The DOMINANT chord and its EXTENSIONS, VOICING & TENSIONS (4 of 6)
Channel: Jason Zac - Nathaniel School of Music
Date: 2021-03-30

In PART 4 of our 6-part series of Exploring the “Minor Chord Progression”, we work on the Dominant chord in the progression. It is the chord that has the most amount of colouring possibilities. We first extend the chord to create the Dominant 7th (1 3 5 7b) and then learn how properly voice the chords. After which, we explore various tensions and substitutions using the Dominant chords.
