Dominant 7th ♯9 ♯11 Chords on Piano
The dominant 7th ♯9 ♯11 chord stacks two sharp alterations on a dominant 7th: the Hendrix-style ♯9 plus the Lydian-flavored ♯11. The result is an aggressive, crunchy voicing that works in jazz-funk, fusion, and any context where maximum chromatic tension over dominant harmony is desired.
