But I remembered that there are people like me &#8212; who are never tired of learning and are the reason why I&#8217;m on this blog.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m talking about people who would want to know why it&#8217;s called the Db major chord, where it&#8217;s derived from, its class of harmony, its inversion, and other chords that it can form over a different bass note.<\/p>\n<p>If you belong to the league of musicians that I&#8217;m talking about, then this lesson is for you and we&#8217;ll be starting out with the analysis of the <em>Chord of the Day<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>The Chord Of The Day &#8212; <em>Analyzed<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s NOT enough to know that the <em>Chord of the Day <\/em>is the Db major triad and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re using this analysis to go beyond the superficial knowledge of the chord and the notes it&#8217;s made up of.<\/p>\n<p>There are four aspects of the Db major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;that we&#8217;d be analyzing in this lesson and the first one is the name. So, if you want to know why it&#8217;s called the Db major chord, then you have to give me your undivided attention.<\/p>\n<h3>Its Name<\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about it: <em>why is it called the Db major chord?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The <em>Chord of the Day <\/em>is associated with Db because the Db note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the root of the chord.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are three unique notes in chord (Db, F, Ab):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,Db,Ab,Db,F,Ab&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the root of the chord is the Db note and that&#8217;s why the name of the chord is derived from the name of the root note.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to go by what the lowest-sounding note in the <em>Chord of the Day\u00a0<\/em>is:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20457 size-full\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you&#8217;ll be mislead to think that F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the root note.<\/p>\n<p>So, Db is the root note of the <em>Chord of the Day <\/em>and although it&#8217;s not the lowest-sounding note, there&#8217;s a reason for that and we&#8217;ll talk about that shortly.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Now, We Know Why It&#8217;s Associated With Db, Why Is It A Major Chord?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Db major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is considered to be a major chord (in the first place) because of the distance (aka &#8211; &#8220;interval&#8221;) between the root note (which is Db) and the third tone (which is F):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe interval between Db and F is a <strong>major third<\/strong> interval and all chords that have a major third interval between the root note and third tone are generally classified as major chords.<\/p>\n<p>So, the major quality of the <em>Chord of the Day:<\/em><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is derived from the major third interval between its root note and third tone.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, we know it&#8217;s a Db major chord because its root is Db and its quality is major because of the major third interval between Db and F (which are the root and third tone respectively.)<\/p>\n<h3>Its Scale Source<\/h3>\n<p>The Db major chord is derived from an underlying scale.<\/p>\n<p>The underlying scale is the scale that creates a relationship between the notes of a chord. So, the underlying scale of the Db major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the scale that has all the tones (Db, F, and Ab) in it.<\/p>\n<p>The Db major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,Eb,F,Gb,Ab,Bb,C,Db,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the underlying scale and once you isolate the first, third, and fifth tones of the Db major scale, that&#8217;s the Db major chord.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not rocket science! It&#8217;s that easy!<\/p>\n<h3>Its Class Of Harmony<\/h3>\n<p>The distance between the successive tones of the Db major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are third intervals. From Db to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a third interval and we specifically called it a major third interval. Then from F to Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is also another third interval &#8212; the minor third interval.<\/p>\n<p>The formation of chords in third intervals produces what music scholars call tertian harmony (which is simply harmony in third intervals.)<\/p>\n<p>So, the Db major chord is a tertian chord.<\/p>\n<h3>Its Inversion<\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take another look at the chord of the day:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20457 size-full\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Db-major-chord-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><br \/>\nAlthough it&#8217;s the Db major chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,Db,Ab,Db,F,Ab&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the lowest-sounding note is not the Db note. We have the F note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as the lowest-sounding note.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing fully well that the Db major chord has three chord tones: Db, F, and Ab, it&#8217;s possible to have any of the chord tones as the lowest-sounding note per time.<\/p>\n<p>You can play the Db major chord with Db as the lowest-sounding note (aka &#8211; &#8220;bass note&#8221;):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,Ab,,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and other times, you can just decided to play it with Ab as the lowest-sounding note (aka &#8211; &#8220;bass note&#8221;):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Db,F,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nYou can also have F, just like we have in the <em>Chord of the Day<\/em>, as the lowest-sounding note (aka &#8211; &#8220;bass note&#8221;):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,Db,&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAll these varieties of bass notes creates inversions and in the case of the Db major chord with F on the bass:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,Db,Ab,Db,F,Ab&amp;color=0066CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;it&#8217;s called the first inversion of the Db major chord.<\/p>\n<p>So, instead of thinking that it&#8217;s an F chord because F is the bass note, we know it&#8217;s actually a Db major chord that is inverted or we can say <em>&#8220;its&#8217; a Db major chord with F on the bass&#8221; <\/em>or better still, we can say <em>&#8220;it&#8217;s the first inversion of the Db major chord.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Other Bass Notes Can Go With This Chord?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible to play the Db major ninth chord over other bass notes and for today, we&#8217;ll just cover these three bass notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Bb bass note<\/p>\n<p>The Eb bass note<\/p>\n<p>The Gb bass note<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s cover that
