But before we go into that, let&#8217;s do a quick review on dominant chords.<\/p>\n<h2>A Quick Review On Dominant Chords<\/h2>\n<p><strong><\/strong>To understand the term <em>dominant chord<\/em> it is important that we break down the following terms:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dominant<\/p>\n<p>Chord<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>A Breakdown On The Term <em>Dominant<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>There are eight degrees in every key and this can be outlined by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/these-are-traditional-scales-learn-how-to-play-them\">traditional scale<\/a> of that key. For example, in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;there are eight degrees, and this can be seen in the scale of the key of C major which is the C natural major scale:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This eight degrees have their respective technical names, and they are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The first degree is the <em>tonic<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The second degree is the <em>supertonic<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The third degree is the <em>mediant<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The fourth degree is the <em>subdominant<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The fifth degree is the <em>dominant<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The sixth degree is the <em>submediant<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The seventh degree is the <em>subtonic<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The eight degree is the <em>octave<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the technical names mentioned above, you can clearly see that the term dominant is basically used by music scholars to describe the fifth degree of a scale. Hence, the fifth degree in every key (whether a major or minor key) is known as the <strong>dominant.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Quickly, Let&#8217;s Define The Term Chord&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A chord is a collection of three or more related notes (agreeable or not) that are played [or heard] together.<\/p>\n<p>Although a chord can be understood as a collection of three or more notes, what matters most is the relationship between its notes. It is the <strong>scale<\/strong> and <strong>intervallic<\/strong> relationship between the collection of three or more notes that determine if a chord is formed or not.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the G dominant seventh chord (which consists of G, B, D and F):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is related by the G mixolydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,C,D,E,F,G&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe tones of the G dominant seventh chord which are G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,F&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;respectively, are the first, third, fifth, and seventh tones of the G mixolydian scale.<\/p>\n<p>And also it is important to note the intervallic relationship between the notes which are basically in third intervals.<\/p>\n<p>From G to B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a third interval.<\/p>\n<p>From B to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a third interval, and from D to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,F&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is also a third interval.<\/p>\n<p>Summarily, it is the relationship between three or more notes that determine if a chord is produced or not.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Altogether&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A dominant chord can be defined as a collection of three or more related notes, founded on the fifth degree of a scale.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the key of D major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,Fs,G,A,B,Cs,D&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;all the chords founded on the fifth degree of the scale which is A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are classified as dominant chords.<\/p>\n<h3>Classification Of Dominant Chords According To Width<\/h3>\n<p>Dominant chords can be classified according to width, and there are basically three classes of dominant chords in the classification of dominant chords according to width.<\/p>\n<p>#1. Dominant triads<\/p>\n<p>#2. Dominant seventh chords<\/p>\n<p>#3. Extended dominant chords<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dominant triads<\/strong> are basically major triads of the fifth degree, consisting of three tones &#8211; a root, third, and fifth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dominant seventh chords<\/strong> are chords formed on the fifth degree of a scale that encompass an interval of a seventh. For example, the G dom7 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;encompass seven scale degrees of the G mixolydian scale from G to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,C,D,E,F&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nOur focus in this lesson is on <strong>extended dominant chords<\/strong>. Therefore, we&#8217;ll be dedicating the rest of this lesson to it.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Is An Extended Dominant Chord?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Extended dominant chords are dominant chords whose widths exceed the compass of one octave. For example, beyond the dominant seventh chord, lies other bigger chord classes like ninths, elevenths, and thirteenths.<\/p>\n<p>These are chords that exceed the compass of an octave. Consequently, they are classified as extended dominant chords because they contain extensions (which are bigger intervals) like ninths, elevenths, and thirteenths.<\/p>\n<p>There are two classes of extended dominant chords; altered and unaltered. Let&#8217;s briefly consider them before we proceed.<\/p>\n<h3>Unaltered Vs Altered Extended Dominant Chords<\/h3>\n<p>When the ninth or the fifth tone of a chord is raised or lowered, this produces chromatic variants of that extended dominant chord, and these chromatic variants are generally classified as altered chords because of the chord tones that are modified.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s A Quick Example Using The G dom9 Chord&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the alteration of the G dom9 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F,A&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we&#8217;re basically raising or lowering the fifth and ninth tones.<\/p>\n<p>In the G dom9 chord (which consists of G-B-D-F-A):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F,A&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;raising the fifth (which is D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by a half step (to D#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Ds&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and raising the ninth (which is A):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,A&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by a half step (to A#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,As&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the G altered chord &#8211; the G dom7#9#5 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,Ds,F,As&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like I said earlier, there are two classes of dominant chords; the unaltered dominant chords and the altered dominant chords. Although there are a variety of altered chords which we&#8217;re not going to cover in this lesson because of time constraint. I&#8217;ll recommend that you read this previous lesson on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/ten-altered-chord-voicings\">altered chords<\/a> before you proceed.<\/p>\n<p>Having established that there are two classes of extended dominant chords, permit me to show you one key factor to consider before playing extended dominant chords.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Consider Before Playing Extended Dominant Chords<\/h2>\n<p>Although dominant chords are basically used as passing chords, when it comes to extended dominant chords, there is a key factor to consider before an extended dominant chord can be applied. Here you are:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Altered chords resolve to minor chords, while unaltered chords resolve to major chords.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;Pay Attention To This&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The regular resolution of G dominant chords is to C chords (whether in the major or minor key.)<\/p>\n<p>If an altered chord is played over G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;for example the G dom7#9#5 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,Ds,F,As&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;it will resolve to a C minor chord. Let&#8217;s say a C min9 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,Bb,D&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or C min11 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,Bb,D,F&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br br=\"\" \/> While the unaltered dominant chord, for example the G dom9 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F,A&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;would resolve to the C maj9 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,D&amp;color=6666CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>So unaltered chord resolve to major chords, while altered chords resolve to minor chords. That&#8217;s the key factor to consider while playing extended dominant chords.<\/p>\n<p>So before you play an extended dominant chord, be sure that you know where you are resolving to. Are you resolving to major or a minor chord.<\/p>\n<p>If you are resolving to a major chord, I guess you know the actual chord to use, whereas if you&#8217;re resolving to a minor chord, I&#8217;m sure you know the actual chord to use.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll see you in the next lesson. All the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out the key factor that determines how extended dominant chords are
