For example, C 6/9 is C–E–G–A–D. It is not a tense chord requiring resolution, and is considered a substitute for the tonic in jazz. The minor 6/9 chord is a minor triad with an added 6th and 9th, evoking the Dorian mode, and is also suitable as a minor tonic in jazz. [17] The second degree is octave equivalent to the ninth.
IV-V-I-vi chord progression in C major: 4: Major I–V–vi–IV: ... Minor Irregular resolution (Type I: Two common tones, two note moves by half step motion)
Example 1: Below, a common voicing used by jazz pianists is given for the chord C 7 ♯ 9 (C major chord with a minor 7th, and extended with an augmented 9th). In the lower stave the notes E ♮ and B ♭ are given. These form a tritone which defines the dominant sound, and are the major 3rd and minor 7th of the C 7 ♯ 9 chord.
These chords are all borrowed from the key of E minor. Similarly, in minor keys, chords from the parallel major may also be "borrowed". For example, in E minor, the diatonic chord built on the fourth scale degree is IVm, or A minor. However, in practice, many songs in E minor will use IV (A major), which is borrowed from the key of E major.
Power chords are also referred to as fifth chords, indeterminate chords, or neutral chords [citation needed] (not to be confused with the quarter tone neutral chord, a stacking of two neutral thirds, e.g. C–E –G) since they are inherently neither major nor minor; generally, a power chord refers to a specific doubled-root, three-note voicing ...
For example, the relative minor of C major is A minor, and in the key of A minor, the i, iv and v chords are A minor, D minor and E minor. In practice, in a minor key, the third of the dominant chord is often raised by one semitone to form a major chord (or a dominant seventh chord if the seventh is added).
This simple chord progression with tonic substitutes could become iii–ii–V–vi or, with chord names, "E minor–D minor–G Major–A minor". Given the overlap in notes between the original tonic chords and the chord substitutes (for example, C major is the notes "C, E, and G", and "E minor" is the notes "E, G and B"), the melody is likely ...
That same E might be harmonized with a C major chord (C – E – G), making it the third of the chord. This concept extends to ninths (E would act as the 9th if harmonized with a Dm7 chord – D – F – A – C – E), ♯ fifths (E would act as ♯ 5 on an A ♭ augmented chord – A ♭ – C – E), and a wide array of other options.
