Stacked Chords

in

General

– about Playing a rather Standard Chord with a Stacked Dissonant Chord together (or Vice Versa)

– a Technique to Create Bigger Chords

– Try on different Octaves as well

– Chords Stacked at the Interval of Major 3rds have a “Moving” Relation between Consonance and Dissonance 

– Changing One Note Changes Degree of Dissonance

Examples Stacked Chords

Examples Major 3rd Stack

B +  G

B-Eb-F# – G-D

C + Ab + E

c e g ab b  (cmaj7/b13)

in D = d

Examples Minor 3rd Stack

Em/Ab

e g b ab c eb 

G/Ebm

g b d eb gb bb

Examples Major and Minor 3rds Stacks

C E G# B/D F# Bb D

C Eb G Bb/D F# A C#

F A C# E/G bb D F

Ab C E/Ab B D Gb Bb

Examples 3rds and 2nds Stacks

C E G B/Db Eb F G A

C Eb F Ab B/Db E F#

Eb G A Db/E F# A B

F G A C/E F# G# B

Examples 3rds and 4ths Stacks

F Bb Eb/Gb B D F

F B E/G C Eb Gb

Ab Db F/Ab Db Gb A

Examples 2nds Stacks

G A B Db/D_Natural Eb Gb Ab

G# A B/Db Eb F

D E Ab/Bb Eb F

Examples Twelve Tone

Left Hand 

– F#, Ab, Bb, D, E, F

– means to Play 6 Chromatic Scale Notes together with the Left Hand 

– use the Thumb to Press 2 Notes simultaneously (in this Example E and F)

Right Hand 

– B, C, D, Eb, G, A

– means to Play 6 Chromatic Scale Notes together with the Right Hand 

– use the Thumb again to Press 2 Notes simultaneously (in this Example B and C)

Examples Dissonant Combos

Middle Dissonant

C, E, F#, B 

– No “G” but the “B” as the Dissonant M7 Major 7 from C

– plus a also very Close Major 2nd from E to F#

D, Eb, G, C 

– a Minor2nd Interval from D to Eb

– plus a rather Close 4th from G to C 

– such a Interval may also serve as a “Bite” to a Passage without Counting as too much Dissonant

F, Gb, B, E 

– a Minor2nd Interval from F to Gb

– plus a rather Close 4th from B to E 

More Dissonant

G, D, F#, Ab 

– three Consecutive Notes F#, G, Ab, where F# is the Flatted 9th and Ab is the Minor 2nd

– G is Played a Octave below in this Example

D, Eb, F, Gb 

– two Close Minor 2nd Intervals together

D, Eb, A, Bb  

– two Minor 2nd Intervals together

– plus is the A is a Augmented 4th from Db away

A, Eb, E, Bb 

– two Minor 2nd Intervals together

– plus is the Bb a Flatted 9th away from the A

– try this also Octave Lower
