Dominants - A7, B7, C7 etc - and learn how they interact with tonic chords: G7 -> C for example. Then start sequencing them in ii-V-I patterns - Dm->G7-C and so on, which are common in jazz.

Then get to dominant extensions, which are built on "7" chords - C9, C11 and C13 and repeat for all other root notes.

After that, "maj7" chords - Cmaj7, Dmaj7 etc.

And then build on the maj7 chords to create "maj9" chords.

And then write a song. Too much theory in one hit ain't good for you.
