D, Eb, E, F, F#, G

This might not be a chord that you want to use in every song, but it can be useful to have a few very dissonant sound chords in your toolbox - even if its just to get the drummers attention!

As this chord contains 6 half steps rather than being built up in 3rds, it defies conventional chord descriptions and has no root note.

Well be look at some more dissonant chords in future posts but will return to some pleasing sounds in tomorrows chord of the day!
