But before I do so, permit me to refresh your mind on the 3-chord.<\/p>\n<h2>An Overview Of The 3-chord In The Major Key<\/h2>\n<p>The term &#8220;3-chord&#8221; is used to describe the chord of the 3rd tone in the key &#8212; be it a major or minor key.<\/p>\n<p>In the major key, the 3-chord is a minor quality chord starting from the third tone of the scale (which is its root) and extending to become a triad and seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the third tone 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=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, adding chord tones in third intervals, we&#8217;ll have the following notes added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to produce E-G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThen B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to produce the E minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adding another tone to the E minor triad (still in third intervals) which is D, produces the E minor seventh chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>E minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nD:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Altogether, there are two basic 3-chord examples in the major key and in the key of  C major, they are the E minor triad and the E minor seventh chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>E minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Challenges Associated With Playing An Extended 3-chord<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible to extend the size of the 3-chord from the minor triad and minor seventh chord to bigger, sophisticated, and extended minor chords like the minor ninth and minor eleventh chords.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Still In The Key Of C Major&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The seventh tone of the E minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=33CC33&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=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and a third above D is F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,F,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, adding F to the E minor seventh chord produces the E minor seventh [flat ninth] chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>E minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nF:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,F,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE minor seventh [flat ninth] chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,F,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;which is a very unpleasant minor chord because of the intolerable dissonance between the following chord tones:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>E and F (the root and the ninth):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,F,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is a minor ninth interval.<\/p>\n<p>B and F (the fifth and the ninth):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,F,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is a diminished fifth (aka &#8211;
