For example, the Cdom7 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;resolves to the F major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,F,A,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBut for a stronger resolution to the F minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;using a C altered chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,Bb,Db,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;sounds a whole lot better.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Concept Of Chord Voicings<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>chord<\/strong> is a collection of three or more related notes (agreeable or not), which may be played or heard together.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the C major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of three related notes (that are agreeable), and may be played or heard together.<\/p>\n<h3>The Concept Of Chord Voicing<\/h3>\n<p>The notes of a chord can be considered as voices or voice parts &#8211; soprano, alto, tenor, and bass.<\/p>\n<p>Voicing is the consideration of the notes of a chord as voices, and has to do with the rearrangement of the notes of a chord using techniques known to music scholars as <em>voicing techniques<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be rearranged into any of the following voicings&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The part-over-root voicing:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,B,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe skeleton voicing:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,G,E,B,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe drop-two voicing:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,C,E,B,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe rootless voicing:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe polychord voicing:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,E,G,B,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and more.<\/p>\n<h3>The Importance Of Voicing<\/h3>\n<p>The overall harmony in all the cases is the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;however, the use of a variety of voicing techniques to rearrange it adds an extra dimension to the C major seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of voicing is used mostly in gospel and jazz styles by advanced musicians to enhance and sophisticate regular chords. For example, playing the drop-two voicing of the F major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,F,A,E,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;sounds different compared to the regular F major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,C,E,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, using the concept of voicing, regular chords can be enhanced and stylized.
