The easiest dissonant "chord" would be something like a V7 (let's say G7 in Cmajor) which uses the 7th interval as the dissonant, leading tone to guide the ear back to I. Essentially, you are looking at VII and II as being your predominantly dissonant intervals, while III and VI will be harmonic.
You give an example of a Dm with an E in the melody, and your solution is to hit the G chord a beat early. Man, WHY? The timing of the piece depends more on the G chord being there! Not to mention that the E is more dissonant as the 13th of G than the 9th of Dm. You're tackling a non-existant problem by mangling the music! And the tritone...
Dissonant Chords on Guitar. Notes that are a semitone or tone away from each other (or the octave) are usually notes that create the kind of dissonance that becomes pleasing in chords. Let’s start by exploring the sound of a semitone (Minor 2nd), so you can hear the clash!
What happens is this, the A minor seven chord has the notes, A, C, E, G, the D seven chord, which is the next chord in the circle of fifths, while we're still in the key of G as the notes D, F sharp, A and C.
Harmonic Dissonance I: The Diminished Triad. Key Points. Here we learn how to work with a harmonic dissonance in a chord, starting with the diminished fifth as part of the leading tone diminished triad. Harmonic Dissonance: A chord tone which forms a dissonant harmonic interval in relationship to the root of the chord.
In most music a dissonance will resolve; it will be followed by a consonant chord that it naturally leads to, for example a G seventh chord resolves to a C major chord, and a D suspended fourth resolves to a D major chord.
- Harmony: Chords and How to Build Them Overview. Professor Wright explains the way harmony works in Western music. Throughout the lecture, he discusses the ways in which triads are formed out of scales, the ways that some of the most common harmonic progressions work, and the nature of modulation.
