Understanding the theory behind chords, make sure to check out our course Jazz Theory Unlocked…Dominant 7 Chord Alterations – Understanding Chord VoicingsSo now that you have a subway-map, literally, of dominant chords in your brain, you should have a pretty easy time understanding how dominant chord voicings are constructed and why there seem to be so many different “flavors” of a dominant seventh chord.A chord voicing is that mysterious group of notes that the piano, guitar, or any other “chording” instrument is playing behind you while you’re soloing. The act of playing these chord voicings in succession as in a chord progression is called “comping”.The thing is, when someone is comping, it’s up to them what specific chord voicings they use. Sure, the jazz standard you’re playing may specify certain chords, but it’s largely up to the comping instrument to interpret the chords in the moment and respond accordingly depending upon where they hear the music heading.For example, over a dominant 7 chord heading to the tonic, they might add a b9, or #11. Or they might play a natural 9 with a #5.It sounds complex, but when you break it down, it’s really not.Let’s take a look at how easy it is to construct a dominant 7 chord voicing with some alterations.It all goes back to two things:Which notes you include/omit in the chord voicing – In our examples, we’ll include: 1, 3, 7, 9, 13What order you play the notes in – In our examples we’ll make the order: 1, 7, 9, 3, 13We’ll construct three different dominant seventh chord voicings.In all of our chord voicings we will include the root, the 3rd, and the 7th along with either a natural or altered version of the 9th and 13th.By keeping the voicing in the same structure but gradually

Three of these voicings sound quite different, but are still dominant chords?Now for this sound, jazz theory calls for the altered scale because it contains the b13/#5. But, just as I said before. Know the theory but also know that there are plenty of other ways to think about and play over this sound.Remember. It’s a SOUND. That’s right, a sound is going on behind you while you improvise. A scale choice does its best job to guide you to the strong notes of the voicing, however, by conceptually knowing and having the ability to hear the chord voicing, you can craft lines that are structured around the chord-tones in the voicing without relying so heavily on jazz scale or theoretical knowledge.And if you really want to get into hearing the specifics of chord voicings, The Ear Training Method goes through a ton of them in a systematic way.Sometimes there are things that no matter how many times somebody tells them to you, they’re still confusing…The solution: find a totally different way to conceptualize the information. And when it comes to jazz improvisation, visuals can help explain relationships to us and give us a better idea of what’s happening, whether it be harmonic, melodic, or even rhythmic.It’s my hope that the diagram I’ve shared with you today sheds some light onto the mysterious altered dominants for you.Spend some time with the subway-map of dominant 7 alterations and make sure you’re seeing all the information that’s there. Then:Work through the first diagram in all keys – Try writing it out in another key, or just saying the notes aloud in a new keyQuiz yourself on quickly knowing what the alterations are for every dominant chord. Start with the b9 and work through all the alterations in all keys. Our Visualization Course
