In any given key, just play the 1 and the 5 together and you&#8217;ve got yourself a power chord.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C major scale<br \/>\n<strong>C<\/strong> D E F <strong>G<\/strong> A B C<br \/>\n<strong>1<\/strong> 2 3 4 <strong>5<\/strong> 6 7\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But most people don&#8217;t stop at playing just &#8220;C + G.&#8221; They double up on the C, playing it on top as well: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;C + G + C.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So there&#8217;s a crash course on power chords.<\/p>\n<p>Now, at the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/heres-a-method-thatll-make-your-chords-more-powerful\">yesterday&#8217;s<\/a> lesson, I gave you some more variations of this &#8220;1+5+1&#8221; power chord. <\/p>\n<p>Here they are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If playing a major seventh, ninth, eleventh, or thirteenth chord, you can actually play &#8220;1 + 5 + 7&#8221; as a power chord on your left hand. Since the major 7 degree is found in these chords, it makes sense and sounds awesome!<\/li>\n<li>In C major, that&#8217;s &#8220;C + G + B&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>If playing a minor or dominant seventh, ninth, eleventh, or thirteenth chord, you can play &#8220;1 + 5 + b7&#8221; as a power chord on your left hand. Unlike the first variation, the seventh is lowered a half step to be more conducive to dominant and minor seventh chords, which both have lowered seventh notes in them.<\/li>\n<li>In C major, that&#8217;s &#8220;C + G + Bb.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So here&#8217;s where I want to introduce you to the power chord&#8217;s cousin&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Her name is <strong>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tritone<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;ll help you to play this &#8220;1 + 5 + b7&#8221; chord a lot more flavorful!<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the power chord which uses the 1 and the 5 to form a chord (some call it a <em>&#8220;dyad&#8221;<\/em> because it&#8217;s only 2 notes as opposed to 3), the tritone uses the 1 and b5. So it&#8217;s like a power chord with the fifth lowered.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nPower chord (example):<br \/>\nC + G<\/p>\n<p>Tritone (example):<br \/>\nC  + Gb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is also called a <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diminished fifth interval<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s another way to look at tritones. You can also look at them as the 3rd and b7 of any key.<\/p>\n<p>(I can just imagine you connecting the dots now&#8230; <em>hmmm, the &#8220;b7&#8221;<\/em>)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In C major:<br \/>\nC D <strong>E<\/strong> F G A <strong>B<\/strong> C<br \/>\n1 2 <strong>3<\/strong> 4 G 6 <strong>7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Turn the 7 into a b7 (that&#8217;s B into Bb) and there&#8217;s your tritone:<\/p>\n<p>E + Bb\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So where do you use it?<\/p>\n<p>Anytime you&#8217;re playing a dominant chord or some kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">altered chord<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> that is based on the dominant chord.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s why&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Check out the C dominant 7 chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C + <strong>E<\/strong> + G + <strong>Bb<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Do you see what I see?<\/p>\n<p>It has a tritone inside of it! The distance from &#8220;E&#8221; to &#8220;Bb&#8221; in the chord is the &#8220;3 + b7&#8221; interval we&#8217;ve been talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, instead of playing the power chord alteration from yesterday (1 + 5 + b7), you can play the &#8220;3 + b7&#8221; instead.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, you can switch off. Playing by ear is all about having OPTIONS. You can play the power chord first&#8230; then when the chord comes back around, you can play the tritone on your left hand the next time.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some other things you can do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 + b7<\/li>\n<li>1 + 3 + b7 (the only difference in this one is that you&#8217;re playing the &#8220;3&#8221; and not the &#8220;5&#8221; like you did in the power chord variation).<\/li>\n<li>3 + b7 + 3 (double up on the &#8220;3,&#8221; similar to the voicings taught in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/play-it-the-way-you-want-to-play-it-exploring-chord-voicings\">this lesson<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So now you&#8217;ve got the power chord, some <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">power chord variations<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script>, and the tritone under your finger tips! <\/p>\n<div class=\"productinfo\"><strong>Exercise:<\/strong> Let&#8217;s figure out all three tritone variations for the other 11 keys.
