How to Use “Wrong” Notes Creatively - Intervals Music Theory

Learn how to take the most unstable intervals in music – minor 2nds, tritones, major 7ths & minor 6ths – and turn them into lush, usable chords.


In this lesson:


* Why certain intervals sound tense

* Adding “resolution” notes to balance the sound

* Building major 7♭5, minor (maj7), 7♯9 & Phrygian voicings

* Tritone substitutions for smooth resolutions

* Using flat 6 for augmented & modal flavours


Perfect for pianists, composers & arrangers looking to add emotional depth and harmonic colour.
