I love to play triads and if you&#8217;ve been a musicians for sometime now, you should know that triads sound very basic.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of musicians have abandoned triads for seventh and extended chords because they are basic and there&#8217;s nothing wrong with adding sophisticated chords to your chordal vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>However, instead of leaving those triads behind, I&#8217;m going to show you how you can transform basic triads into added tone chords that would add some warmth to your chord progressions.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<h2>Added Tone Chords &#8212; <em>Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Added tone chords are basically triads with an added tone.<\/p>\n<p>So, instead of playing a triad, that you may find boring, you can add an extra tone to the triad and that&#8217;s going to add some warmth to the chord.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;So, What Are The Added Tones?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The tones that can be added to a triad to form an added tone chord are the second, fourth, and sixth tones of the scale; which are basically the tones that were skipped in the formation of the triad.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you have the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll recall that in the formation of the C major triad, that after the note C, we&#8217;re skipping D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and playing the E note, and then we also skip the F note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and play the G note.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if we go ahead and skip the A note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we can also play the B note to form 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=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br

octave higher as the ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth tones respectively.<\/p>\n<h3>The Added Tone Chords<\/h3>\n<p>To the C major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

can either have the D minor (add2):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,F,A,,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or the D minor (add11):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,G,A,,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as the two added tone chords you can play over the second tone of the scale on the bass.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0The 3-chord<\/h3>\n<p>If you raise all the chords played over the second tone of the scale (which is D) are raised by a whole-step, you&#8217;ll have the added tone chords for the third tone of the scale:<\/p>\n<p>The E minor (add2):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Fs,G,B,,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe E minor (add11):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

\/>\nSo, similar to what we did with the 1-chord, we can either play the Fadd2:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,C,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or the Fmaj6 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

1-chord. The Fadd2:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,C,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be played in the following ways:<\/p>\n<p>Voicing #1:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,G,A,C,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing #2:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,G,A,C,F,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing #3:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,,C,F,G,A,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe Fmaj6 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,C,D,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can either be played in this voicing:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,A,C,D,F,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or this voicing:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,,C,D,F,A,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0The 5-chord<\/h3>\n<p>The 5-chord, the G major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be played as the Gadd2 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,D,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing #1:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,A,B,D,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing #2:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,A,B,D,G,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nVoicing #3:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,D,G,A,B,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0The 6-chord<\/h3>\n<p>The 6-chord is the A minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,E,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and you can either have the A minor (add2):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,B,C,E,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or the A minor (add11):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,D,E,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as the two added tone chords you can play over the sixth tone of the scale on the bass.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Word<\/h2>\n<p>In a subsequent lesson, I&#8217;ll teach you how you can use these added tone chords over a variety of bass notes to form bigger chords. For example, you can play the Gadd4 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,C,D,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;over A on the bass:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to form the Amin11 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,G,B,C,D,&amp;color=33FFFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll explore all that and more in subsequent lessons. But for now, I wish you all the best and endeavor to substitute those boring triads with added tone chords.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If
