  Dominant Chord Voicings
Basically dominant chords are derived from from four different scales: the mixolydian scale, the altered scale, the lydian dominant scale and the half/whole diminished scale.
The following dominant chords are all derived from the G altered scale (Ab melodic minor) The altered scale contains both the lowered and raised fifth plus both the lowered and raised ninth making it an easy scale to apply to dominant chords with altered 5ths.
The chords you get are almost the same except rather than a 7sus chord you'll get a 7#11 chord (guitar players usually play this chord the exact same as we would a 7b5 chord).

 Tonality and Harmony: Chord Types
An extended tertian chord, however, is often built on scale degree 5 to function as a dominant; 9th and 11th chords may be built on scale degree 2 and serve as a subdominant chord.
Pre-Dominant Chords: are chords that precede the dominant (or sometimes the tonic six-four and then the dominant) in a cadence.
Secondary Dominant (7th) of V: is a major triad or a major-minor 7th chord built on scale degree 2 (with scale degree 4 chromatically altered to #4).

 Chord (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chords are named for how many notes they contain, more commonly for what type of intervals they are constructed from, and by the root note and bass note.
Chords are also distinguished and notated by the scale degree, pitch, or note of their root and bass, although there are many different conventions for indicating the quality of the chord, and the inversion of the chord (determined by which note of the chord serves as the bass note); see Inverted Triads below).
A minor chord, such as the triad on D, has a smaller interval from root to third called a minor third, and the chord is D minor.

Dominant chords are those whose ROOT is the FIFTH (or dominant) degree of a major scale.
Dominant chords have a MAJOR third and a minor seventh, so one possible chord would be G7, the interpretation being: G 7 The TRIAD The MINOR seventh.
In dominant harmony, the interval of the minor seventh is always present in the chord, so a G add 6 (or G6) is _not_ dominant harmony.

 Tonicization
When referring to this non-diatonic chord, we call it a V/ii (read "five of two") chord and may also refer to it as a secondary dominant chord (since the diatonic dominant chord is the primary V chord).
So the voice leading for a secondary dominant chord is the same as for a diatonic dominant chord: the "new" leading tone, i.e.
Notice how the Ab chord on the downbeat of measure 2 is normally labeled as simply a VI chord in c minor, but in the larger sense is the I chord of the whole Ab Major tonicization in that measure.

The expectation that a dominant chord moves to a tonic chord, thus producing a perfect cadence, is very strong.

 Chord progressions
A secondary dominant is a chord that serves as the “V” of another.
For example, in the “B7-E7-A7-D7-G7-C” progression the “B7” is the “V” of the “E7” chord and the “E7” is the “V” of the “A7” chord.
Similarly, the “A7” is the “V” of the “D7” chord and the “D7” is the “V” of the “G7” chord.

In fact, the most common added-note chord in most types of Western music is a V chord (the dominant chord) with a minor seventh added (V7).

 Dominant Chords
The dominant chord by itself is unstable and usually needs to resolve to a more stable chord a perfect fourth above, but that's not always the case as sometimes they play a static role where they are not intended to resolve to a specific chord.
Dominant chords resolves to both major and minor chords a perfect fourth above, for example a G7 chord could resolve effectively to either a Cmaj7 or a Cm7.
Where the 3rd of the first chord is the 7th of the second one and the vice versa, therefore the function of a G7 could be accomplished with a Db7.

 Chords Leading -- 1 Feb 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
The most important chord in any key is the tonic (the ‘I’, or Roman numeral one) chord (in the key of C, it’s C).
So in the key of C, the ii chord is Dm.) This is because, in theory, just as the dominant moves to the tonic, the second (which is the dominant of the dominant) moves toward the dominant.
Count 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 for the dominant, 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 for the dominant of the dominant.

If a dominant seventh is in first inversion, the 3rd of the chord is in the bass.
When the bass line is ascending (1 - 2 - 3), the second inversion dominant 7th is the only time that the 7th of the dominant 7th does not have to resolve down by step.

 Neapolitan
The chord is sometimes called the Phrygian II in reference to Phrygian mode where the triad built on the second degree of the scale is major and its root is a half step above the tonic.
The chord is considered chromatic, because the altered second scale degree does not result from either tonicization or mixture.
Although the scale degree b2 and the natural scale degree 2 in the V chord produce a cross relation, its effect is softened by the distribution of the pitches in the progression.

 minor 7th Chords, and all about Guitar Chords
In the discussion of the dominant 7th chord, I have stressed that the important interval in that chord is the tritone 3-7, which in a C7 chord is E-Bb.
We have a minor third, meaning that the third is a halft step lower than in the 7 chord (Eb compared to E for Cm7 and C7, but the seventh is the same, Bb in both chords).
This is also the reason why we often use the V7 instead of the Vm7 as a the dominant V chord in minor, and the reason why we have harmonic minor.
