Major chord (D-major)
Added sixth (major)
Play the chord on the left a few times to establish the tonic. Then play the chord on the right and
see how it affects you. You can almost envision a mental image of being cuddled up next to a cozy
fire with someone you love, enjoying a sense of contentment and security.
Major chord (F-major)
Added sixth (major)
Here again, play the chord on the left to establish the key as a baseline. When you play the chord
on the right, something surprising will happen. Even though this is exactly the same chord as in the
previous example, its emotional impact has changed completely. The same notes no longer seem to
express warmth and comfort: they convey the very opposite, a sense of feeling lost.
