In Episode 3 of Chord of the Month, we are looking at a voicing for a dominant 7 (#9) chord. This is such a hip piano chord and it used in genres such as R&B, neo-soul & jazz.
The chord consists of the root note down on the bottom, along with the 3, 7 and #9 up in the right hand.
As with all dominant chords, this voicing creates tension which wants to be resolved to the 5th below.
It's worth practising this voicing in several different keys and also make an effort to substitute standard dominant 7 chords for this one.
If you have any questions, just leave a comment below.
