If you like this video you’ll love the Chord Progression Codex!: https://tinyurl.com/yytbhyvh Check out my Theory and Songwriting Course: https://tinyurl.com/yv7uxjre Altered Dominant chords are absolutely essential to writing complex jazz progressions. The topic can be very difficult to navigate though, so I’ve tried to simplify it down to the absolute basics in this video. To summarize this video: -Take a regular dominant chord (1 3 5 b7) and move it’s 5th up or down a half step to alter it. This creates 7(b5) or 7(#5) (aka augmented 7th) -Like ALL altered dominant chords, you can use these as a colorful replacement for V7 in a V7 – I cadence. -Altered dominant chords of any type can be written with the symbol 7alt. -It’s easy to use altered dominant chords right after or before regular dominant chords, like G7 – G7alt – C, or G7alt-G7-C -Altered dominants can be used in secondary dominant movements. Instead of playing V7/vi - vi, try V7alt/vi – vi. Or, V7alt/vi -V7/vi - vi Thanks t
