Seventh Chords!
Seventh Chords Any and all triads can be made into a seventh chord by adding a 7 th above the fifth in the triad
Types of Seventh Chords Recap - With triads, you have the four types: major, minor, augmented, and diminished. Seventh (7 th) chords are slightly trickier, because there are five types to keep track of.
Diatonic 7 th Chords in a MAJOR KEY When you build 7 th chords using the diatonic triads of a major key, you get the following: There are M 7, m 7, Dominant 7 or V 7, and a halfdiminished 7 th chord (So, no fully diminished 7 ths)
Common Diatonic 7 th Chords in a MAJOR KEY M 7 - I M 7 and IV M 7 Mm 7 - V m 7 - ii 7, iii 7, and vi 7 Half-diminished 7 - vii° 7 Fully Diminished - none
Diatonic 7 th Chords in a MINOR KEY When you build 7 th chords using the diatonic triads in a minor key*, you get the following: There are m 7, half-diminished 7, M 7, V 7 (Dominant 7 th), and fully diminished 7 th present…so, yes, all of them. You’re welcome.
Common Diatonic 7 th Chords in a MINOR KEY M 7 - III M 7 and VI M 7 Mm 7 - V 7 (Dominant 7 th) m 7 - i 7 and iv 7 Half-diminished 7 - ii ° 7 Fully-diminished 7 - vii° 7
Anomalies: A m. M 7 chord - a minor triad with a major 7 th. This will pretty much only occur in a minor key when using a leading tone. Ex - i m. M 7 incorporating a leading tone An Augmented triad with a minor OR major 7 th. This will occur in a minor key on the III chord when incorporating a leading tone, thereby making the chord augmented instead of major.
Warm-UP What are the 5 types of 7 th chords? Use correct symbols. What is the triad/seventh breakdown of a mm 7 chord? What is the triad/seventh breakdown of a halfdiminished 7 th chord? Why did the Dominant 7 th get it’s name? What is the other name for a dominant 7 th? What is your favorite 7 th chord? Why?
