Let&#8217;s get into the first segment on sophistication.<\/p>\n<h2>Sophistication &#8212; <em>Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Harmonically complex chords are generally considered to be sophisticated for a variety of reasons and I may not necessarily dedicate another lesson where we&#8217;ll cover <em>&#8220;Why Complex Chords Are Considered To Be More Sophisticated.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Generally, the sophistication of a chord is determined by the number of notes it&#8217;s made up of and the number of intervals as well. So, the more the number of notes in a chord, the more sophisticated it becomes.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the how sophisticated triads, seventh chords, and extended chords are.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;How Sophisticated Are Triads?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Triads are three-toned chords and are the least sophisticated chords in music theory.<\/p>\n<p>Triads literally sound like a three-part choir where you have the Soprano, Alto, and Tenor voices and they are pretty basic when compared to seventh chords and extended chords.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you are looking for very basic chords to harmonize or accompany your songs with, I&#8217;ll recommend you stick to triads because they have all what you&#8217;re looking for in basic harmony.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;Then What About Seventh Chords?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Seventh chords are four-toned chords and a classic example of a seventh chord is the G dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is the 5-chord 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=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSeventh chords are in-between triads and extended chords in terms of sophistication. So, if you&#8217;re looking for chords that are neither too basic nor too sophisticated, then I&#8217;ll recommend seventh chords.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of popular music styles use seventh chords because they are moderately sophisticated; unlike triads that are super basic and extended chords that are way too complicated.<\/p>\n<h3>Extended Chords: The Most Sophisticated Chord Types<\/h3>\n<p>Extended chords are the most sophisticated chords. I&#8217;m talking about ninth chords, eleventh chords, and thirteenth chords.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from ninth chords (that have five voices), it&#8217;s impossible to play other extended chords using one hand; except you&#8217;ve figured a way of playing six to seven voices using five fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Thirteenth chords are so sophisticated that they contain all the notes of the scale they&#8217;re derived from. For example, the thirteenth chord below:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,D,F,A,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of all the notes of 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=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, if you really want to sound advanced and turn heads, then you really have to consider learning tons of extended chords and voicings.<\/p>\n<h2>Quick Insights On The Stability Of Chords<\/h2>\n<p>The stability of a chord talks about the pleasantness and completeness that comes with playing that particular chord.<\/p>\n<p>Stable chords sound pleasant and complete while active or tension chords sound incomplete and unpleasant and tend to move to more stable chords when played.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be looking at the stability of triads, seventh chords, and extended chords in this segment and the goal is to open your eyes to another important attribute that most musicians play down on.<\/p>\n<p>I believe a musician should consider the stability of a chord before playing it and this is because music is dynamic and one may not always be in a position where stable chords are needed &#8212; there would also be situations where active chords are needed and vice-versa.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;Stability Is Inversely Proportional To Sophistication&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>As sophistication increases from triads to seventh chords, and extended chords (like ninths, elevenths, and thirteenths), stability decreases.<\/p>\n<p>Triads are the most stable chords because they are exclusively made up of stable tones. 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=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the stable tones are the first, third, and fifth tones (which are C, E, and G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and every other tone is active.<\/p>\n<p>So, using the C major scale (as a reference):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the C major triad consists of all the stable tones in the key.<\/p>\n<p>Adding the seventh tone (which is B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to produce 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=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nwould introduce an active tone and decrease the stability of the chord. This explains why the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is more stable than 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=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Think About It&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Triads are made up of stable tones and whatever chord tones we&#8217;re adding to form seventh and extended chords are active tones and they decrease the stability of the chord.<\/p>\n<p>So, the most stable 1-chord to play is the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;adding B to form the C major seventh:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or B and D (which are active tones) to form the C major ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=00CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;etc., will end up giving us unstable chords.<\/p>\n<p>So, the more sophisticated a chord gets, the less stable it becomes and vice-versa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to know when to apply triads, seventh chords, and extended chords, then this lesson is for
