The Neapolitan 6th Chord and How To Apply It🎸A Very Cool Classical Device!

The Neapolitan Sixth chord is a Classical Harmonic device which can be used to create variation on the ii-V-I movement. It is similar to some common Jazz harmonic devices which we will discuss.

An early predecessor of the 'Tritone substitution' the Neapolitan 6th can be thought of as a 'Flattened Supertonic in its 1st inversion'. We use this definition as a learning platform upon which we can cover the classical labelling system, chord inversion and how to apply all of this in your own playing.

couldn't one say that its actually the triton that generates this kind of tension and movement in tonality we came in different moments to call either as a Napolitan chord or as a Vdim7 chord?! but in the first case it is not present and would act only as something hidden?
