chords

> Hi, Ya'll
> I'm back again. Regarding Neil's question: There are a number of
> very different chords available within one harmonic series. While the
> most familiar would be the 4/5/6 or major chord, there are also the
> extensions of of 4/5/6/7, 4/5/6/7/9, 4/5/6/7/9/11, etc. also, if you use
> the higher harmonics without the "roots" of 4/5/6 you can get completely
> different sounds. For instance, 6/7/9 produces a subminor triad on the
> dominant. 7/9/11 is a completely different sound: sort of an augmented
> chord that could be either an extention of the fundamental tonality or a
> component of mode 7, 9 or 11. You can play any 3 or four higher harmonics
> together that are either all odd or all even (alternating) to get very
> unusual yet very resonant chords, up to about the 20/22 area where the
> tones become seconds rather than thirds. All this on One fundamental!
> Change fundamentals and it starts all over again!
