It&#8217;s important to note that less than three notes cannot make a chord. So, it&#8217;s three notes or more that produces a chord.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;&#8230;related notes&#8230;&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is the relationship between the notes of a chord (aka &#8211; &#8220;chord tones&#8221;) that determines if a collection of three or more notes is a chord or not. There are two relationships that can exist between chord tones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scale Relationship<\/li>\n<li>Intervallic Relationship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, the notes of a C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which are C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are related by the C natural major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC, E, and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are the first, third, and fifth tones of the C natural major scale.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there is an intervallic relationship between the notes of the C major chord. From C to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a third, and so is E to G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo the C major chord is built on third intervals, consequently, it&#8217;s called a <em>tertian<\/em> chord.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><\/span><em>&#8220;Just Before We Move On&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are three classes of chords according to width.<\/p>\n<p>We have <strong>triads<\/strong> which are chords of three notes, which consists of a root, a third, and a fifth tone.<\/p>\n<p>There are also <strong>seventh<\/strong> <strong>chords<\/strong> which are basically four note chords. A seventh chord consists of the root, third, fifth, and seventh tones of a given scale.<\/p>\n<p>And there are also extended chords. These are chords that exceed the compass of one octave.<\/p>\n<p>Although, there are three widths of chords; <em>triad, sevenths, and extended chords, <\/em>we&#8217;ll be focusing on seventh chords in this lesson.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Stability Of A Chord<\/h2>\n<p>A stable chord is a chord that when played, have no tendency to move. A stable chord has this sense of repose and calmness. While an unstable chord has this tendency to move to a stable chord when played. Stable chords sound pleasant while unstable chords sound harsh.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of stability, there are two classes of chords:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consonant Chords<\/li>\n<li>Dissonant Chords<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In consonant chords, there is an agreeable relationship between the notes whereas in dissonant chords the relationship is between inagreeable notes, hence, the outcome of the relationship between the notes is unpleasant.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pay attention to this&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is important to know that the stability of a chord depends on the intervals the chord is made up of (aka &#8211; &#8220;its intervallic components&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>So using the intervallic component of a chord, you can be able to decipher whether the chord is stable or not. And I&#8217;ll show you how in the next segment.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Determine The Stability Of A Chord<\/h2>\n<p>According to music scholars, dissonant intervals includes diminished and augmented intervals. And for the most part, the interval that every musician must look out for that usually tampers with the stability of a chord is the diminished fifth interval which is an inverted tritone.<\/p>\n<p>Before we proceed, let&#8217;s take a look at some of the intervallic properties of the diminished fifth interval.<\/p>\n<h3>A Short Note On The Diminished Fifth Interval<\/h3>\n<p>The diminished fifth interval is also known as a tritone, and can be formed by shrinking a perfect fifth interval by a half step. For example, a perfect fifth interval which is a product of the relationship between the first and fifth tones of any given major scale, which in this case could be C and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe shrinking of the C perfect fifth interval either by raising C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by a half step to C#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to produce C#-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or to lower G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by a half step to Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to produce C-Gb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Gb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces what is known as the\u00a0devil&#8217;s interval, and nothing good was found in it, and that&#8217;s because of its dissonant nature.<\/p>\n<p>Now most chords that contain the diminished fifth interval tend to be unstable. So when played, they inherit the property of the diminished fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p>Also, one other vital fifth interval that you should look out four is the augmented fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of the augmented fifth interval in a chord tampers with the stability of a chord. So if a chord contains any of these fifth intervals (the diminished fifth or the augmented fifth interval) such a chord loses its stability.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll be showing you how to determine the stability of a chord in five seconds or less.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Here&#8217;s how it works&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When given any chord (whether triad or seventh chord) look out for possible fifth intervals. For example, in the D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;there&#8217;s just one fifth interval in the chord, and that&#8217;s D to A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,A,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nConsidering that it is a perfect fifth interval, D-A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,A,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a stable chord.<\/p>\n<p>And then on the other hand, the D augmented triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,Fs,As,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which consists of D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and A#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,As,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;there&#8217;s an augmented fifth interval between D and A#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,As,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nConsequently, the D augmented triad is an unstable chord.<\/p>\n<p>The same thing is obtainable in seventh chords, however you must learn how to break down the seventh chords into mutual fifth intervals.<\/p>\n<p>For example give the C minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,Bb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you can break it down into two mutual fifth intervals, C-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and Eb-Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,Bb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and both are perfect fifth intervals. Consequently, the C minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,Bb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a stable chord.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s check out the C dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe C dominant seventh chord consists of two mutual fifth intervals; C-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and E-Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Bb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a perfect fifth interval, and E-Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Bb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a diminished fifth interval.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the C dominant seventh chord is an unstable chord, and this is because of the diminished fifth intervallic components formed between E and Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Bb,&amp;color=FF66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>So given any chord at
