	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Chords in Detail
		Thus, a major thirteenth chord will be a major seventh chord plus a ninth and a thirteenth, while a dominant ninth is a dominant seventh chord plus a ninth.
		The point to remember is that the dominant seventh chord is any chord formed by adding a minor seventh to a major triad.
		If you look at the table above summarising the degree of the scale where each type of seventh chord occurs, you will see that the dominant seventh need not lie only on the Vth degree of the scale, the degree we call the dominant.

	Seventh chord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dominant seventh chord is useful to composers because it is a major chord with a very strong sound, that also includes a tritone between the third and seventh of the chord.
		While the dominant seventh chord is typically built on the fifth (or dominant) degree of a major scale, the minor seventh chord is built on the second, third, or sixth degree.
		Of the eight possible constructions of seventh chords using major and minor thirds, five are most commonly found in western music.

		The Neapolitan chord, for example, is an ordinary major chord, but its root is the lowered supertonic of the corresponding key, so the the Neapolitan of C major is a Db major chord.
		When a chord is referred to as simply a seventh chord, usually the dominant seventh is meant, which is a major triad with a minor seventh, for instance, C-E-G-Bb.
		All triads and 4-voice chords are built within the octave, or eight-note scale which encompasses the do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do of the major scale, for instance, or the scale steps 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8; eight being the octave where the pattern starts over again.

	Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Major Scale Harmony
		As with the major scale over a major seventh chord, the fourth step of the scale (C in the case of G mixolydian) is somewhat of an avoid note over a dominant seventh chord.
		The phrygian mode is used occasionally over a minor seventh chord, although often the chord is written as m7b9 as a hint to the improviser that the phrygian scale is to be used.
		This chord is seldom used, but when it is called for, it is often notated Dm7b6, and is one of the few exceptions to the rule that most chords are written in terms of odd numbered extensions above the seventh.

	"Improv' 101"
		Just as we derived the major seventh chord from the major scale, so can the dominant seventh chord be derived from the mixolydian mode, by using the first, third, fifth, and seventh degrees:
		The same way we took the major scale and lowered certain notes to spell out new modes, it is possible to take the major seventh chord and spell out dominant and minor seventh chords by lowering certain pitches by half-step.
		The same process holds true for creating the dorian mode, for use over a minor seventh chord.

	LSN-06
		For an A Minor Seventh, which is the 6th degree of the C Major Scale, you will have: A-C-E-G Again, notice that the seventh of the chord fits nicely into the C Major scale.
		As in the last lesson, take the chord spelling, and (this is very important) while working with the MAJOR scale built on the root note, modify the notes as indicated on the chart.

	Snippets of Guitar Music Theory
		Major chords are built on the basic major triad (1 3 5) to which may be added the Major 6th or Major 7th notes.
		Each line represents the chord relationship II-V-I. As a broad general rule, in a major key the II chord can be substituted by any chord of the MINOR family (m6, m7, minMaj7, m9, m11, m7b9, m7#5 etc. etc..).
		Dominant chords do not have minor 3rds although this rule is broken in effect by the 7#9 chord where the #9 can be heard as a b3 in the next octave up.

	Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Major Scale Harmony
		Like the major seventh chord, you can add more thirds to the minor seventh chord to obtain Dm9, Dm11, and Dm13.
		That is, an F major scale would contain a Bb while the lydian contains a B. Since the fourth step of the major scale is an avoid note over a major seventh chord, this scale gives the improviser an alternative.
		The seventh and final mode of the major scale is the locrian mode.

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Key Centres
		A functioning dominant seventh, which because of the dissonant 'tritone' between the major third and minor seventh, wants to resolve to a tonic chord, may be replaced with a dominant seventh chord with its root a diminished fifth, a 'tritone', away.
		The tonic minor chord is less effective as a final chord than its major equivalent which explains the reason why the 'tierce de Picardie', a major chord ending a piece of music in a minor key, became attractive.
		The diminished seventh chord has one particularly interesting property; the interval between successive notes is a minor third.

	gamba_seventh_chords_Major
		There are four distinctly different types of seventh chord that arise naturally within the Major scale.
		On each scale degree, note the base triad of each chord (R 3 5) and the type of seventh interval (Major or minor in this case) added above it to form the natural seventh chord of the given degree.
		These seventh chords are derived by using the �chord construction in thirds� technique discussed on the chord construction page.

