C Dominant 7th selected

When it comes to chord symbols, the terms “no” and “omit” are used to indicate that certain notes in the chord should not be played. ”no” and “omit” can be used interchangeably.

For example, if a chord symbol contains a “no 5” notation, this means that the fifth scale degree should not be played.

C7(no5) would be a C7 chord without the 5th Scale Degree.

You can also indicate that multiple notes should be omitted, such as “no 3, no 5,” which would indicate that both the third and fifth notes of the chord should be excluded.

C13(no3, no5) would be a C13 chord without the 3rd and 5th scale degrees.
