These things are easier than they sound &#8211; I can guarantee you that.<\/p>\n<p>Join me in the next segment as I give you a simple yet elaborate definition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/dominant-seventh-chord\">dominant seventh<\/a> chord that will get us started.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Is A Dominant Seventh Chord?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The term <em>dominant seventh chord<\/em> can be broken down into three components &#8211; chord, dominant, and seventh. Check out the breakdown of the dominant seventh chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Chord:<\/strong> A <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">chord<\/span> is a collection of three or more related notes [whether pleasant or unpleasant.]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dominant: <\/strong>The technical name for the fifth degree of the major scale is known as the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">dominant<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seventh:<\/strong> The distance between seven degrees of the [major or minor] scale is known as a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">seventh<\/span>.<strong> <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I know there are more sophisticated definitions of the dominant seventh chord, however, here&#8217;s a simple one you can go with:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The dominant seventh chord is a collection of related notes [<strong>chord<\/strong>] that is built on the fifth degree of the major scale[<strong>dominant<\/strong>] which encompasses seven degrees of the scale [<strong>seventh<\/strong>].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s expand these definitions more.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;&#8230;Related Notes&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing you need to know about the dominant seventh chord is that it is a collection of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">related notes<\/span>. The relationship we&#8217;re talking about here exists between notes that are thirds apart from each other.<\/p>\n<p>A third is the distance between three successive degrees of the scale. C to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is an example. It encompasses three degrees &#8211; C, D, and E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThis relationship between notes in thirds is called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/tertian-chords-and-the-secret-relationship-between-almost-every-chord\">tertian harmony<\/a> and it is not peculiar to the dominant seventh chord. According to Jermaine Griggs (2015), &#8220;<em>90% of all chords you play are tertian chords.<\/em>&#8220;[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/tertian-chords-and-the-secret-relationship-between-almost-every-chord\">1<\/a>]<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;&#8230;On the Fifth Degree&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The dominant seventh chord is built on the fifth degree of the major scale. In the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the fifth tone (aka -&#8220;the dominant&#8221;) is G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nUsing the relationship of notes in tertian harmony, we can build the dominant seventh chord from the fifth tone of the C major scale, which is G.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the fact that the dominant seventh chord can also be formed on the fifth degree of the major scale, its root is usually considered to be a fifth degree.<\/p>\n<p>For example, to form the B dominant seventh chord, you&#8217;ll have to consider the B as the fifth degree of a given major scale.<\/p>\n<p>So, <em>&#8220;In what major scale is B the fifth tone?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The answer is E.<\/p>\n<p>In the E major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;B is the fifth tone.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in a tool that can help you understand dominant relationships, here you are:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/circleoffiths1.png\" alt=\"circleoffiths1\" class=\"wp-image-9643 aligncenter\" height=\"320\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can hardly talk about strong chord progressions without making reference to this circle above. In the 4 o&#8217;clock and 5 o&#8217;clock positions are E and B respectively.<\/p>\n<p>If B is the fifth degree of the E major scale, then you can derive the parent scale of any other dominant seventh chord by going to an adjacent sector of this circle in a counter clock-wise direction.<\/p>\n<p>We can do this for any other dominant seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>Given the D dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,Fs,A,C&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;determining its parent scale is as easy as spotting D on the chat &#8211; which is at the 2 o&#8217;clock position, then going counter clock-wise by a sector to G.<\/p>\n<p>So, the parent scale of the D dominant chord is the G major scale.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;&#8230;Which Encompasses Seven&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you know about the relationship in thirds and where the dominant seventh chord is built off, let&#8217;s put it together.<\/p>\n<p>Using the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as the parent scale, we can form the G dominant seventh chord by starting on G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and adding other chord tones in thirds until a seventh is encompassed.<\/p>\n<p>A third from G is B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a third above G-B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nPut together, we have G, B, and D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,D,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which encompasses five scale degrees &#8211; G to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,A,B,C,D,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA third above G, B, and D is F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;if we add F to G, B, and D, this would produce G, B, D, F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,D,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a dominant chord that encompasses seven scale degrees &#8211; from G to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWow! What an amazing breakdown we&#8217;ve done here. Let&#8217;s proceed to its relationship with the leading note and leading note triad.<\/p>\n<p>Great job!<\/p>\n<h2>Relationship With The Leading Note<\/h2>\n<p>The same way the fifth degree of the scale is associated with the term &#8216;dominant&#8217;, the seventh degree is known as the subtonic or leading note (when it is a half step below the first tone of the scale.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> The leading note so called because of its tendency to <em>lead <\/em>us to the first tone of the scale. It has a sense of attraction towards the first degree of the scale (aka &#8211; &#8220;the tonic&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>In the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the seventh tone (aka &#8211; &#8220;leading tone&#8221;) is B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and its triad is also known as the leading note triad.<\/p>\n<p>Using the underlying principles of chord formation I broke down to you in the previous segment, here&#8217;s the leading note triad &#8211; the B diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,D,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe leading note triad is formed by stacking notes in thirds&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>B to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,D,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and D to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe Dominant seventh chord has a relationship with the leading note and its triad. The leading note triad is the upper part of the dominant seventh chord. Here&#8217;s what I mean&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The B diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,D,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the upper part of the G dominant seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,B,D,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nBasically, if you take the root of the G dominant seventh chord away, you&#8217;ll be left with the B diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,D,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the leading note triad.<\/p>\n<p>Before now, I&#8217;ve always promised to explain why the chord of the seventh degree is not used and this is because of its relationship with the dominant seventh chord &#8211; chord 5.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be talking more about this in a future post, but all I can say now is that the dominant seventh chord is the harmonic substitute of the leading note triad.<\/p>\n<p>It has the elements of the leading note triad and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s the strongest chord quality that takes us to chord 1.<\/p>\n<h2>Relationship With The Tritone<\/h2>\n<p>The diminished triad (aka &#8211; &#8220;leading note triad) if broken into intervals, will produce two intervallic components, the minor third and the diminished fifth.<\/p>\n<p>The B diminished triad can be broken down into&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>B-D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,D,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a minor third.<\/p>\n<p>B-F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,F,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a diminished fifth.<\/p>\n<p>The diminished interval popularly known as the tritone is one of the harshest intervals in music. This interval is associated with tension and instability.<\/p>\n<p>Chords that contain the tritone have a degree of instability and tension and tend to resolve. This explains why the leading note triad has the tendency to resolve to the tonic triad (aka &#8211; &#8220;chord 1&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> Considering that the leading note triad is part of the dominant seventh chord, the tritonic attributes of the leading note triad still applies to the dominant seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>The G dominant seventh chord contains the tritone and this is its essential intervallic component that makes it sound unstable.<\/p>\n<p>The tritone is formed by the relationship between the third and seventh tones (aka &#8211; &#8220;skeleton&#8221;) of the dominant seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>In the C dominant seventh chord:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C is the root<\/p>\n<p>E is the third<\/p>\n<p>G is the fifth<\/p>\n<p>Bb is the seventh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The third and seventh tones &#8211; E and Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Bb,&amp;color=33FF66&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/devil-music-tritones-vs-augmented-4ths-diminished-5ths\">diminished fifth<\/a> (or tritone) apart.<\/p>\n<h2>Resolution Of The Dominant Seventh Chord<\/h2>\n<p>The dominant seventh chord is not like major and minor chords that are stable and pleasant &#8211; No!
