Our focus in this lesson is on the b7-chord in the major key.<\/p>\n

The major key has seven unique chords:<\/p>\n

The 1-chord:
\n
\nThe 2-chord:
\n
\nThe 3-chord:
\n
\nThe 4-chord:
\n
\nThe 5-chord:
\n
\nThe 6-chord:
\n
\nThe 7-chord:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Attention:<\/strong> All the references above are given in the key of C major.<\/p>\n

But in so many occasions, the chord of the seventh tone of the major scale (aka – “the 7-chord”) is excluded from the list and this is because it is the most dissonant chord in the major key and I’ll tell you why<\/em> in the next segment.<\/p>\n

The 7-chord: The Most Dissonant Chord In The Major Key<\/h2>\n

The 7-chord in the key of C major:
\n
\n…is the B half-diminished seventh chord:<\/p>\n

A breakdown of the 7-chord into intervals:<\/p>\n

B-D:
\n
\nB-F:
\n
\nB-A:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…shows the particular interval behind the dissonance of the 7-chord and that’s the tritone — “B-F”:
\n
\nAll chords with the “tritone” are highly dissonant (or unpleasant) when played and the 7-chord is no exception.<\/p>\n

Beyond The Seventh Chord: Other Intolerable Dissonances Of The 7-chord<\/h3>\n

Interestingly, the tritone is NOT all there is to the 7-chord in the major key. As we extend the 7-chord by adding other chord tones (known as extensions) to it, we’ll come across other intolerable <\/em>dissonances.<\/p>\n

“Kindly Give Me Your Undivided Attention…”<\/em><\/p>\n

The extensions of the 7-chord in the key of C major are:<\/p>\n

The ninth (which is C):
\n
\nThe eleventh (which is E):
\n
\nThe thirteenth (which is G):
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adding the ninth to the B half-diminished seventh chord:<\/p>\n

The ninth (which is C):
\n
\nThe B half-diminished seventh chord:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…produces the B half-diminished seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…which is a very unpleasant chord with an intolerable degree of dissonance.<\/p>\n

In the B half-diminished seventh [flat ninth] chord:
\n
\n…the root is also clashing<\/em> with the ninth tone to produce the minor ninth interval — the most dissonant interval in tonal music — which has this degree of unpleasantness that cannot be appreciated.<\/p>\n

Even if other extensions (like the eleventh and thirteenth are added) it doesn’t get any better:<\/p>\n

\u00a0With the eleventh:
\n
\nWith the thirteenth:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“So, Back To Our Conversation On The 7-chord…”<\/em><\/p>\n

You’ve clearly seen why the 7-chord is usually excluded in the major key.<\/p>\n

Submission:<\/strong> Music scholars are familiar with other cases where the 7-chord is considered as an incomplete 5-chord and we’ll learn more about that in a subsequent lesson.<\/p>\n

Introducing: The b7-chord In The Major Key<\/h2>\n

Did it escape your notice that the dissonance of the 7-chord is basically coming from its root.<\/p>\n

In the first example, the root and the fifth tone (“B-F”) forms a dissonant interval.<\/p>\n

In the second example, the root and the ninth tone (“B-C”) forms an intolerably dissonant interval.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ll be showing you what to do to the root of the 7-chord in this segment.<\/p>\n

Here’s What To Do With The Root Of The 7-chord<\/h3>\n

The root of the 7-chord in the key of C major:
\n
\n…is B:
\n
\nDue to its clash (formation of an unpleasant interval) with the fifth and ninth chord tones, we can go ahead to chromatically<\/em> modify it and this entails lowering the root of the 7-chord by a half-step.<\/p>\n

So, lowering the root of the 7-chord in the key of C major (which is B):
\n
\n…by a half-step (to Bb):
\n
\n…produces a set of chromatic chords (chords that are foreign to the key of C major) that are a lot more pleasant.<\/p>\n

The Chromatic Nature Of The b7-chord<\/h3>\n

Lowering the root of the 7-chord produces b7-chord varieties for every single 7-chord and I’ll love you to check them out.<\/p>\n

“Here You Are…”<\/em><\/p>\n

For the B diminished triad (the 7-chord), there’s the Bb major triad (the b7-chord):<\/p>\n

The B diminished triad (the 7-chord):
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bb major triad (the b7-chord):
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the B half-diminished seventh chord (the 7-chord), there’s the Bb major seventh chord (the b7-chord):<\/p>\n

The B half-diminished seventh (the 7-chord):
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bb major seventh chord (the b7-chord):
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the B half-diminished seventh [flat ninth] chord (the 7-chord ), there’s the Bb major ninth chord (the b7-chord):<\/p>\n

The B half-diminished seventh [flat ninth] chord (the 7-chord):
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bb major ninth chord (the b7-chord):
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We could go on and on.<\/p>\n

Attention:<\/strong> Between the diminished quality of the 7-chord and the major quality of the b7-chord, you already can tell that the 7-chord is unpleasant while the b7-chord sounds pleasant.<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

Keep in mind that the b7-chord is not related to the 7 chord in anyway. There are still structural and functional differences between both chords: for example, the former is chromatic while the latter is diatonic.<\/p>\n

We’ll look at the characteristic differences between both chords in a subsequent lesson. Until then, keep enjoying your b7-chord in the major key.<\/p>\n
