set of relationships like dans above but for minor keys? actually i have no idea about chords in minor keys at all even, nevermind.

The ii in the ii-V7-i for a minor key is usually a half-diminished seventh, I think.

figured bass lol

And the diatonically ocurring ii chord in a minor key is a half-diminished seventh using the natural minor or a minor seventh using the melodic minor scale (or dorian mode).
