This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about available tensions. A ‘tension’ is just an extra note you can add to a basic 7th chord. That is, Chord tones = 1, 3, 5, 7 Tension = 9, 11, 13 (or alterations of these – b9, #9, etc) Now, there are two types of tensions: Available tensions – extensions that complement the consonance of the chord Unavailable tensions – extensions that conflict with the consonance of the chord. That is, an extension that creates a dissonant interval with a chord tone. Specifically, an extension that creates flat 9 interval (i.e. 8av + Semitone) While in theory, all alterations and extensions exist on all chord types, in practice only ‘available tensions’ are used. For example, while a CMaj7b9 chord exists in theory, you will never find it in practice because a b9 is not an available tension over a Maj7 chord. The concept of ‘available tensions’ is similar to the concept of ‘avoid notes‘. Both relate to notes that create a dissonant interval with one of the chord tones, but ‘available tensions’ are in the context of chords and ‘avoid notes’ are in the context of scales. So if you’re playing a song and you want to extend or alter a particular chord to create a more complex harmony or jazzier sound, or if you’re reharmonising a song, make sure you use ‘available tensions’ – so that the chord extensions don’t clash with the underlying consonance and harmony of the chord.
