Why are a CMaj and CMaj6 (or CMaj7 and CMaj9) so similar? I think it's because of harmonic function. This sets the requirement at 3 notes to create a definite chord: the 1st to establish the root, and the 3rd & 5th to define the chord quality. But we need the root, too, so that we know which notes are the 3rd and 5th. What is this most fundamental difference? The 3rd and 5th. This suggests layers of distinction, and at the bottom lies some 'most fundamental' way of distinguishing chords. The difference between CMaj and CMaj6 is much less than the difference between CMaj and Cmin. If someone were to ask, "what's that chord?" or "what's that harmony?" we could answer with varying degrees of specificity. I think that above those three notes, it would be much more difficult to add in notes and actually create the impression of altering the harmonic progression, instead I think it would just end up being colored with extended harmonies. That third note would have the effect, I believe, in solidifying a harmonic progression that was otherwise ambiguous. However you could easily disrupt that by adding in a third note (Easy Jazz Bach transcriptions for Classical guitar :) ). I would say that two notes can establish a harmonic progression just fine, just listen to any beginner Bach transcription for classical guitar and you can hear it. A - E - G would probably make me think of A7. I would argue this is ambiguous because by itself it probably would make me hear an e minor harmony if it was spelled out low E high G (somewhere). It seems to me that, since three notes are required to spell out a chord, that would be the reason for the ambiguity. I'm also thinking to myself that probably most (but not all) calls esp. So the question is, if we were to listen to melodies from other cultures say 3 or 5 thousand years ago, a) could we put chords to them and b) would the singers respond by saying "that is exactly what the song is meaning, you've just completed it"? I'm sure there's some ingenious musician out there who could or will write a two part "harmony" that at times makes the "third note" implicit or at other times takes you places you were completely unsuspecting of, that couldn't have been done with three notes.Īnother fundamental question to ask: were chords invented, or discovered? We can assume that melodies came to humans first, and then harmony and chords. In a similar post we discussed here, chords (whether 2 or 3 or more notes) are contextual. This is a self-fulfilling question in the sense that we already "define" harmony (implicitly) in terms of 3-, 4- or sometimes 5-note chords. There is no scientific reason why three notes are required to create an unambiguous harmony.
