Those are tritones buried in the chords. 7th becoming 3rds, 3rds becoming 7ths in Dominant 7th chords (formula 1,3,5,b7) of Harmonic progressions using dominant or secondary dominant 7 chords only. That's smooth voice leading. Rising 4ths or falling 5ths. Good stuff.
so.. tritone intervals can be inverted and and stay tritones. Like a when a perfect 5th is inverted it becomes a perfect 4th. A diminished 5th stays a diminished 5th when you invert it. (augmented 4th) a second becomes a 9nth 3rd - a 6th et cetera
this comment is for "Myoungejoe".....there are books all over the world on chord voicings, but people voice chords several ways...you can find a chord book in most music stores, or they can order one for you..i have one called "ultimate chords" over 1600 chords, and i have been blessed! chk it out! note~ jazz is broken theory; so you will have to specifically look for a jazz chord book! they arent traditional chords...lol god bless!
Bb is the sharped four or raised fifth in the EM scale....you have to know ya major scales to really grasp this understanding...i hope this helps all who are challenged in this area...
@algieres Bflat is the sharp fourth or flatted fifth of the E major scale You said raised fifth which would be a c note .the correct answer is sharp fourth or FLATTED Fifth which is the Bflat note
remember" noone says it like algieres" the premis of my teaching is to break things down to a way you can best be able to play and play with understanding!!!
the tri( as in 3 whole tones away either direction) deals with the distance or intervals between notes...its easier to understand the use of the tri tone; using chords. if we play a CM7, it involves the root(C), 3rd(E), and 7th(Bb), in the scale of C, the Bb is 3 whole tones away from the E, which makes the tri tone for C..
is there a book which these voicings are available?
Cuz my jazz teacher is teaching me the same type of voicings with the third and the 7th in the left hand moving in the circle of 4ths with a reoccuring right handed voicing and i think its from some type of theory book that im missing out on.
i was moving in fourths, which is to say, every fourth scale degree...example: f is four scales degrees foward, b flat is four scale degrees forward, so i was moving in fourths...now the tri tones involve the flatted seventh and the major third of the roots scale you happen to be in...example: c is root, bflat is flatted seventh, e is major third...
A tritone is not a sharp fourth or fifth - its simply a way of explaining the interval. it is simply the distance from the 3rd to the flat-seventh of a dominant seventh chord.
So in relation to the circle of fourths, if you play the dominant seventh of each fourth without the first and fifth notes on the left hand, you will have your tritone.
@jeropp00 Yes, thanks for explaining what a tritone really is. It's not a chord, a 4th or 5th like you said. However, I know this is going to sound crazy but I didn't think about the concept of playing tritones anywhere, it doesn't matter as long as the distance between the sharp 4 and first note is there. His first chord was a C maj. dominant 7. You could play an E flat triad with the right hand along with the 3rd to the flat-seventh, and the chord becomes a C min, flat7 or c maj 7 flat 9
@MaestroSounds1 Well an Eb dominant 7 over a C bass would be Cmin7 flat 9. I think the secret to creating them chords is looking for and extracting the 3rd and flat 7 from your chords and playing that on the left hand while playing the rest of the notes on the right. obviously there may be some trial and error :)
you are absolutly correct!!!!! thanks for telling me, i made a mistake, i meant to write that....thank god for people such as yourself, you make me better!!!!
Hi john, although not common, not traditional, yes, u can .

@algieres Nice teaching doc. I like the way you broke it down. FYI: Bb is the sharped four or FLATTENED fifth in E Maj scale. Not raised fifth. :-)
Thanks bro.

Question. you are playing the circle of fourths.corectly. However a tritone is a Sharp fourth or flatted fifth . could u please explain . Thanks.
