  Seventh chord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because a variety of sevenths may be added to a variety of chords, there are many types of seventh chords, depending on the type of triad and the quality of the seventh.
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.

Generally speaking, a diminished chord is a chord which has a diminished fifth in it.
This equivocal chord is ambiguous as to root because a diminished seventh chord built from any note of it produces that same chord.
The diminished seventh chord comprises frequencies that are equally spaced when considered on a logarithmic axis, and thus divides the octave into four logarithmically equal portions.

A chord symbol is a letter and/or accidental which indicates a root pitch on which a chord is to be built and other symbols which indicate the chord quality.
In this example the guitarist strums an A minor-minor seventh chord, a D major-minor seventh chord, a G major-major seventh chord, and a C major-major seventh chord.
The chord is spelled F#, A, C, E. Finally a B major-minor seventh chord is followed by an Em triad.

A seventh chord has at least one dissonant interval in it, and therefore is not a stable sonority; in tonal music, a seventh chord will require a resolution.
According to this nomenclature, the seventh chords built on the I and on the IV in a major key (C-E-G-B and F-A-C-E in C major) are major-major seventh chords.
A fully diminished seventh chord consists of all minor thirds, and is diatonic in a minor key, built on the raised seventh scale degree, as in the harmonic minor scale.

 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.
Chords like this are often used to heighten the drama of returning from V to I; for two examples from the classic rock canon, consider the last chord of the verse in both the Beatles’ "Oh Darling" and the Allman Brothers’ arrangement of T-Bone Walker’s "Stormy Monday."
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.

 Minor ninth chord   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Recall that chords come in two basic parts, a letter name (C, C#, etc.) also known as a root note (tonic, 1), and a descriptive part that abbreviates the name of the chord (is a short-hand for all the intervals of each distinct note from the root note).
In the natural minor (minor scale, or aeolian mode), the m9 is the i9, and the iv9 (in the key of Am: Am9= (A,C,E,G,B), Dm9= (D,F,A,C,E)).
In the harmonic minor scale, the m9 occurs on the iv9.

In the former case, its largest interval is a minor seventh, which can again mutually narrow itself into a fifth, or asymmetrically to a minor or major sixth or even into a diminished seventh.
In the case of the expansion the largest interval to be heard is nearly always an augmented sixth, which expands into an octave; the expansion of the minor seventh to the octave (with simultaneous falling of the lower tones) is an exceptional case.

 19 tone equal tempered guitar chords
From a just intonation point of view, 19 is a sensible equal temperment because it gives greater purity of major and minor thirds (and their inversions the major and minor sixths) than 12 tone equal temperament, yet it does not have an overwhelmingly large number of pitches per octave.
Similarly, minor chords are defined as a root followed by the tone 5 steps higher and then the note 6 steps up.
All chords are "bar" chords in the sense that they are moveable up and down the fretboard and the root of the chord is circled.
