Let’s explore these chord types.<\/p>\n
Dominant Thirteenth [Suspended Fourth] Chord<\/h2>\n
One of the passing chords that resolve to major chords is the dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord.<\/p>\n
The C dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,F,G,Bb,D,A,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…can be voiced using the Bb major seventh chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,D,F,A,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nPlaying the Bb major seventh chord:
\n
\n…over C (on the bass):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…produces the C dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,Bb,D,F,A,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord can be voiced by playing a major seventh chord a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
For example, the D dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord can be voiced by playing a major seventh chord that’s a whole step below the root (D):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n….(which is the C major seventh chord):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nThe C major seventh chord:
\n
\n…over D (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the D dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,C,E,G,B,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Suspended Fourth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above (or fifth below) its root. For example, the C dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above its root. A fourth above C:
\n
\n…is F:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nConsequently, the C dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to any F major chord, which may include any of the following:<\/p>\n
F major triad:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,F,A,C,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nF major seventh:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,F,A,C,E,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nF major ninth:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,,G,A,C,E,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nEvery other dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord on the keyboard can be resolved following the procedure above.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Dominant Seventh [Flat Ninth] Chord<\/h2>\n
The dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord is an amazing passing chord type that every serious pianist must know. Here’s a classic example: the C dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,Db,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n
\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\nIn the key of C major:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…a ninth above C:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…is D:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…and that’s because from C to D:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…encompasses nine scale degrees.<\/p>\nLowering the ninth tone of the C dominant ninth chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,D,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…which is D:
\n
\n…by a half-step to Db:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Db,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…produces the C dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a diminished seventh chord a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
The Eb dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a diminished seventh chord that is a whole step below the root note (Eb):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n….(which is the C# diminished seventh chord):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,E,G,Bb,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nThe C# diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…over Eb (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the Eb dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Eb,Cs,E,G,Bb,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n“Application Of The Dominant Seventh [Flat Ninth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord can easily be applied as a passing chord to a major chord that is a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root.<\/p>\n
The G dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,F,Ab,B,D,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…can be applied as a passing chord to a major chord that’s a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root.<\/p>\n
A fifth below G:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…is C:
\n
\nTherefore, the G dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…can be applied as a passing chord to C major chords like the C major triad:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,C,E,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…C major seventh chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,G,B,E,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…C major ninth chord:

<\/p>\nDominant Thirteenth [Flat Ninth] Chord<\/h2>\n
If you love the dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord, here’s another flat nine <\/em>chord: the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord.<\/p>\nThe C dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,Db,A,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…is a classic example of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord, which is basically a dominant thirteenth chord with a flat ninth tone.<\/p>\n
The eleventh tone of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord is usually omitted. In the case of the C dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…its eleventh (which is F):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,F,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…is omitted.<\/p>\n
“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a diminished [major seventh chord] that is a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
Let’s say you want to form the A dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,Cs,E,G,Bb,Fs,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…all you need to do is to go below the given root note (which is A):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…by a whole step (to G):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…and play the G diminished [major seventh chord]:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,Bb,Db,Fs,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nSo, the G diminished [major seventh chord]:
\n
\n…played over A on the bass:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…produces the A dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,G,Bb,Cs,Fs,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Flat Ninth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe application of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord is similar to that of the passing chords we covered earlier.<\/p>\n
It resolves to a major chord that is a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root.<\/p>\n
So the B dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,A,C,Eb,Gs,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…resolves to a major chord that is a fifth below its root (which is B):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nA fifth below B:
\n
\n…is E:
\n
\nConsequently, the B dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to E major chords like the E major triad:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,B,Ds,Gs,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…E major seventh chord:

Dominant Thirteenth [Add Ninth] Chord<\/h2>\n
The dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord is another essential passing chord every serious pianist should know.<\/p>\n
The C dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,Bb,D,E,A,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…is a classic example of the dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord.<\/p>\n
“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a major seventh [flat fifth] that is a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
Let’s say you want to form the F dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord, all you need to do is to go below the given root note (which is F):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…by a whole step (to Eb):
\n
\n…and play the Eb major seventh [flat fifth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Eb,G,A,D,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nSo, the Eb major seventh [flat fifth] chord:
\n
\n…played over F on the bass:
\n
\n…produces the F dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,Eb,G,A,D,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nAny other dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord can be formed in the same manner.<\/p>\n
“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Add Ninth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [add ninth] resolves to a major chord that is a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root. Therefore, the Ab dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Ab,Gb,Bb,C,F,&color=9966FF&size=2\")

