    A tension is an extra note added to a chord that is not part of the basic chord structure. There are two ways to add tensions: 1) add any diatonic note from the key to the chord as long as it sounds good, and 2) add notes between the basic chord tones like the 9th (2nd octave), 11th (4th octave), or 13th (6th octave).

    Chord tensions

    A tension is an extra note in a chord that is not a basic part of the chord. Think of it
    like a decoration; it adds character but not substance. There are two ways to determine
    what tensions will work on a chord. The first is to add any diatonic note from the key
    into the chord, so long as it sounds acceptable to you.

    How do you make tension chords?
    A cadence is usually the last two chords of a progression. For example, a song in G
    major might end with the chords D7 G. That's a very predictable cadence. But you
    can create a pleasant build in tension by ending a phrase on a less-common chord: G
    C D7 Em for example, or perhaps G C D7 C.13.09.2011 г.

    How do I choose a chord extension?
    The easiest way to understand chord extensions is to think of them as the notes in
    between the basic structural chord tones: the 2nd, 4th, and 6th. The 9th is the same as
    the 2nd, just up an octave. The 11th is the same as the 4th, up an octave. The 13th is the
    same as the 6th, up an octave.25.08.2017 г.

    How do you resolve a chord progression?
    To resolve this chord to our consonant tonic chord of C, move the B up half a step,
    move the F down half a step, and move the G down a 5th to C. We are resolving the
    dissonant tritone outward by half-step to our consonant tonic chord. So, that's
    essentially where your resolution definition is coming from.17.12.2012 г.

    What two chords from any scale are commonly used to create a strong sense of tension
    release?
    But there's another principle at work here; these chords are built on the first and fifth
    notes of the scale (F and C). You can call these chords the 1 and 5 chords,
    respectively. Chord progressions that alternate between 1 and 5 create a strong
    sense of departure and arrival, tension and release.

    I chord - I, I, I, I.
