The Phrygian Dominant Scale
The E7b9 chord used in the previous four lessons in Diminished Moves Vol. 1 should be viewed as the V7b9 chord in A harmonic minor. This lesson explains the available extensions and harmonic options for this chord.
Minor Chord Options
The minor chords that we have been resolving to in the previous lessons can function a number of different ways in different keys. Understanding the theoretical options will reveal the source for various extensions of the minor chord. This lesson will link these extensions with the various scale sources.
Dim 7 to Maj 7 Moves
The voice leading in this harmonic move will consist of one common tone and three moving voices. The common tone is the 3 of the 7b9 which then becomes the 7 of the Maj 7 chord.
Dim 7 to Maj 9 Moves
The voice leading in this harmonic move will consist of two common tones and two moving voices. The common tones are the 3 of the 7b9 which then becomes the 7 of the Maj 7 chord, and the 5 of the 7b9 which then becomes the 9 of the Maj 9 chord.