Dominant Thirteenth [Sharp Eleventh] Chord<\/h2>\n
The last passing chord type we’re studying in this lesson is the dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord.<\/p>\n
The C dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,Bb,D,Fs,A,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…can be voiced using the Bb augmented major seventh chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,D,Fs,A,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nPlaying the Bb augmented major seventh chord:
\n
\n…over C (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the C dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,Bb,D,Fs,A,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord can be voiced by playing an augmented major seventh chord a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
For example, the Bb dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord can be voiced by playing an augmented major seventh chord that’s a whole step below the root (Bb):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Bb,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n….(which is the Ab augmented major seventh chord):
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,C,E,G,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\nThe Ab augmented major seventh chord:

\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,Ab,C,E,G,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Sharp Eleventh] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above (or fifth below) its root. For example, the E dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,D,Fs,As,Cs,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above its root. A fourth above E:
\n![](\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,,,&color=9966FF&size=2\")
\n…is A:
\n
\nConsequently, the E dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to any A major chord, which may include any of the following:<\/p>\n
A major triad:

\n…over D (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the D dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord:
\n
\n“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Suspended Fourth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\n
The dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above (or fifth below) its root. For example, the C dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above its root. A fourth above C:
\n
\n…is F:
\n
\nConsequently, the C dominant thirteenth [suspended fourth] chord:

Dominant Seventh [Flat Ninth] Chord<\/h2>\n
The dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord is an amazing passing chord type that every serious pianist must know. Here’s a classic example: the C dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n
\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\nIn the key of C major:
\n
\n…a ninth above C:
\n
\n…is D:
\n
\n…and that’s because from C to D:
\n
\n…encompasses nine scale degrees.<\/p>\nLowering the ninth tone of the C dominant ninth chord:
\n
\n…which is D:
\n
\n…by a half-step to Db:
\n
\n…produces the C dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a diminished seventh chord a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
The Eb dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a diminished seventh chord that is a whole step below the root note (Eb):
\n
\n….(which is the C# diminished seventh chord):
\n
\nThe C# diminished seventh chord:
\n
\n…over Eb (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the Eb dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n“Application Of The Dominant Seventh [Flat Ninth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord can easily be applied as a passing chord to a major chord that is a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root.<\/p>\n
The G dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…can be applied as a passing chord to a major chord that’s a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root.<\/p>\n
A fifth below G:
\n
\n…is C:
\n
\nTherefore, the G dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…can be applied as a passing chord to C major chords like the C major triad:
\n
\n…C major seventh chord:
\n
\n…C major ninth chord:
\n
\n…etc.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\nDominant Thirteenth [Flat Ninth] Chord<\/h2>\n
If you love the dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord, here’s another flat nine <\/em>chord: the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord.<\/p>\nThe C dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…is a classic example of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord, which is basically a dominant thirteenth chord with a flat ninth tone.<\/p>\n
The eleventh tone of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord is usually omitted. In the case of the C dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…its eleventh (which is F):
\n
\n…is omitted.<\/p>\n
“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a diminished [major seventh chord] that is a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
Let’s say you want to form the A dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…all you need to do is to go below the given root note (which is A):
\n
\n…by a whole step (to G):
\n
\n…and play the G diminished [major seventh chord]:
\n
\nSo, the G diminished [major seventh chord]:
\n
\n…played over A on the bass:
\n
\n…produces the A dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Flat Ninth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe application of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord is similar to that of the passing chords we covered earlier.<\/p>\n
It resolves to a major chord that is a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root.<\/p>\n
So the B dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to a major chord that is a fifth below its root (which is B):
\n
\nA fifth below B:
\n
\n…is E:
\n
\nConsequently, the B dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to E major chords like the E major triad:
\n
\n…E major seventh chord:
\n
\n…E major ninth chord:
\n
\n…etc.<\/p>\n

Dominant Thirteenth [Add Ninth] Chord<\/h2>\n
The dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord is another essential passing chord every serious pianist should know.<\/p>\n
The C dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n
\n…is a classic example of the dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord.<\/p>\n
“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a major seventh [flat fifth] that is a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
Let’s say you want to form the F dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord, all you need to do is to go below the given root note (which is F):
\n
\n…by a whole step (to Eb):
\n
\n…and play the Eb major seventh [flat fifth] chord:
\n
\nSo, the Eb major seventh [flat fifth] chord:
\n
\n…played over F on the bass:
\n
\n…produces the F dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n
\nAny other dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord can be formed in the same manner.<\/p>\n
“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Add Ninth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [add ninth] resolves to a major chord that is a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root. Therefore, the Ab dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to a major chord that is a fifth below its root (which is Ab):
\n
\nA fifth below Ab:
\n
\n…is Db:
\n
\nConsequently, the Ab dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to Db major chords like the Db major triad:
\n
\n…Db major seventh chord:
\n

