LESSON 5 NEAPOLITAN SIXTH Ø The Neapolitan 6 th chord is a chromatic, flattened supertonic chord , written in its 1st inversion and distinct in its sound. The image on the left displays the second scale degree chord as it appears in a minor scale, a diminished chord, and on the right, the same chord but as a lower second scale degree in 1 st inversion. https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/chapter/bii6/#:~:text=The%20Neapolitan%20sixth%20%28%E2%99%ADII6%29%20%28%E2%99%AD%20I%20I%206%29,of%20a%20iio6%20i%20i%20o%206%20chord .

ENTRY 9 THE 7th CHORDS Part 1 * The 7th chord is made-up of an additional note above the triad, the notes arranged with an interval of a third between them. The distance between each third determines the chord quality. There are five types of 7th chord qualities that I will explain along with how they are arranged. * Beginning with the ' major minor 7th', this is also the dominant 7th chord, it is identified as Mm7 or by using the 'letter name' of the root note before the number 7, e.g. C7. From the root note, this chord has a major triad and a minor 7th. This chord is diatonic of the 5th degree in major-scales and also the 5th degree in minor-scales . * The 'major, major 7th' chord is identified as Maj7 or by using the 'letter name' of the root note before with M7. This chord has a major triad and a major 7th from the root. This chord is diatonic of the 1st and 4th degree in major-scales and the 3rd and 6th degree in minor-...
