They are known to sound dissonant and discordant, and they are also known to have a sense of resolution. So when chords of the dominant family are played, they tend to resolve to more stable chords<\/p>\n<p>Altered chords are chords of the dominant family but they are said to be altered because a few chord tones are raised or lowered. So in simple terms, altered chords are chords that its pitches or chord tones are modified to make them adaptable to a related or foreign key.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the C dominant chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which consists of the C E G and Bb tones&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;can be altered by raising the fifth:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or lowering the fifth:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and also by raising the ninth:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ds,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or lowering the ninth:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAltered chords are dominant chords that contain chromatic tones. So there&#8217;s a little twist in the fifth which can be raised or lowered, and also on the ninth which can be raised or lowered.<\/p>\n<p>So there is no particular altered chord, even though the common altered chord that can be used is the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Dom7#5#9:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,Bb,Ds,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;but there other classes of altered chords.<\/p>\n<p>Check them out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Dom7#5b9:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,Bb,Db,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nDom7b5b9:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gb,Bb,Db,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Altered chords are useful in music because they resolve to minor chords.<\/p>\n<p>The Cdom7 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;resolves to the F major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,C,E,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,C,Eb,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBut for a stronger resolution to the F minor chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,Ab,C,Eb,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;using a C altered chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,Bb,Db,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;sounds a whole lot better.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Take A Look At This Progression&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A 3-6 chord progression in the key of Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the third and the sixth tones are C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;respectively.<\/p>\n<p>So using the C altered chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,Bb,Db,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is the Cdom7#5#9&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and resolving to Fmin11 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,Eb,G,Ab,C,&amp;color=0099CC&amp;size=2\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;&#8221;do you see how that sounded?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It sounded very beautiful. Rather going to the Fmin11 chord with the Cdom7 chord.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve talked about altered chords, let&#8217;s take this study to the next level by taking a look at right hand chords
