For years now, I&#8217;ve been inundated with Facebook inbox and WhatsApp messages from people requesting lessons on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/devil-music-tritones-vs-augmented-4ths-diminished-5ths\">tritone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Well, a good way to start your adventure with tritones is to master the extended dominant seventh chords. And in the spirit of Christmas (and more so the New Year), I&#8217;ve decided to share eight species of extended dominant chords in this lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the dominant seventh chord that falls into the compass of one octave, extended dominant chords contain compound intervals like ninths, elevenths and thirteenths (that exceed the span of an octave).<\/p>\n<p>If by happenstance or choice, you stack more thirds to the basic dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,D,F,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you\u2019ll be exceeding the compass of one octave.<\/p>\n<p>A third above F (the highest chord tone) will produce:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,D,F,A,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The interval from G to A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,A,&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a ninth. Yet another third (A to C) will produce:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,D,F,A,C&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The interval from G to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,C&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is an eleventh.<\/p>\n<p>And another third (C to E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,D,F,A,C,E&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The interval from G to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,E&amp;color=CCFFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230; is a thirteenth.<\/p>\n<p>All these notes added above the basic dominant seventh structure are known as <em>extensions<\/em> because of the compound intervals they form from the root of the chord.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Extended Dominant Chord Species<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Who can tell me what these names (Rottweiler, Neapolitan, and Alsatian) have in common?<\/p>\n<p>They are all dogs but different <b>species<\/b>. <em>Specie<\/em> is what distinguishes animals that are closely related by class, order, family, and genius.<\/p>\n<p><em>(*Lol!

Both are chimpanzees, the difference between the species has to do with size (among other things).<\/p>\n<p>Now, the reason why I took time to delve into biology is because I want you to understand that even though extended dominant chords are closely related, there are several species.<\/p>\n<p>Just like chimpanzees may be robust or dwarf, extended dominant species have various harmonic traits that distinguish them.<\/p>\n<p>There are several species, however, I\u2019m limited to only eight because today is the eighth day of Christmas.
