- E# Dominant 7
E# Dominant b5, written E#7b5, is built from E#, G##, B and D#: the root, major 3rd, flat 5th and minor 7th.
Its 3rd and 7th, G## and D#, 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. B7, a tritone away, has the same two notes the other way up, so it can stand in for E#7b5 as its tritone substitute.
