The only difference is the 7th degree is flatted. That gives you Bb instead of B. If this chord had &#8220;B,&#8221; it would be a C major 7 chord. Key point!<\/p>\n<p>Now, the only other thing you need to understand is:<\/p>\n<p># (sharp) means to <strong>raise<\/strong> by a half step.<br \/>\nb (flat) means to <strong>lower<\/strong> by a half step.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it. If you remember this, it&#8217;s hard to go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>And what is this chord asking us to do?<\/p>\n<p>Answer: To simply play a C dominant 7 but with a &#8220;raised 9th tone&#8221; and a &#8220;raised 5th tone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Because our underlying chord is <em>1 + 3 + 5 + b7<\/em> (if you spelled it out using numbers), we can start off with the easiest change &#8212; raising the 5th.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, if you want to be correct, when you raise something, you never change the alphabet letter.<\/p>\n<p>Since G is the 5th, we&#8217;re raising the G to G# (as opposed to using the favored &#8220;Ab&#8221; to describe this chord).<\/p>\n<p>Because &#8220;A&#8221; is the 6th tone, using &#8220;Ab&#8221; would be the equivalent of saying &#8220;b6&#8221; and this chord asked for #5. Even though G# and Ab yield the same sound, G# is the correct note because it is literally the 5th tone being raised.<\/p>\n<p>So the chord is now C + E + G# + Bb<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,E,Gs,Bb,&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re not done because this chord also needs a #9.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to simply add to the chord whatever the regular 9th would be.<\/p>\n<p>C is 1, D is 2, E is 3, F is 4, G is 5, A is 6, B is 7, C is 8, <strong>D is 9.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, &#8220;D&#8221;, in the next octave up, is the 9th. Simply add it to the chord.<\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,E,Gs,Bb,D&#038;color=&#038;size=2' border=0 \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re not done because this chord didn&#8217;t ask for the &#8220;regular&#8221; 9th&#8230; it needs the &#8220;raised 9th.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That gives us D#.<\/p>\n<p>Why not Eb? Because we&#8217;re looking to take the 9th tone, D, and raise it without changing the alphabet letter. So, we simply use D#.<\/p>\n<p>Side note: Professional musicians will say Eb or D#&#8230; same with the G# and Ab. At some point, at a practical level, it really doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re the type that just wants to play! But if you were taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox\/141e8f273f72a2%3A14dcc288eb46dc\/5650082896543744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">music theory <\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/my.leadpages.net\/leadbox-714.js\"><\/script> test or something (why would you???), then it would matter. But whether you say &#8220;I&#8217;m not going&#8221; or &#8220;I ain&#8217;t going&#8221;&#8230; the same idea is conveyed.
