seventh

The seventh note of the musical scale is called "ti" or "si" in solfeggio, and it is the note "B" in Western music.

A seventh chord simply adds a diatonic third above the fifth of the triad - or, in other words, a seventh above the root. In the following example, a D-minor triad becomes a seventh chord with the addition of the pitch C: Example 18–1.

The two most important notes in any scale are the 3rd and 7th. They tell the listener what the quality is and indicate the harmonic motion. The 3rd tells us if it's major or minor. The 7th tells whether the sound is stable (doesn't want to move to another chord) or if it wants to move on to a chord of resolution.

In music theory, a minor seventh is one of two musical intervals that span seven staff positions. It is minor because it is the smaller of the two sevenths, spanning ten semitones. The major seventh spans eleven.

In essence, you can think of dominant seventh chords (1 3 5 b7) as a major triad (1 3 5) with an additional note, the b7. The reason behind its name "dominant seventh chord" is because, in a C7 chord, the B flat is the 7th note of the C dominant scale (also known as the Mixolydian scale).

four-note A Seventh Chord is a four-note chord whose pitches can be arranged as thirds. Like with a triad, the pitches belonging to a seventh chord occupy adjacent positions (a four-pitch-class clump) on the circle of thirds.

7th chords on piano are four-note chords. The note the chord is named after is called the root; so, a Cmaj7 chord has C as its root. The other notes in the chord are the third, the fifth, and the seventh.

Dominant seventh chords are often built on the fifth scale degree (or dominant) of a key. For instance, in the C major scale, G is the fifth note of the scale, and the seventh chord built on G is the dominant seventh chord, G7 (shown above).

And then just flatten. It. And that is a c7. And you get this chord a lot in blue styles. Um so c major seven c seven g major seven flatten that seventh. You have a g7. So that's how that works.

What is a minor 7th chord? A Minor 7th chord is a 4-note chord consisting of the root, flat-3rd, fifth and flat-7th. You can build the chord upwards from its root by stacking minor-3rd, major-3rd and minor-3rd intervals. You can also think of this as taking the 1, 3, 5 and 7 from the Aeolian mode.

The five commonly found in western music are the major seventh, the minor (or minor/minor) seventh, the dominant (or major/minor) seventh, the half-diminished seventh, and the diminished seventh. The less commonly found tertian is the minor/major seventh. Tertian seventh chords used in Western music.
