By the broadest definition, any chord with a non-diatonic chord tone is an altered chord. The simplest example of altered chords is the use of borrowed chords, chords borrowed from the parallel key, and the most common is the use of secondary dominants. As Alfred Blatter explains, "An altered chord occurs when one of the standard, functional ...
Diminished seventh chords may also be rooted on scale degrees other than the leading-tone, either as secondary function chords temporarily borrowed from other keys, or as appoggiatura chords: a chord rooted on the raised second scale degree (D ♯ –F ♯ –A–C in the key of C) acts as an appoggiatura to the tonic (C major) chord, and one ...
In standard jazz harmony, tritone substitution works because the two chords share two pitches that themselves are a tritone apart: namely, the third and the seventh of the chord, albeit reversed. [8] In a G 7 chord, the third is B and the seventh is F; in its tritone substitution, D ♭ 7, the third is F and the seventh is C ♭ (enharmonically ...

Diminished major seventh chords are very dissonant, containing the dissonant intervals of the tritone and the major seventh.They are frequently encountered, especially in jazz, as a diminished seventh chord with an appoggiatura [citation needed], especially when the melody has the leading note of the given chord: the ability to resolve this dissonance smoothly to a diatonic triad with the same ...
In this case, the chord is viewed as a C major seventh chord (CM 7) in which the third note is an augmented fifth from root (G ♯), rather than a perfect fifth from root (G). All chord names and symbols including altered fifths, i.e., augmented (♯ 5, +5, aug5) or diminished (♭ 5, o 5, dim5) fifths can be interpreted in a similar way.
In jazz, the altered scale, altered dominant scale, or super-Locrian scale (Locrian ♭ 4 scale) is a seven-note scale that is a dominant scale where all non-essential tones have been altered. This means that it comprises the three irreducibly essential tones that define a dominant seventh chord , which are root, major third, and minor seventh ...
The chord is favored by Pixies lead guitarist Joey Santiago, with D 7 ♯ 9, reminiscent of the opening to "A Hard Day's Night", opening and being called the "secret ingredient" of the song "Here Comes Your Man". A "brutally scraped" F 7 ♯ 9 features in the chorus of "Tame" against the three chord rhythm guitar part's D, C, and F chords. [27]
