How is it that four disparate dominant seven chords (e.g., C7, Eb7, F#7 and A7) can be treated effectively the same? The answer comes with the addition of a flat nine extension, creating the same diminished chord within each. Once you get your brain and especially your fingers around the understanding that every diminished chord can resolve in four different directions, dominant resolution becomes more intuitive and fluent. Even if the theoretical concept has you scratching your head, to your ears it will make sense, as you’ll hear in the demonstrations. The final exercise elicits surprise when the diminished chord is first heard to resolve in an unexpected direction, then the ear quickly adjusts.
