“The Dominant 9th Chord

This chord can be played in “2-5-1” gospel chord progressions (other styles as well). Try it out:

“Eb9 Chord” (pronounced “E flat dominant ninth chord)

In the key of “Db major”:

Bass = Eb

Right hand = G + Bb + Db + F

Play this chord as a “lead-in” to an Ab chord. 90 percent of the time, it can be used in a “2-5-1” chord progression (that is, Eb — Ab — Db).

That’s it for now! I’ll see you tomorrow!
