Altered chords are most often used by jazz musicians, but there are some that have made there way into popular music genres, From the 7#9 made famous by Jimi Hendrix or the 7#5 chord use by many different guitar players. I cover 26 different 7alt and altered 7th chords and teach you why and how to use them.
The 7#5b9 chord is one of the best altered 7th chords in my opinion. I have 10 open and closed chords for the 7#5b9 and E7#5b9 chords, as well as a chord I came up with: the 7#5b9/#9. I cover the intervals in the chord, the chord tones for the chords in the key of E and talk about how and when to use the chord.
The 7b5#9 chord is one of the four 7alt chords in music, typically built from the altered scale. Altered seventh chords, in the strictest sense, are dominant 7th chords that have both an altered 5th and an altered 9th. I cover the notes and intervals for the 7♭5#9 chord, how to use the chord and show 3 closed voicings and 8 open for the 7♭5#9 chord.
