If you’re interested in knowing the magic number that unlocks all passing chord, then this lesson is for you.<\/p>\n

Passing chords have a common place in music styles such as gospel and jazz because of the variety, activity, anticipation, and so on; that they add to regular chord progressions. That’s reason why any serious musician should not leave home without them.<\/p>\n

Although it’s good to memorize tons of passing chords, one of the greatest things that can happen to any intermediate gospel or jazz musician is learning the secret to how passing chords are created.<\/p>\n

The Concept Of Passing Chords – Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n

Any chord that is used to connect two or more scale tone chords is a passing chord. However, it’s important to note that passing chords are foreign to the key (aka – “chromatic”) and also sound unstable.<\/p>\n

Passing chords, when played, have the tendency of moving to scale tone chords that are more stable.<\/p>\n

For example, the chord progression from the first tone of the scale to the sixth tone of the scale in the key of C major:
\n
\n…progresses from the C major ninth chord:
\n
\n…to the A minor ninth chord:
\n
\nA passing chord can be added in between both chords to add more energy and activity to the chord progression.<\/p>\n

If the E dominant seventh [sharp nine, sharp five] chord:
\n
\n…is applied as a passing chord to the A minor ninth chord:
\n
\n…this adds anticipation, motion, activity, energy, and so on, to the chord progression.<\/p>\n

“Check It Out…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Using the first line of the regular gospel song Thank You Lord<\/em>, here’s how the passing chord can be applied:<\/p>\n

Thank<\/em> (C major ninth):
\n
\nYou<\/em> (E dominant seventh [sharp nine, sharp five]):
\n
\nLord<\/em> (A minor ninth):
\n
\n“Here’s How The Same Line Sounds Without The Passing Chord…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank<\/em> You <\/em>(C major ninth):
\n
\nLord<\/em> (A minor ninth):
\n
\nAt this point, I believe you can see the difference passing chords make in chord progressions and songs. Therefore, let’s proceed into learning how they are formed.<\/p>\n

Quick Review Of Dominant Chords<\/h2>\n

Music scholars have technical names for every tone of the scale.<\/p>\n

The first tone is the tonic<\/p>\n

The second tone is the supertonic<\/p>\n

The third tone is the mediant<\/p>\n

The fourth tone is the subdominant<\/p>\n

The fifth tone is the dominant<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sixth tone is the submediant<\/p>\n

The seventh tone is the subtonic<\/p>\n

The eighth tone is the octave<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The term dominant<\/em> is basically a technical name used to describe the fifth tone of the scale. So, the the term dominant is synonymous with any of the following:<\/p>\n

Fifth<\/p>\n

Five<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For example, dominant chords are basically chords that are formed on the fifth tone of the scale (whether triads, seventh chords, or extended chords). For example, in the key of C major:
\n
\n…where G is the fifth tone of the scale:
\n
\nAll scale tone chords in the key of C major, that have G as their root are classified as dominant chords.<\/p>\n

The Importance Of Dominant Chords<\/h3>\n

Dominant chords are active chords.<\/p>\n

The term active <\/em>here refers to chords that have the tendency to move to more stable chords when played. For example, when the G dominant seventh chord is played:
\n
\n…it has a high degree of activity, which is measured by its tendency to move to a more stable chord. Consequently, dominant chords are used as passing chords to scale tone chords because of their level of activity.<\/p>\n

Heck, most songs end by the movement of chord 5 (aka – “the dominant chord”) to chord 1.<\/p>\n

Do You Know The Magic Number That Unlocks All Passing Chords?<\/h2>\n

What if I told you that there’s a magic number that can unlock all passing chords? I know you’ll do everything to have it right?<\/p>\n

Well, the good news is that there is a magic number that unlocks all passing chords and that number is:<\/p>\n

Five<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s go ahead and see how helpful fifths can be in the formation of passing chords.<\/p>\n

Exploring The Power Of A Fifth Interval<\/h3>\n

The corresponding passing chord for a particular scale tone chord is always a fifth above it.<\/p>\n

For example, the passing chord to the C major seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a fifth above it. Due to the fact that a fifth above C:
\n
\n…is G:
\n
\nSo, G dominant chords could be used as passing chords to the C major seventh chord, which include (but is not limited to) the G dominant triad:
\n
\n…the G dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…the G dominant ninth chord:
\n
\n…and more.<\/p>\n

Irrespective of the quality of chord given, the corresponding passing chord is always a fifth above it.<\/p>\n

Another example of a passing chord is the passing chord to the Eb minor seventh chord:
\n
\n…which is a fifth above it. Due to the fact that a fifth above Eb:
\n
\n…is Bb:
\n
\nSo, Bb dominant chords could be used as passing chords to the Eb minor seventh chord, which include (but is not limited to) the Bb dominant triad:
\n
\n…the Bb dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…the Bb dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…and more.<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

What you just learned in this lesson would help you create passing chords to any scale tone chord in any key.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, anyone who knows the magic number (five) and how to form dominant chords<\/a> can create passing chords.<\/p>\n
