# Seventh Chords A **seventh chord** is a four-note chord built by stacking thirds above a root note. It consists of: - Root - Third (major or minor) - Fifth (perfect, diminished, or augmented) - Seventh (major or minor) Common types include major seventh (Cmaj7), dominant seventh (C7), minor seventh (Cm7), and half-diminished seventh (Cm7♭5). ## Common Misconception **Misconception**: "Seventh chords are just for jazz." **Reality**: While seventh chords are fundamental to jazz, they're ubiquitous across all Western music genres. The dominant seventh (V7) has been essential to classical harmony since the Baroque period, and seventh chords appear regularly in pop, rock, R&B, gospel, and virtually every contemporary style. Even a basic I-IV-V blues progression uses dominant sevenths throughout.
