Dissonant Intervals: 2nds, 7ths, & The TriTone

Dissonent-Intervals

The distance between two notes is called an Interval. There are twelve notes in the chromatic scale which creates twelve possible intervals.

Let’s take a look at the most dissonant or harsh sounding intervals. They are the major and minor second; the major and minor seventh; and the tritone.

Each interval is shown as it appears on the piano. Then it is shown on the guitar neck in two ways.
