Best Answer

it is this: if the key is C major, the fifth note in that chord is G. Basically what that means is that the word dominant means fifth. I can also give you the whole thing of what is first all the way to the last note. It's this:

1. Tonic

2. Supertonic

3. Mediant

4. Sub-dominant

5. Dominant

6. Sub-mediant

7. Leading note

Hope this helps!

Is the dominant triad always major?

Dominant triads, which are built on the fifth (or dominant) note of the scale, are (almost) always major - even when written in a minor key. This is because the middle note (which is the 7th note of the scale - known as the leading note) is always raised by a chromatic semitone.For example:The C major dominant triad is composed of the notes G, B, and D.The a minor dominant triad is composed of the notes E, G#, and B. Although there are no accidentals in the key signature of this scale, the 7th note is raised from G-natural to G# in order to make it a harmonic scale.That's not to say that minor dominant triads don't exist, because they do. They're just rare. You might be able to find a minor dominant triad in a situation where the dominant triad is played in conjunction with a descending melodic line (i.e. where the 6th and 7th notes of the scale aren't raised).

What are the notes of all dominant scales?

There is actually no such thing as a "dominant scale", however you can use the notes of a dominant 7th chord as a scale and that can begin on any note, the dominant 7th chord in C major is G7 and G7 uses all white keys (G, B, D and F), the structure of a dominant 7th chord is the major triad plus the flatted 7th.
