If the description doesn&#8217;t fit you, you might want to check out some intermediate or advanced lessons.<\/p>\n<p>In the next 10 minutes or so, I&#8217;ll be taking you by the hand and showing you step-by-step how you can turn simple triads into seventh chords.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On Triads<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>A triad is a collection of three related notes (agreeable or not) which may be played or heard together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although you&#8217;re familiar with triads already, permit me to refresh your mind on them shortly before we proceed into our focus in this lesson: seventh chords.<\/p>\n<h3>Major And Minor Triads<\/h3>\n<p>The major triad and minor triads are products of the first, third, and fifth tones of the natural major scale and natural minor scale respectively. The first, third, and fifth tones of the C natural major scale (which are C, E, and G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;when played\/or together produces the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;while the first, third, and fifth tones of the C natural minor scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which are C, Eb, and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the C minor triad.<\/p>\n<h3>Augmented And Diminished Triads<\/h3>\n<p>Raising the fifth tone of the major triad produces an augmented triad. When the fifth tone of the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is raised by a half-step (to G#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThis produces the C augmented triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nLowering the fifth tone of any given minor triad produces a diminished triad. Lowering the\u00a0 fifth tone of the C minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by a half-step (to Gb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gb,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the C diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,Gb,,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Formation Of Seventh Chords Using Triads<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go ahead and explore how these &#8220;fantastic four&#8221; triads can be turned into seventh chords. We&#8217;ll be forming the following seventh chord qualities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The major seventh chord<\/li>\n<li>The dominant seventh chord<\/li>\n<li>The minor seventh chord<\/li>\n<li>The half-diminished seventh chord<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s check them out!<\/p>\n<h3>Major Triads To Major Seventh Chords<\/h3>\n<p>Using the major triad, the major seventh chord can be formed by lowering the root of the major triad by a half-step. For example, the C major triad below has a duplicate of its root on the left hand. So, the root of the C major triad (on the right hand):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C,E,G,&amp;color=996699&amp;size=2\"

chord can be formed using any major triad.<\/p>\n<h3>Major Triads To Dominant Seventh Chords<\/h3>\n<p>Using the major triad, the dominant seventh chord can be formed by lowering the root of the major triad by a whole-step.<\/p>\n<p>The root of the C major triad (on the right hand):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"

dominant seventh chord can be formed using any major triad.<\/p>\n<h3>Minor Triads To Minor Seventh Chords<\/h3>\n<p>Using the minor triad, the minor seventh chord can be formed by lowering the root
