But before we get started, let&#8217;s refresh our minds on what passing chords are.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On Passing Chords<\/h2>\n<p>A passing chord is usually a chromatic chord that precedes a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/how-to-determine-the-scale-degree-triads-in-any-major-key\">scale-degree chord<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The term chromatic means <em>colorful <\/em>and is used in this case to describe a chord that is foreign to any given key. 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=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a typical 6-2 chord progression entails a chord progression from the A minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,A,C,E,G,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the D minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,A,C,D,F,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nHowever, if the D minor seventh chord (which is a scale-degree chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,A,C,D,F,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is preceded by the A dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,As,Cs,E,G,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe A dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord (which is a chromatic chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,As,Cs,E,G,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is functioning as a passing chord to the D minor seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,A,C,D,F,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIn a nutshell, passing chords are chords that are foreign to the prevalent key that are played or heard before scale-degree chords.<\/p>\n<h2>Passing Chords Are Used To Imply A Modulation<\/h2>\n<p>Passing chords are used in harmony to establish or contradict a key and sometimes, to imply a modulation.<\/p>\n<p>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=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the use of passing chords can contradict the key. An example of such passing chords is the C dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,C,E,G,Bb,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA chord progression from the C dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,C,E,G,Bb,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to chord four (the F major ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,,C,E,G,A,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;contradicts 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=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and implies a modulation to the key of F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E,F,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe chord progression from the C dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,C,E,G,Bb,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the F major ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,,C,E,G,A,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;implies a 5-1 chord progression in the key of F major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E,F,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, passing chords are used to imply a modulation.<\/p>\n<h2>Passing Chords Are Used To Add Tension And\/Or Increase Activity<\/h2>\n<p>Jazz and gospel musicians use passing chords to add tension and\/or increase activity in a chord progression.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in a chord progression from the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,C,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the G major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we can add tension to the progression by the introduction of passing chords. The D dominant ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,Fs,A,C,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be played before the G major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and this adds tension to the chord progression.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check It Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,C,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe D dominant ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,Fs,A,C,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe G major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhen the chords are played\/heard in a progression, the tension of the D dominant ninth can be felt and its resolution into the G major triad.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In The Same Vein&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The E dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,Gs,B,D,F,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the A dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,G,Bb,Cs,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be played before the D dominant ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,Fs,A,C,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Check It Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,C,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe E dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,Gs,B,D,F,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe A dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,G,Bb,Cs,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe D dominant ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,Fs,A,C,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe G major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nIn the progression above, the origin of the progression is the C major seventh:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,C,E,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;while the destination of the progression is the G major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=FFDAB9&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAll the passing chords coming in-between:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The E
