Nice straight-to-point video on compositional tools and methods, and of course he has a decent collection of other videos to browse. Even though his focus is on classical composition, the simple examples and straightforward explanations are very transferable to other contexts.

And a more electronic exploration which is incredibly good after you get past the introduction

Towards the end the above vid brings up the “blackadder” chord which he also calls the suspense chord.

This one analyzed some songs using blackadder

It’s kinda adorable that these younger peeps were so mystified by this chord and made up a name for it. To me it sounds like an altered dominant chord. I’ve heard this chord in songs by Steely Dan, Michael McDonald/Doobie Brothers, big band jazz ensembles, etc.
