The fundamental chords of tonal music—major and minor triads and also seventh chords—all contain fifth intervals. Perfect fifths are contained in major and minor triads and in particular seventh chords (especially major-minor sevenths with dominant function, major sevenths, and minor sevenths).
The conventional "standard tuning" consists of perfect fourths and a single major third between the g and b strings: E-A-d-g-b-e' All-fifths tuning has the set of open strings C-G-d-a-e'-b' or G'-D-A-e-b-f ♯ ', which have intervals of 3 octaves minus a half-step between the lowest and highest string.

Its relative minor is E-flat minor (or enharmonically D-sharp minor). Its parallel minor, G-flat minor, is usually replaced by F-sharp minor, since G-flat minor's two double-flats make it generally impractical to use. Its direct enharmonic equivalent, F-sharp major, contains six sharps. The G-flat major scale is:
This chord might be notated Cm 6, Cm M6, Cmin/maj 6, Cmin (maj6), etc. Note that Cm 6 has the same notes as F 9 with the root omitted, i.e. the notes F (omitted), A, E ♭, C, and G. These notes form a tetrad with several enharmonic equivalents: C–E ♭ –G–A might be written as Cm 6, F 9, F 9 (no root), Am 7 ♭ 5, B 7 ♭ 9, A ♭ Maj7 ...
Goldman [5] concurs with Nattiez, who argues that "the chord on the fourth degree appears long before the chord on II, and the subsequent final I, in the progression I–IV–vii o –iii–vi–ii–V–I", and is farther from the tonic there as well. [6] (In this and related articles, upper-case Roman numerals indicate major triads while ...
In 12-tone equal temperament (12-ET), the minor sixth is enharmonically equivalent to the augmented fifth. It occurs in first inversion major and dominant seventh chords and second inversion minor chords. It is equal to eight semitones, i.e. a ratio of 2 8/12:1 or simplified to 2 2/3:1 (about 1.587), or 800 cents.
Augmented fifth on C. In Western classical music, an augmented fifth (Play ⓘ) is an interval produced by widening a perfect fifth by a chromatic semitone. [1] [3] For instance, the interval from C to G is a perfect fifth, seven semitones wide, and both the intervals from C ♭ to G, and from C to G ♯ are augmented fifths, spanning eight semitones.