Dominant Thirteenth [Sharp Eleventh] Chord<\/h2>\n
The last passing chord type we’re studying in this lesson is the dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord.<\/p>\n
The C dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n…can be voiced using the Bb augmented major seventh chord:
\n
\nPlaying the Bb augmented major seventh chord:
\n
\n…over C (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the C dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord can be voiced by playing an augmented major seventh chord a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
For example, the Bb dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord can be voiced by playing an augmented major seventh chord that’s a whole step below the root (Bb):
\n
\n….(which is the Ab augmented major seventh chord):
\n
\nThe Ab augmented major seventh chord:
\n
\n…over Bb (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the Bb dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Sharp Eleventh] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above (or fifth below) its root. For example, the E dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above its root. A fourth above E:
\n
\n…is A:
\n
\nConsequently, the E dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to any A major chord, which may include any of the following:<\/p>\n
A major triad:
\n
\nA major seventh:
\n
\nA major ninth:

If you love the dominant seventh [flat ninth] chord, here’s another flat nine <\/em>chord: the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord.<\/p>\nThe C dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…is a classic example of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord, which is basically a dominant thirteenth chord with a flat ninth tone.<\/p>\n
The eleventh tone of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord is usually omitted. In the case of the C dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…its eleventh (which is F):
\n
\n…is omitted.<\/p>\n
“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a diminished [major seventh chord] that is a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
Let’s say you want to form the A dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…all you need to do is to go below the given root note (which is A):
\n
\n…by a whole step (to G):
\n
\n…and play the G diminished [major seventh chord]:
\n
\nSo, the G diminished [major seventh chord]:
\n
\n…played over A on the bass:
\n
\n…produces the A dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Flat Ninth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe application of the dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord is similar to that of the passing chords we covered earlier.<\/p>\n
It resolves to a major chord that is a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root.<\/p>\n
So the B dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to a major chord that is a fifth below its root (which is B):
\n
\nA fifth below B:
\n
\n…is E:
\n
\nConsequently, the B dominant thirteenth [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to E major chords like the E major triad:

The dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord is another essential passing chord every serious pianist should know.<\/p>\n
The C dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n
\n…is a classic example of the dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord.<\/p>\n
“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord can be voiced by playing a major seventh [flat fifth] that is a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
Let’s say you want to form the F dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord, all you need to do is to go below the given root note (which is F):
\n
\n…by a whole step (to Eb):
\n
\n…and play the Eb major seventh [flat fifth] chord:
\n
\nSo, the Eb major seventh [flat fifth] chord:
\n
\n…played over F on the bass:
\n
\n…produces the F dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n
\nAny other dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord can be formed in the same manner.<\/p>\n
“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Add Ninth] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [add ninth] resolves to a major chord that is a fourth above (or a fifth below) its root. Therefore, the Ab dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to a major chord that is a fifth below its root (which is Ab):
\n
\nA fifth below Ab:
\n
\n…is Db:
\n
\nConsequently, the Ab dominant thirteenth [add ninth] chord:

The last passing chord type we’re studying in this lesson is the dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord.<\/p>\n
The C dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n…can be voiced using the Bb augmented major seventh chord:
\n
\nPlaying the Bb augmented major seventh chord:
\n
\n…over C (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the C dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n“Analysis Of The Voicing…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord can be voiced by playing an augmented major seventh chord a whole step below a given root note.<\/p>\n
For example, the Bb dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord can be voiced by playing an augmented major seventh chord that’s a whole step below the root (Bb):
\n
\n….(which is the Ab augmented major seventh chord):
\n
\nThe Ab augmented major seventh chord:
\n
\n…over Bb (on the bass):
\n
\n…produces the Bb dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n“Application Of The Dominant Thirteenth [Sharp Eleventh] Chord…”<\/em><\/h3>\nThe dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above (or fifth below) its root. For example, the E dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to a major chord that’s a fourth above its root. A fourth above E:
\n
\n…is A:
\n
\nConsequently, the E dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
\n
\n…resolves to any A major chord, which may include any of the following:<\/p>\n
A major triad:
\n
\nA major seventh:
\n
\nA major ninth:
\n
\nEvery other dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord on the keyboard can be resolved following the procedure above.<\/p>\n
