3. Chord Degrees
The Roman numerals to the left of the chord root indicate the chord degree.
4. Fourth Tone Extension
The notes in this column provide a fourth note to add to the triad chords to
create seventh chords.
5. Chord Name
This column shows the names of the four-note chords that are derived from each
mode.
6. Scale Degree and Extensions
This row indicates the scale degrees of the first octave and important extensions
beyond. The number on top indicates the extension. For example, in the key of
C melodic minor if we add the 9th to Fm7, we are adding a G. However,
because of the dissonance that is created by the G being only one step away
from the root, the extension is usually one of the higher notes of the chord. As a
rule of thumb, extensions should be notes of the second octave above the root.
