       Seventh Chords
       By: bonesjonesmusic Date: June 6, 2012, 2:27 pm

       A chord is typically three or more notes sounded/played
       simultaneously. The simplest kind of chord is called a triad
       (three) and is made up of three notes. When you add a fourth
       note to a simple chord or triad, it becomes a seventh chord.
       Here are four types of seventh chords: major seventh (Cmaj7),
       minor seventh (Cmin7), dominant seventh (C7), half-diminished
       seventh (Cm7b5).
       Here are some examples of common seventh chords and the notes
       they contain:
       Cmaj7: C-E-G-B
       Dmin7: D-F-A-C
       G7:      G-B-D-F
       Am7b5: A-C-Eb-G
       E7:      E-G#-B-D
       *Remember that chords are built in thirds. Start with the root
       (1), add a third above that (3rd), add a third above that (5th),
       add a third above that (7th).
