Can someone explain to me in layman terms the theory behind tritones
and can someone help me with the chords to creat in me a clean heart by Donnie McClurkin

A tritone is just two notes with six half steps between them.  So, if you play E then six half steps up and down is Bb.  So, the tritone is E-Bb  or Bb-E.  They are the same length apart so you can play it either way depending on what sound you like.

To add on a bit, andother way of always finding a tritone is to find your key, then play the third and the dominant seventh of that key.

Example: Key of C

Tritone is E and Bb

Key of Eb

Tritone is G and Db

That always helps me to find the tritone really quick.

Hope this helps

Be Blessed . . .
