My assignment is 100% correct! We're talking about chord extensions today.
C7 is a dominant chord because it
uses the dominant scale.
| Scale | Intervals |
|---|---|
| Major | WWHWWWH |
| Dominant | WWHWWHW |
| Minor | WHWWHWW |
C6 is good at being emotional and
tugging on heartstrings. It's ambiguous, in part
because it's also an Amin7.
Csus4 and Csus2 mean to
play the fourth or second note respectively without
playing the third note. These feel like they are in
suspension and usually resolve to the tonic
chord.
add adds a note, for example
Cmaj7add4 means CEFGB
omit removes a note, for example
C7omit5 means CEB
