If you’re interested in learning smarter ways to create passing chords, then this lesson is for you.<\/p>\n

The role of passing chords in harmony and chord progressions cannot be over-emphasized; especially in the aspect of creating tension, and adding activity to chord progressions.<\/p>\n

This lesson will reveal another smart way that passing chords can be formed to major and minor chords. All I need is your undivided attention for the next 10 minutes or so.<\/p>\n

Let’s get started by reviewing the concept of passing chords.<\/p>\n

A Quick Review On Passing Chords<\/h2>\n

Passing chords are chromatic chords that are used to connect two diatonic chords.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before we proceed, permit me to define the terms diatonic<\/em> and chromatic<\/em> for you. A diatonic chord is a chord of the prevalent key while a chromatic chord is a chord that is foreign to the prevalent key.<\/p>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…the C major seventh:
\n
\n…and D minor seventh:
\n
\n…are diatonic chords because they consist of notes in the key of C major.<\/p>\n

These two diatonic chords can be connected with the A dominant seventh chord:
\n
\n…which is a chromatic chord.<\/p>\n

The A dominant seventh chord is a chromatic chord because it is foreign to the prevalent key (which is the key of C major):
\n
\n…because there’s a C# tone in the A dominant seventh chord that is foreign to the key of C major.<\/p>\n

Application Of The Passing Chord<\/h3>\n

Let’s quickly demonstrate the application of passing chords in the gospel song I surrender all<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Example #1 – Without a passing chord<\/em><\/p>\n

I surrender (C major seventh):
\n
\nall (D minor seventh):
\n
\nExample #2 – With a passing chord<\/em><\/p>\n

I sur (C major seventh):
\n
\n…render (A dominant seventh):
\n
\nall (D minor seventh):
\n
\nThe passing chord (A dominant seventh) was used to connect two diatonic chords (C major seventh and D minor seventh)<\/p>\n

A Smarter Way To Form Passing Chords<\/h2>\n

Let’s quickly learn a smarter way to form a passing chord to major and minor chords respectively.<\/p>\n

A Passing Chord For Major Chords<\/h3>\n

The smartest way to form a passing to any major chord is to go down a half-step below the root of the major chord and form a half-diminished seventh chord.<\/p>\n

Let’s take two examples.<\/p>\n

Example #1 – Passing chord for the C major seventh chord<\/em><\/p>\n

The passing chord for the C major seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a half-diminished seventh chord that is a half-step below the root of the C major seventh chord.<\/p>\n

Now, a half-step below C:
\n
\n…is B:
\n
\nTherefore, the B half-diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a passing chord for the C major seventh chord:
\n
\nExample #2 – Passing chord for the E major seventh chord<\/em><\/p>\n

The passing chord for the E major seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a half-diminished seventh chord that is a half-step below the root of the E major seventh chord.<\/p>\n

A half-step below E:
\n
\n…is D#:
\n
\nTherefore, the D# half diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a passing chord for the E major seventh chord:

A Passing Chord For Minor Chords<\/h3>\n

Just like we did in major chords, you can go down a half-step below the root of any given minor chord and form a diminished seventh chord.<\/p>\n

Let’s take two examples.<\/p>\n

Example #1 – Passing chord for the C minor seventh chord<\/em><\/p>\n

The passing chord for the C minor seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a diminished seventh chord that is a half-step below the root of the C minor seventh chord.<\/p>\n

Going down a half-step below C:
\n
\n…takes you to B:
\n
\nTherefore, the B diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a passing chord for the C minor seventh chord:
\n
\nExample #2 – Passing chord for the G minor seventh chord<\/em><\/p>\n

The passing chord for the G minor seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a diminished seventh chord that is a half-step below the root of the G minor seventh chord.<\/p>\n

A half-step below G:
\n
\n…is F#:
\n
\nTherefore, the F# half diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…is a passing chord for the G minor seventh chord:
\n
\nLearn more about diminished seventh chords<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

The diminished and half-diminished seventh chords are easy to form and are always a half-step away from any minor and major chord respectively.<\/p>\n

As long as you can recall these chords, I guarantee that you’ll not run out of passing chords.<\/p>\n
