Title: A Question about TriTones
Post by: gospeltime15101 on December 19, 2009, 04:17:36 PM
Is it possible that 1 chord can have 2 or more tritones?  If so, how do you find the other combinations?

yeah every chord can have atleast two. Invert the tritone to get the 2nd one.
Then I  some people go up/down a whole step to get a 3rd.

Yeah, the diminished 7th chord is made up of 2 tri-tones.  Example:

Cdim7 = C-Eb-Gb-A or C-Eb-Gb-Bbb

C-Gb is a tri-tone
Eb-A or Eb-Bbb is a tri-tone

I don't know of a chord yet that can have 3 tri-tones in it, but I'll be on the lookout for it.
