Tension In Music - Exciting Chords Tutorial

Описание: https://www.freejazzlessons.com/premium/ Learn how to increase tension in music using simple chord reharmonizations. In all great art there is a beautiful balance of tension in release. Sometimes we have very tense moments and sometimes we have a more tranquil and peaceful moments.

As musicians, it's important that we learn how to create these emotional moments for our listeners. Being able to create tension in music and release in music is one of the best skills we can have.

In this free piano chords tutorial we explore one way you can decorate a basic dominant 7th chord. Instead of just playing a rudimentary and bland G7 chord the whole time, I show you how you can create some interesting inner voice motion through this same chord.

So, instead of just painting with 1 sound the whole time over that particular jazz harmony, you're taking your listener on a journey.

Instead of just G7 for the whole bar we play G7sus, G7, G7alt, and then G7 altered with 2 extensions of the chord on there.

In essence this is all G7 but each time we play or progress the harmony forward the tension in music gets more intricate.

Eventually we resolve back to our basic I chord (in this case Cmaj7) but first we ramp up the tension to get there.

The chord progression I feature in this video is a I VI ii V I. In the key of C those chords are Cmaj7, A7, Dm7, G7, Cmaj7.

This is a very common jazz chord progression. In chord progressions that are common you'll want to constantly find new and exciting ways to add tension in music. Otherwise your run the risk of boring your audience.

When you consistently find moments in your own music to create these interesting harmonic moments your listeners will be on the edge of their seats.

That's because you can use techniques like this on every type of chord. Whether it be a major chord, minor chord, dominant chord, half diminished 7th chord, diminished 7th chord, etc. etc., there are always things that you can do to increase the tension in music.

Players like Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett are masters of these inner voice motion concepts.
