A tritone is larger than a 4th, but smaller than a 5th.
Therefore, it can be thought of as a 4 that is sharp, or a 5 that is flat.
Theory Abbreviated
This lesson will provide the basics of chords and scales in an abbreviated format. If you would like to learn about these topics in greater detail, click HERE.
Intervals are the basic building blocks of music. The smallest interval is a half step which is the distance from one note to the nearest neighbor. The next larger interval is a whole step, which is equal to two half steps. The Major Scale is made of an alternating pattern of whole steps and half steps in the order Whole Whole Half, Whole Whole Whole Half.
