B7
Dominant7About this chord
B7 (B dominant 7, B dom7) delivers a gritty, tense, bluesy bite with a bright edge that feels urgent and unresolved. Essential in blues and rock progressions, it also anchors jazz turnarounds and country vamps, and can hint at flamenco or Latin color when resolving to E. On guitar it’s beginner-friendly in open position yet powerful as a barre shape; on keys it’s punchy with classic blues voicings. Technically a dominant function chord, it piles tension that begs to resolve to E major or E minor, perfect for turnarounds, shuffles, and rock riffs. Great for songwriting hooks, call-and-response lines, and gritty endings that need swagger and attitude.
