<em>Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The major key is populated with common chords and they are either of a major or minor quality: the 1-chord, 2-chord, 3-chord, etc., are all common chords and they are NOT dissonant.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s discuss briefly on common chords.<\/p>\n<h3>A Short Note On Common Chords<\/h3>\n<p>When the interval between the root and fifth tone of a chord is a perfect fifth, such a chord is said to be a common chord.<\/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=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;where the 1-chord is the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the interval between the root and fifth tone (which are C and G respectively):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,G,,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a perfect fifth interval.<\/p>\n<h3>The 7-chord Is Not A Common Chord<\/h3>\n<p>The only chord that stands out in the major key is the 7-chord and this is because every other chord is a common chord. A closer look at the B diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D,F,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is the 7-chord in the key of C major, you&#8217;ll notice that the interval (or distance) between its root and fifth tone (which are B and F respectively):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,F,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a diminished fifth.<\/p>\n<p>The diminished fifth interval between the root and fifth tone of the 7-chord makes the 7-chord sound unstable, unpleasant, and dissonant.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>The primary reason why the 7-chord is the most dissonant chord in the major key is because it is NOT a common chord.<\/p>\n<p>The 7-chord is rarely used in the major key and when used, it functions as an incomplete dominant chord and we&#8217;ll be looking at the relationship between the 7-chord and the dominant chord in another lesson.<\/p>\n<p>All the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This  lesson is for
