- Whats the difference between the tritone and the blue note?
A tritone is simply an interval of three tones So we can say that a note an interval of a tritone above the root could have the same frequency as a 'blue note' played between the fourth and fifth That's not to say that a tritone above the root is a blue fifth though - blue notes are more complex than that
- intervals - Why are tritones not consonant, confusion with the . . .
A tritone is exactly in the center of my 12 notes Stacking two tritones leads to an octave Adding 1 + 0 5 + 0 5 leads me to the next octave as well So why are tritones and fifths not the same? I mean, obviously they are not, but what is wrong about my understanding of the above definitions?
- theory - Why are diminished fifths called tritones? - Music: Practice . . .
A tritone is in fact an interval of three whole tones, so an augmented 4th A diminished fifth is not technically a true tritone (although it is the complementing interval of a true tritone), but enharmonically it is the same interval And this is sufficient for modern practise to consider a diminished fifth to be tritone

- How does any given major key contain only 1 tritone?
In the key of C major, for example, the tritone occurs between an F (the fourth scale-degree) and a B (the seventh scale-degree) Now, because there are 12 different major keys and only six different tritones, the tritones are doubled up: the same tritone will serve two different major keys So, what major key does C major share a tritone with?
