Generation

A seventh chord is built by stacking four notes in thirds above a root note, extending the basic triad by adding one more note a seventh interval above the root. The most common types are the major seventh (like Cmaj7: C-E-G-B), dominant seventh (C7: C-E-G-B♭), minor seventh (Cm7: C-E♭-G-B♭), and half-diminished seventh (Cm7♭5: C-E♭-G♭-B♭). Each type has a distinct sound quality determined by which seventh interval is used (major or minor) and what type of triad forms its foundation. These chords add harmonic richness and tension-resolution possibilities beyond basic triads, making them essential in jazz, classical, and popular music.
