Before forming seventh chords, there are certain things one must be conversant with: the definition of seventh chords, regular seventh chord types, and more.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s get the party started by defining seventh chords.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Are Seventh Chords?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>When a chord that is played in its root position encompasses a seventh interval, such a chord is described as a seventh chord. Most seventh chords are formed in third intervals; using major and minor thirds basically.<\/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=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;notes can be stacked together (in third intervals) until\u00a0 a seventh interval is reached.Let&#8217;s form the 1-chord by starting on the first tone of the C major scale (which is C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA third above C is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and from E, a third is G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and yet another third from G is B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAltogether, we have a seventh chord (C-E-G-B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;that encompasses a seventh interval (from C to B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,B,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Scale-Tone Seventh Chords In The Key Of C Major<\/h3>\n<p>Just like the 1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;seventh chords can be formed on every tone of the scale and this would produce the 2-chord, 3-chord, 4-chord, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,C,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of notes stacked in third intervals from D to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,C,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 3-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,D,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of notes stacked in third intervals from E to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,D,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 4-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,C,E,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of notes stacked in third intervals from F to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,E,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 5-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,F,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of notes stacked in third intervals from G to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,F,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 6-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,C,E,G,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of notes stacked in third intervals from A to G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,G,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe 7-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,D,F,A,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of notes stacked in third intervals from B to A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,A,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNow that your mind is refreshed on seventh chords, let&#8217;s proceed into learning 4 things everyone should know about seventh chords.<\/p>\n<h2>Four Things You Need To Know About Seventh Chords<\/h2>\n<p>Here are four things you really need to know about seventh chords&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>#1 &#8211; Seventh Chords Have 4 Chord Tones<\/h3>\n<p>Seventh chords are unique because they are 4-toned chords. A regular seventh chord consists of the following tones: the root, the third, the fifth, and the seventh. So, while considering a seventh chord, you must be mindful of the tones.<\/p>\n<p>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=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of four tones:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C is root<\/p>\n<p>E is the third<\/p>\n<p>G is the fifth<\/p>\n<p>B is the seventh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Every other seventh chord can be broken down into these chord tones.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 &#8211; Seventh Chords Have Three Inversions<\/h3>\n<p>Every seventh chord has three inversion: the first inversion, second inversion, and third inversion. A seventh chord is said to be inverted when any other note apart from its root is the lowest-sounding note.<\/p>\n<p>Using the C major seventh chord as a reference:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,B,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;let&#8217;s take a look at the three inversions of a seventh chord.<\/p>\n<p>When E (which is the third tone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the lowest-sounding chord tone, this produces the first inversion of the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,C,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhen G (which is the fifth tone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the lowest-sounding chord tone, this produces the second inversion of the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,C,E,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nWhen B (which is the seventh tone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is the lowest-sounding chord tone, this produces the third inversion of the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,C,E,G,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe three inversions of any seventh chord can be derived accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 &#8211; Seventh Chords Can Be Broken Down Into Two Exclusive Triads<\/h3>\n<p>Every seventh chord can be broken down into two exclusive triads. 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=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;can be broken down into two triads: the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the E minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe understanding of the two exclusive triads in any given seventh chord can be applied in its formation. The C major seventh chord can be broken down into the C major triad and the E minor triad. Therefore, playing the E minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,E,G,B,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;over the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the C major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,E,G,B,&amp;color=CC66CC&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nEvery other seventh chord can be broken down into two exclusive triads.<\/p>\n<h3>#4 &#8211; There Are 5 Common Seventh Chord Types<\/h3>\n<p>There are five common seventh chord types everyone should be familiar with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The major seventh chord<\/li>\n<li>The minor seventh chord<\/li>\n<li>The dominant seventh chord<\/li>\n<li>The half-diminished seventh chord<\/li>\n<li>The diminished seventh chord<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although there are tons of seventh chords out there, these seventh chords are commonly applied in Gospel, Jazz, and other popular music styles.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Seventh chords are harmonically ahead of triads and it&#8217;s important for every beginner to learn and explore them &#8212; especially the 5 common seventh chord types we outlined.<\/p>\n<p>All the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This lesson will get you acquainted with the basic things you need to know about seventh
