Is there a note in lead or a chord in rhythm that leads to a new key?

ANSWER

Hi, Gary--

Yes, there is a chord which leads to the new key. The most common and easiest to understand is the
V7 chord of the new key. For example, if you are playing in C and you want to go to D, you use the V7 in the key of D--an A7 Chord.
