SECTION 16
Forming the Seventh Chord
In the previous lessons we learned that the major and minor chords consist of 3 notes and studied how they’re formed. Seventh Chord consists of 4 notes. It’s composed by taking out the first, third, fifth and seventh notes from the relevant scale. In this lesson we’ll be learning major seventh chord, minor seventh chord and dominant seventh chord.
Maj Seventh Chord
It’s the chord that comes to existence when the 7th note of the relevant scale is added as well to do the first, third and fifth notes of a major chord.
CMaj7
EMaj7
Dominant Seventh Chord
It’s the chord that comes to existence when the flat of the 7th note in the relevant scale is added as well to do the first, third and fifth notes of a major chord.
C7
E7
The seventh note of the EMaj7 scale is D#. The note becomes natural when it acquires flat according to the Seventh Note rule..
Minor Seventh Chord
It’s the chord that comes to existence when the 7th note of the relevant scale is added as well to do the first, third and fifth notes of a minor chord.
