Lesson 10

• a 7th only appears in root position
• in a leadsheet there is always a 7th no matter what type of chord it is

• A Seventh Chord can be defined as a triad made up of a root, a third, a fifth, and seventh counting from the root.
• Types of 7th Chords include dominant seventh, major seventh chord, minor seventh Chord,half diminished seventh chord, diminished seventh chord to name a few examples.
• each 7th is determined by finding out what the triad is first, then the 7th, for example a dominnat 7th consists of a major triad and minor 7th
• dominant 7ths will resolve to the 1 degree of scale
• These chords serve as dominant major key
• An invesrion of a seventh chord is simply moving the lowest note up an octave
