Music Foundations Tutorial - Chord Theory Part 2: Chord Extensions w/ Max Wild

[@jsdsps01]

It's amusing how he talks about removing tritones yet creates another one between the C and F#!

[@therealmaxwild]

Snitzmusic Very perceptive, and technically yes C to F# is a tritone, however, since in this voicing the C is played in the bass, over an octave below the F#, with several other notes in between, the ear does not hear the tritone as much as it would the tritone B to F in the upper extensions.

As i said on another comment tritone should not be avoided except when doing "crowded" chords. It helps put a greater tension, giving energy to your track. Actually very good when use sparingly, like here.

Great!! :D I need that course!!

[@rEspanator]

mfw I do this already and know jack shit about music theory, thanks for the reassurance tho!

[@marioCazares]

This series is very helpful, thank you

[@stromkraftnet]

Well explained. Thanks for losing the movie clips. "White Noise" is one of the few "commercial" tracks that I both respect and enjoy so I appreciate the example..

[@anzatzi]

Great presentation. Enough screen grab-able piano roll shots to fill in the blanks. Thanks

[@MicheleAnesi]

It would be cool if you continue the series

[@Bboybrando]

Cool tutorial

[@wilmenls]

Nice tips, avoid the tritone.

[@carbonealpha]

Don't. In Blues or for others it is a way to put tension in your playing which allows for greater resolution feeling on the next notes. The tritone should be avoided only if your goal is to stay in harmony but a lot of people actually create inharmonic music or use it as a temporary state.

One thing that I dont understand is mode. Lets say my favorite scale is melodic minor wich is 2-1-2-2-1-2-2 if I'm not mistaken. Is a mode a little twist applied to a scale or a totaly different scale ?

[@carbonealpha]

Modes are an abstraction of the root note. Hope that helps :)

[@MrVitalic85]

carbonealpha thank you!

[@carbonealpha]

Happy that it actually helped :) I have been spending some time in the dark as you may be for now :)
