“The Dominant 9th Chord”
This chord can be played in “2-5-1” gospel chord progressions (other styles as well). Try it out:
“Eb9 Chord” (pronounced “E flat dominant ninth chord)
In the key of “Db major”:
Bass = Eb
Right hand = G + Bb + Db + F
Play this chord as a “lead-in” to an Ab chord. 90 percent of the time, it can be used in a “2-5-1” chord progression (that is, Eb — Ab — Db).
That’s it for now! I’ll see you tomorrow!
