sounds very catchy and I know you&#8217;ll want to know what these dominant chords are, how they can be applied, and most importantly, the rationale behind the term &#8220;backdoor&#8221; that is associated with these dominant chords.<\/p>\n<p>But before we venture into all of that, I&#8217;ll want to invest the next two minutes (or so) in refreshing your mind on dominant chords.<\/p>\n<h2>A Quick Review On Dominant Chords<\/h2>\n<p>The term <em>dominant <\/em>is attributed to the fifth tone of the scale in any key (be it a major or minor key.)<\/p>\n<p>So, the 5-chord in the major key is associated with the term &#8220;dominant&#8221; and 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=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the following chords (starting from the fifth tone [which is G]) are dominant chords:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The G major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,G,B,D,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe G dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,G,F,B,D,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe G dominant ninth chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,G,F,A,B,D,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe G dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,G,F,A,Cs,D,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><em>&#8220;Can I Tell You What Makes Dominant Chords Special?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Dominant chords are special because they are <em>generally <\/em>unstable, unpleasant, and dissonant.<\/p>\n<p>When played\/heard, dominant chords have the tendency to move to more stable chords and the movement of a dominant chord to a more stable chord is called resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are other known ways to resolve dominant chords, they generally resolve downwards by a fifth or upwards by a fourth.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the G dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,G,F,B,D,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;resolves to the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,C,E,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;that is a fifth below it.<\/p>\n<p>Dominant chords are good passing chord options in the major key, minor key, and with chromatic progressions as well.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;So, What&#8217;s A Backdoor Dominant Chord?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>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=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the 2-5-1 chord progression is given below:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 2-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,F,A,C,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,G,F,B,D,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,E,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The same 2-5-1 chord progression can also be approached from the &#8220;backdoor&#8221; and what it means is that a dominant chord that is a whole step below the 1-chord (which is the target chord) is used to replace the 5-chord.<\/p>\n<p>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=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a whole step below the root of the 1-chord (which is C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;so the Bb dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,Ab,D,F,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be used as a dominant chord to resolve to the 1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,E,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and this is what it means to resolve through the backdoor.<\/p>\n<p>Let me show you where the backdoor dominant chord is coming from.<\/p>\n<h3>The 7-Chord In The Parallel Minor Key<\/h3>\n<p>A parallel minor key shares the same tonic with a given major key. So, the minor key that shares the same tonic with the key of C major is the key of C minor:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC minor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The backdoor dominant chord is the scale tone chord of the 7th tone in the minor key (aka &#8211; &#8220;the 7-chord&#8221;.) In the key of C minor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the 7-chord consists of Bb, D, F, and Ab:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,D,F,Ab,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s the Bb dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,Ab,D,F,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is the backdoor dominant chord that resolves to the 1-chord in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,E,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Attention:<\/strong> Any chord that is derived from the parallel minor key is described as a borrowed chord. So, for all intents and purposes, the backdoor dominant chord is a borrowed chord from the parallel minor key.<\/p>\n<h3>The Relationship Between The &#8220;Front-door&#8221; And Backdoor Dominant Chords<\/h3>\n<p>The front-door dominant chord 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=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(which is the G dominant seventh chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;shares two notes in common with the backdoor dominant chord (the Bb dominant seventh chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,D,F,Ab,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s D and F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,F,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Attention:<\/strong> So, both chords share 50% of their tones in common.<\/p>\n<p>This explains why the backdoor dominant chord can perfectly fit in to where the &#8220;front-door&#8221; dominant chord can be applied.<\/p>\n<p>Also keep in mind that the seventh tone of the backdoor dominant chord (which is Ab):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Ab,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the b9 extension of the G dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s why the backdoor dominant chord sounds colorful.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>In a subsequent lesson, I&#8217;ll be teaching you the &#8220;backdoor chord progression&#8221; and I&#8217;m very certain that jazz and gospel music enthusiasts will love this one.<\/p>\n<p>In a backdoor chord progression, the backdoor dominant chord is preceded by a minor quality 4-chord and we&#8217;ll also be learning more about this preceding chord and how\/where it&#8217;s derived.<\/p>\n<p>But before then, keep mastering the backdoor dominant chord for any given 1-chord on the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>See you in the next lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you need to understand what the backdoor dominant chord is, where it&#8217;s derived, and how to form it in the major key, then this
