Sharp 11 Chord Explained: The Gospel Pianist’s Secret Weapon

In this video, I break down the dominant 7♯11 chord, a must-know for gospel pianists looking to add richness to their playing. I explain how to build it from a C7 chord, adding the ♯11 extension and incorporating the 13th for a fuller sound. I also cover upper structure triads, Lydian scales, and how to apply this voicing in progressions like 2-5-1s and secondary dominants—demonstrated in songs like "Never Would Have Made It - Marvin Sapp"
