  2. Quartal and quintal harmony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartal_and_quintal_harmony

    Chords by perfect fourth are ambiguous in that, like all chords built by equidistant intervals (diminished seventh chords or augmented triads), any member can function as the root. The indifference of this rootless harmony to tonality places the burden of key verification upon the voice with the most active melodic line.

  3. Chord-scale system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord-scale_system

    The corresponding scale for the C 7 ♯ 11 chord, with added ninth and thirteenth tensions, is C lydian dominant, the fourth mode of the ascending melodic minor. [ 7 ] Originating with George Russell 's Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization (1959), [ 8 ] the chord-scale system is now the "most widely used method for teaching jazz ...

  4. Tritone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone

    Since the perfect 11th (i.e. an octave plus perfect fourth) is typically perceived as a dissonance requiring a resolution to a major or minor 10th, chords that expand to the 11th or beyond typically raise the 11th a semitone (thus giving us an augmented or sharp 11th, or an octave plus a tritone from the root of the chord) and present it in ...

  6. Chord notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_notation

    A rock or pop guitarist or keyboardist might literally play the chords as indicated (e.g., the C major chord would be played by playing the notes C, E and G at the same time). In jazz , particularly for music from the 1940s bebop era or later, players typically have latitude to add in the sixth, seventh, and/or ninth of the chord.

  7. Guitar chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_chord

    The most basic three-chord progressions of Western harmony have only major chords. In each key, three chords are designated with the Roman numerals (of musical notation): The tonic (I), the subdominant (IV), and the dominant (V). While the chords of each three-chord progression are numbered (I, IV, and V), they appear in other orders.

  8. Augmented-fourths tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented-fourths_tuning

    The augmented-fourth interval is the only interval whose inverse is the same as itself. The augmented-fourths tuning is the only tuning (other than the 'trivial' tuning C-C-C-C-C-C) for which all chords-forms remain unchanged when the strings are reversed. Thus the augmented-fourths tuning is its own 'lefty' tuning." [2]

  9. Universal key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_key

    When used with chord symbols, the Roman numerals represent the root of a triad built on the associated scale step. In music theory based on the practices of the common practice period and its derivations the chord numerals are often written in upper case for chords in the major family, and in lower case for chords in the minor family, with the usual "m" or "—" minor chord quality suffix ...
