Some chords will change to sounding sweeter, some saltier, but in a total- like played in the intro &#8211; they can provide a very tasty overall sound. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>?<\/b><b>Tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about chords and chord accompaniment in Skoove\u2019s <\/span><strong>Intermediate 2 Course<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skoove.com\/en\/app\/course\/9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Chords &amp; Scales Course<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Harmonic Tension &amp; Friction <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if some of the extended chords may sound piercing to our ears when played on their own, in the harmonic context they can make perfect aural sense. I often compare the process of composing with cooking. Often a tiny bit of salt or chilly adds magnificently to the overall flavour, whereas a huge portion of these ingredients may taste very off-putting. It is the same with creating a harmonic journey. So I very consciously used some \u201csalt\u201d in the intro to the Heal the World &#8211; arrangement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u2018salt\u2019 inside the chords of the intro is undoubtedly the Am with an added F on top. In the score below and indicated in blue, you see the reason: The E and the F on top of the Am\/F chord add friction. Both notes played<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> together form the interval of a minor second, known as an interval of tension. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In harmonic context however, this friction is exactly what is making the <a href=\"\/blog\/chord-progressions-on-piano\/\">chord progression<\/a> sound so beautiful. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(The experts among you may argue, that this chord could be easier interpreted as an F major 7th chord, and I\u2019d agree, however the concept of friction remains the same.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1195 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-7.jpg 642w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-7-300x104.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>?Remember: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tension &amp; Release are the most fundamental drivers for harmonic progression in western music.

The notes are played in succession as quarter notes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even simple, this arpeggio already adds a rhythmic element to the intro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1194 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-8.jpg\" alt=\"chord arpeggio of the intro chords\" width=\"636\" height=\"144\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-8.jpg 636w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-8-300x68.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>?<\/b><b>Tip:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Play the arpeggiated chords on the piano.<\/span> <b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>IMPORTANT: Use the sustain pedal or every arpeggiated chord as indicated by the blue lines.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1193 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-9.jpg\" alt=\"chord arpeggio of the intro chords with sustain pedal\" width=\"643\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-9.jpg 643w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Heal-9-300x76.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surely arpeggios can rhythmically be more complex\u2026 the sky&#8217;s the limit.
