Inner Motion in Dominant Chords 2

Combining 9ths, 11ths & 13ths

This week, we’re expanding the inner motion toolkit.

Building on last week's exploration of dominant chord voice leading, we now combine two altered tones at a time—creating richer, more dynamic pathways to resolution.

Inside the lesson:

• A complete table of all 6 two-note combinations:
  b9 + #9, b9 + #11, b9 + b13, #9 + #11, #9 + b13, #11 + b13

• Step-by-step voice leading from natural 9/11/13 → altered tones → resolution (major or minor)

• Video + PDF examples to help you hear and see each motion clearly

Whether you're comping behind a soloist or crafting your own improvisational vocabulary, this is a powerful way to deepen your harmonic fluency.
