Our focus in today’s lesson is on implied harmony and how fifth intervals can be used as chord voicings.<\/p>\n

Attention:<\/strong> This lesson is written with intermediate musicians in mind. So, I assume that you’re an intermediate player who has a basic knowledge of harmony and wants to learn more about implied harmony.<\/p>\n

Let’s get started right away by taking a look at these two fifth interval types:<\/p>\n

Perfect fifth intervals<\/p>\n

Diminished fifth intervals<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…before we go ahead and learn how they can be used as chord voicings.<\/p>\n

Quick Insights On Perfect And Diminished Fifth Intervals<\/h2>\n

The goal of this segment is to refresh your mind on the fifth intervals we’ll be using as chord voicings in this lesson.<\/p>\n

Can you still remember the definition of an interval:<\/p>\n

An interval is a product of the relationship between two notes heard together or separately.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the definition of intervals, the perfect fifth interval and diminished fifth interval are basically a pair of notes that can be heard together (as harmonic intervals) or separately (as melodic intervals).<\/p>\n

We’ll be focusing on perfect and diminished fifth intervals heard together as harmonic intervals.<\/p>\n

The Perfect Fifth Interval — Explained<\/em><\/h3>\n

The relationship between the first and fifth tones of the major scale produces the perfect fifth interval. In the key of C major:
\n
\n…where the first and fifth tones are C and G respectively:
\n
\n…playing C and G together produces a perfect fifth interval (C-G):
\n
\nUsing the major scale as a reference, you can derive the perfect fifth interval starting from any note.<\/p>\n

\nBb perfect fifth:
\n
\nB perfect fifth:
\n
\nLet’s proceed to diminished fifth intervals.<\/p>\n

A Short Note On The Diminished Fifth Interval<\/h3>\n

Diminished intervals are fifth intervals that are smaller than perfect fifth intervals by a half-step. For example, the interval between C and Gb:
\n
\n…is a diminished fifth interval.<\/p>\n

Side-by-side with the perfect fifth interval:<\/p>\n

C and G (the perfect fifth):
\n
\nC and Gb (the diminished fifth):
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…you can see that the diminished fifth interval is smaller by a half-step. Consequently, lowering a perfect interval by a half-step produces a diminished fifth interval.<\/p>\n

For example, lowering E and B (a perfect fifth interval):
\n
\n…by a half-step (produces E and Bb):
\n
\n…which is a diminished fifth interval.<\/p>\n

Perfect And Diminished Fifth Intervals As Chord Voicings<\/h2>\n

The perfect fifth and diminished fifth intervals can be used to imply seventh chord harmonies and I’ll be showing you how this works.<\/p>\n

Let’s get started with the implied major seventh harmony.<\/p>\n

Implied Major Seventh Harmony<\/h3>\n

The major seventh chord consists of two perfect fifth intervals:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Between the root and the fifth<\/li>\n
  2. Between the third and the seventh<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the C major seventh chord:
    \n
    \n…there are two perfect fifth intervals:<\/p>\n

    C-G:
    \n
    \nE-B:
    \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The perfect fifth interval between the third and seventh tones (E and B):
    \n
    \n…can be used to imply the C major seventh harmony:
    \n
    \nPlaying E-B (implied C major seventh harmony) over C on the bass:
    \n
    \n…produces the C major seventh chord.<\/p>\n

    “So, What’s The Relationship Between The Root Note And The Perfect Fifth Interval?”<\/em><\/p>\n

    Playing a perfect fifth interval that is a major third above any given root note produces an implied major seventh harmony.<\/p>\n

    For example, if A is given as the root note:
    \n
    \n…playing a perfect fifth interval on the third tone of the A major scale:
    \n
    \n…which is C#:
    \n
    \n…would produce an implied A major seventh harmony.<\/p>\n

    So, the C# perfect fifth:
    \n
    \n…is the implied A major seventh harmony and if you take a closer look at the A major seventh chord:
    \n
    \n…you’ll see that the tones of C# perfect fifth interval (C# and G#) are the third and seventh tones of the A major seventh chord.<\/p>\n

    Implied Minor Seventh Harmony<\/h3>\n

    Playing a perfect fifth interval three half-steps above any given root note produces the minor seventh harmony.<\/p>\n

    “It’s Simpler Than It Sounds…”<\/em><\/p>\n

    Given G (as the root note):
    \n
    \n…the corresponding perfect fifth interval that produces an implied minor seventh harmony is three half-steps above G and that’s Bb:
    \n<\/p>\n

    Three half-steps above G:
    \n
    \n…is Bb:
    \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    So, the Bb perfect fifth interval:
    \n
    \n…is the implied minor seventh harmony and you can clearly see the tones of the Bb perfect fifth interval in the G minor seventh chord:
    \n<\/p>\n

    Bb is the third:
    \n
    \nF is the seventh:
    \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Three half-steps above E:
    \n
    \n…is G:
    \n
    \nSo, playing the G perfect fifth (G-D):
    \n
    \n…over E on the bass:
    \n
    \n…produces an implied E minor seventh harmony:
    \n
    \nUsing the perfect fifth interval, the minor seventh harmony can be implied.<\/p>\n

    Implied Dominant Seventh Harmony<\/h3>\n

    Playing the diminished fifth interval (aka – “tritone”) on the third tone of the scale implies a dominant seventh harmony.<\/p>\n

    In the key of C major:
    \n
    \n…where E is the third tone:
    \n
    \nPlaying the E diminished fifth interval (E-Bb):
    \n
    \n…over C on the bass:
    \n
    \n…produces the C implied dominant seventh harmony:
    \n
    \nFollowing the same procedure, the dominant seventh harmony can be implied on every given bass note.<\/p>\n

    Final Words<\/h2>\n

    We’re just getting started with implied harmony.<\/p>\n

    In a subsequent lesson, we’ll learn more about their broader application in terms of voicing, progressions, and most importantly how they can be used to play songs.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, go ahead and master how dominant, major, and minor seventh harmonies can be implied. I guarantee that if you stick to the procedures given in this lesson, that you’ll get the same results.<\/p>\n

    All the best and see you next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
