My Silly Names for Certain Chords
- Christmas Chord vi6 - I
- Anime Chord V7/vi
- Phineas and Ferb/High School Musical Chord ♭VII - I
- Where Thou Hast Died ♭VII - V - I
- Broadway Chord V - ♭VI - around the world - I
- Halfstep-up with the V13 V13 - ♭VI13 - ♭II
- Swan lake minor ♭vi - i
Named originally after the chorus of The Christmas Song sung by Nat King Cole, with C to Fm6 at the start of the Chorus.
The High School Musical portion comes from Stick to the Status Quo and refers to the D (more like a sus2, but they behave the same here) at the end of the Chorus.
The Phineas and Ferb chord refers to the guitar bit played at the start of an episode when the camera pans to Phineas and Ferb under the tree. I've tried my Google-fu, but cannot find an isolated source file or anything close.
This chord came from "I am Thine, O Lord" chorus where a D is played in the key of E major. The hymnal references online don't show this, opting for a ii, II7, or vi walk-down to the V instead.
It might only exist in my father's arrangement of the piece; tastefully done.
This occurs at the end (or at least apex) of a Broadway song where the singer belts out the last note after a V7 to resolve to the I, BUT instead the singer holds that note and the ♭VI hits you with the deceptive cadence.
My floaty notation "around the world" refers to hopping around to different chords and keys while that singer's note is held. Any chord that has that singer's note in it is fair game.
