D Dominant Chords and Alterations

Dominant chords are formed on the fifth degree of a major scale, and carry a significant amount of tension. They serve a specific harmonic function by seeking resolution to the 1 chord. All of the chords below, based on D, are dominant in function and strive for resolution to the key of G major/minor.

Note: Whenever you encounter a 7, 9, 11, or 13 following a chord with no major or minor indication (ex. D7), it will always signify that the chord is
dominant in function and will have a lowered 7th in the chord. If you see a “maj” or “m” before the number, the chord is not dominant.

D Diminished Chord Variations

Diminished chords are built on the seventh degree of a major key, and in a minor key, on the second degree as well. These chords serve a clear harmonic purpose by moving from dissonance to consonance, or facilitating modulation into new key signatures or musical progressions.

D Slash Chord Variations

Slash chords are a unique chord notation that indicates a specific bass note to be played with a given chord. In a worship band context, the chord symbol on the right of the slash indicates the note to be played by the bass, and the chord symbol on the left of the slash represents the harmony played by the other instruments. In a solo instrument context, the player performs both the chord and bass note simultaneously, creating a fuller harmonic texture.

Dominant chords are formed on the fifth degree of a major scale, and carry a significant amount of tension. They serve a specific harmonic function by seeking resolution to the 1 chord. All of the chords below, based on C#, are dominant in function and strive for resolution to the key of F# major/minor.

Note: Whenever you encounter a 7, 9, 11, or 13 following a chord with no major or minor indication (ex. C#7), it will always signify that the chord is
dominant in function and will have a lowered 7th in the chord. If you see a “maj” or “m” before the 7, the chord is not dominant.

C# Diminished Chord Variations

Diminished chords are built on the seventh degree of a major key, and in a minor key, on the second degree as well. These chords serve a clear harmonic purpose by moving from dissonance to consonance, or facilitating modulation into new key signatures or musical progressions.

C# Slash Chord Variations

Slash chords are a unique chord notation that indicates a specific bass note to be played with a given chord. In a worship band context, the chord symbol on the right of the slash indicates the note to be played by the bass, and the chord symbol on the left of the slash represents the harmony played by the other instruments. In a solo instrument context, the player performs both the chord and bass note simultaneously, creating a fuller harmonic texture.

F# Dominant Chords and Alterations

Dominant chords are formed on the fifth degree of a major scale, and carry a significant amount of tension. They serve a specific harmonic function by seeking resolution to the 1 chord. All of the chords below, based on F#, are dominant in function and strive for resolution to the key of B major/minor.

Note: Whenever you encounter a 7, 9, 11, or 13 following a chord with no major or minor indication (ex. F#7), it will always signify that the chord is
dominant in function and will have a lowered 7th in the chord. If you see a “maj” or “m” before the number, the chord is not dominant.

F# Diminished Chord Variations

Diminished chords are built on the seventh degree of a major key, and in a minor key, on the second degree as well. These chords serve a clear harmonic purpose by moving from dissonance to consonance, or facilitating modulation into new key signatures or musical progressions.

F# Slash Chord Variations

Slash chords are a unique chord notation that indicates a specific bass note to be played with a given chord. In a worship band context, the chord symbol on the right of the slash indicates the note to be played by the bass, and the chord symbol on the left of the slash represents the harmony played by the other instruments. In a solo instrument context, the player performs both the chord and bass note simultaneously, creating a fuller harmonic texture.

A Dominant Chords and Alterations

Dominant chords are formed on the fifth degree of a major scale, and carry a significant amount of tension. They serve a specific harmonic function by seeking resolution to the 1 chord. All of the chords below, based on A, are dominant in function and strive for resolution to the key of D major/minor.

Note: Whenever you encounter a 7, 9, 11, or 13 following a chord with no major or minor indication (ex. Ab7), it will always signify that the chord is
dominant in function and will have a lowered 7th in the chord. If you see a “maj” or “m” before the number, the chord is not dominant.

A Diminished Chord Variations

Diminished chords are built on the seventh degree of a major key, and in a minor key, on the second degree as well. These chords serve a clear harmonic purpose by moving from dissonance to consonance, or facilitating modulation into new key signatures or musical progressions.

A Slash Chord Variations

Slash chords are a unique chord notation that indicates a specific bass note to be played with a given chord. In a worship band context, the chord symbol on the right of the slash indicates the note to be played by the bass, and the chord symbol on the left of the slash represents the harmony played by the other instruments. In a solo instrument context, the player performs both the chord and bass note simultaneously, creating a fuller harmonic texture.
