- B Dominant 7
B Dominant b9, written B7b9, is built from B, D#, F#, A and C: the root, major 3rd, 5th, minor 7th and flat 9th.
Its 3rd and 7th, D# and A, 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. F7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for B7b9 as its tritone substitute.
In the progressions here, B7b9 is the V7♭9 of the Minor ii-V to Major Progression in E.
