My assignment is 100% correct! We’re talking about chord extensions today.

C7 is a dominant chord because it uses the dominant scale.

C6 is good at being emotional and tugging on heartstrings. It’s ambiguous, in part because it’s also an Amin7.

Csus4 and Csus2 mean to play the fourth or second note respectively without playing the third note. These feel like they are in suspension and usually resolve to the tonic chord.

add adds a note, for example Cmaj7add4 means CEFGB

omit removes a note, for example C7omit5 means CEB
