Dominant 7th Chords
Major and minor chords only have three notes that make up the sound
of the chord. Seventh chords are essentially major or minor chords with
an added note called the "Seventh," which refers to the seventh or last
note of a scale. You find seventh chords a lot in blues and jazz styles.
There are different types of seventh chords (major 7th, minor 7th, dom-
inant 7th, diminished 7th), however, we're just going to learn some
dominant seventh chords, which tend to show up a lot.
