- A# Dominant 7
A# Dominant b5, written A#7b5, is built from A#, C##, E and G#: the root, major 3rd, flat 5th and minor 7th.
Its 3rd and 7th, C## and G#, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass. E7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for A#7b5 as its tritone substitute.