		A functioning dominant seventh, which because of the dissonant 'tritone' between the major third and minor seventh, wants to resolve to a tonic chord, may be replaced with a dominant seventh chord with its root a diminished fifth, a 'tritone', away.
		While the diminished seventh chord exists within the harmonic minor scale, it can also be used in a major key setting and it is said then to be 'substituting' for the dominant seventh.
		In classical music theory, the diatonic major and minor scales and the harmonies associated with them are called the major and minor modes which should not be confused with the Greek, jazz or church modes, Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian,etc., mentioned in an earlier section.

		Their structure, however, would be the typical major-minor seventh chord as the basis, and all extended notes (9, 11, 13) would be determined by the key signature.
		For diminished structures extending more than a seventh, it is preferable to indicate only the structure of the diminished seventh chord, in terms of half- or fully-diminished, then, use the designation "add 9," "add 11," "add 13," etc. For example, the symbol Cdim9 means a fully diminished seventh chord with an added major ninth.
		E.g., the former graphic symbol for a major-major seventh chord was a small triangle.

	Lesson- 'What Chord Names Mean'
		This hybrid of major and minor is called a dominant-seventh chord.
		The various kinds of seventh chords you may have seen are just triads with an interval of a seventh up from the root added on.
		A minor seventh is one half step smaller than a major seventh, or an interval of five whole steps (ten frets).

	MMC presents... Dansm's Guitar Chord Theory: Seventh Chords
		Major seventh chords are similar to normal seventh chords except they contain a major seventh (five whole steps and one half step) instead of a minor seventh.
		Seventh chords consist of a note added to the top of a major or minor chord.
		For example, your basic E chord consists of E, G#, and B. If you add a minor seventh to an E (the minor seventh of E is D), you have an E7 chord.

	Lesson- 'What Chord Names Mean'
		Since the result is basically a dominant-seventh chord (because of the major third in the triad and the minor seventh on top) with an augmented fifth, the chord is called an augmented-seventh chord.
		So it makes a certain kind of sense: a maj7 chord is a major triad plus a major-seventh interval, a m7 chord is a minor triad plus a minor-seventh interval, and a dim7 chord is a diminished triad plus a diminished seventh.
		One essential use for a diminished chord is as a connection between I and ii; try Example 3, in which you connect D and Em by way of a D#dim7 chord.

	The Augmented 15th Chord - An Unseen Gem in the History of Music Harmony - Enrique Ubieta
		Therefore, this union consisting of both seventh chords could have been of great historical importance to music, considering it represented a genealogical relationship between an ancestor (the dominant major-seventh chord) and its analogous descendant (the secondary major-seventh chord), which has ever since habitually practiced its harmonic function over the first and fourth degrees of tonality.
		plus the major-seventh chord (upper tetrad), a chord whose repeated use, goes back to the early days of musical impressionism, and which becomes mundane later on in western pop music.
		Although the augmented-fifteenth chord should not be subject to any sort of alteration, it could, however, be reduced to seven or six of its eight notes by eliminating the fifth degree of one or both tetrads of the chord, respectively.

		The most commontype of seventh chord in classical harmony, however, is the dominant seventh, which is obtained by ading a minor seventh to the major triad built on the fifth note of the major scale, also called the ominant.
		Locrian Mode The seventh and final mode of the major scale is the locrian mode.
		The phrygian mode is used occasionally over a minor seventh chord, although ften the chord is written as m7b9 as a hint to the improviser that the phrygian scale is to be used.There are certain other situations in which the phrygian scale sounds good.
