Dominant 7th Jazz 4/4 Swing Tempo 140

In case you're wondering what is meant by a 7alt chord, it's just a way of saying a dominant7 chord (the chord built on the 5th note of a major scale) with a raised or lowered 5th or 9th or any combination of the 2. So, for instance, if the chord chart of a song calls for an A7alt, you could play any of these chords: A7#5, A7b5, A7#5#9, A7#5b9, etc.

You can play along with the separate audio players below or, if you want to select a looping area, you can click the VIEW FULL VERSION link in the SoundSlice player below which will open access to all keys in a new browser window. The player embedded below is the G7alt to Cmaj7 progression.
