Dominant 7th Flat 9th Chord

🎵 A classic tension builder, especially in jazz and classical music. The flat 9 creates a strong, slightly dark dissonance with the root (or the 3rd), pulling intensely towards the tonic. Use it as a V7 chord to heighten the sense of urgency and drama before resolving to the I chord. Feels intense and dramatic.

Also abbreviated as: 7b9

With all 5 notes and C as bass, it is also: C7b9
