Let&#8217;s refresh our minds on the tonic chord before we get into learning these exceptional chords.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Tonic Chord<\/h2>\n<p>There are eight tones in every key (be it a major or a minor key.)<\/p>\n<p>These tones are described by music scholars using technical names as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Tonic<\/strong> for the first tone<\/p>\n<p><strong>Supertonic<\/strong> for the second tone<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mediant<\/strong> for the third tone<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subdominant<\/strong> for the fourth tone<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dominant<\/strong> for the fifth tone<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submediant<\/strong> for the sixth tone<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subtonic<\/strong> for the seventh tone<\/p>\n<p><strong>Octave <\/strong>for the eighth tone<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The technical name of the first tone is the tonic. Consequently, the chord of the first tone is described as the tonic chord.<\/p>\n<p>The tonic chord in any key is the most important chord because its root is the most important tone in the key. For example, in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where the tonic is C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhat other tone could possibly be more important than C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;in the key of C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAdditionally, it&#8217;s common for a lot of songs to start and end on the tonic chord. Take for instance, the National Anthem of a lot of nations of the world &#8212; The US, Nigeria, South Africa, and so on, all start and end on the tonic chord.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s due to this importance of the tonic chord that we&#8217;ll be dedicating the rest of this lesson to learning exceptional chords for the first tone of the scale.<\/p>\n<h2>Exceptional Chords For The First Tone Of The Scale<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go ahead and cover some exceptional chords that can be played on the first tone (aka &#8211; &#8220;tonic chords&#8221;) and also highlight the qualities that distinguish them from regular tonic chords.<\/p>\n<h3>The Major Sixth Chord<\/h3>\n<p>The major sixth chord is a <em>non-tertian<\/em> chord.<\/p>\n<p>The term <em>non-tertian <\/em>is used to describe chords that are not built absolutely on third intervals, versus <em>tertian <\/em>chords that are built on third intervals between successive tones.<\/p>\n<p>The major sixth chord can be formed when the first, third, fifth, and sixth tones of the major scale are played or heard together. Using the C 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=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the C major sixth chord can be formed when the first (C), third (E), fifth (G), and sixth (A) tones:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,A,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are played or heard together.<\/p>\n<p>The C major sixth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,A,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(just like every other major sixth chord) is <em>non-tertian <\/em>because the distance between its fifth and sixth tones (which are G and A in this case):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a second interval.<\/p>\n<p>So, the exotic sound of the major sixth chord comes from the second interval between the fifth and sixth tone.<\/p>\n<p>The major sixth chord sounds a lot better in its first and second inversion for a variety of reasons that time will fail us to highlight. So, it&#8217;s recommended for you anyone to play the C major sixth chord (in first inversion):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,A,C,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or the C major sixth chord (in second inversion):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,C,E,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Major 6\/9 Chord<\/h3>\n<p>The major 6\/9 chord (a non-tertian chord) is basically a major sixth chord with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/one-of-the-smartest-ways-to-learn-and-master-chord-extensions\">chord extension<\/a> &#8212; the ninth.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where a ninth tone from the first tone (C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe ninth\u00a0 (which is D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be added to the regular C major sixth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,A,,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to produces the C 6\/9 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,A,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n6\/9 chords sound exotic not only because they are non-tertian, but because of the fourth interval (aka &#8211; &#8220;quartal harmony&#8221;) between its sixth (A) and ninth (D) tones:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAlso, the 6\/9 chord can be formed in C using 7sus4 quartal triads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>E 7sus4 triad<\/p>\n<p>A 7sus4 triad<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The E 7sus4 triad over C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,A,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the A 7sus4 triad over C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,A,D,G,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are all voicings of the C 6\/9 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,A,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Augmented Major Seventh Chord<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, we have a tertian chord on the list &#8211; the augmented major seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>Raising the fifth tone of any major seventh chord produces the augmented major seventh chord. For example, raising the fifth tone of the G major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,Fs,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by a half-step (to D#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Ds,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the G augmented major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,Ds,Fs,&amp;color=999966&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe exotic sound of the augmented major seventh chord is derived from its raised fifth tone (aka &#8211; &#8220;augmented fifth&#8221;)<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Due to the fact that most songs start and\/or end on chord 1, you can
