When studying music you'll learn the uniqueness of the dominant (V) chord. This chord is the most flexible chord and one of the most studied chords. The dominant chord is one of the only chords that can accept all alterations and extension and still maintain its harmonic function thus the name, Dominant.

  1.    Dominant chord that doesn't resolve to its "I" chord.
  2.    Dominant chord that does resolve to its "I" chord.
