Greetings Fellow Readers,
Today is February 21,2011 and for today's music school we are going to be talking a little bit about the suspended chord or in others words the Ditone. We discussed a little bit about the Ditone and the suspended chord in a previous post. Here is the link: This Week's Music School: Ditone
Here is just a quick recap:
First off the ditone a.k.a di which means two is formed with a two note chord on the left hand and a suspended chord on the right.
Here is just a quick video showcasing the ditone and suspended chord in action
Essentially, in this video it's in the Key of C and it is formed the following way:
Left Hand/Right Hand
C-E/A-D-G
This chord is used primary as a one chord and is alot better than playing the regular C chord which is in the 3rd inversion of G-C-E.
I hear you readers so what I am going to do is breakdown all of the ditone chords with the suspendeds attached so that you can be able to use these chords immediately in all twelve keys.
