Let&#8217;s go ahead and explore them.<\/p>\n<h3>12 Major Seventh Chords<\/h3>\n<p>The major seventh chord is the chord of the first tone of the major scale. Therefore, starting from the first tone of any given major scale, the major seventh chord can be formed using <em>every other note of the scale <\/em>in third intervals.<\/p>\n<p>For example, starting from the first tone of 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=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\"

Chords<\/h3>\n<p>The dominant seventh chord can easily be derived from major seventh chords. The formation process is as easy as lowering the seventh tone of the major seventh chord to form a corresponding dominant seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=FFFFCC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be used in the formation of the C dominant seventh chord.
