MINOR 7TH MUSIC CHORD
|
| MINOR 7TH A Minor 7th chord is a group of harmonic notes that begins with a minor chord and then adds a dominant 7th (flatted 7th note of the scale). To determine which notes are to be used for this chord, let us look at a scale. We will use a scale in the key of C to show how this chord is put together: Scale in Key of C
A scale in the key of C shown above are the normal notes that one might expect in a song. Instead of calling the notes C, D, E, etc. or 1, 2, 3 , we also could think of the sequence as the singing notes: do, re, me fa, so, la ti do. Chromatic Scale starting with C
A chromatic scale is all of the possible musical notes - and not just the notes in the C scale. Note that between two "whole steps" such as C to D, that there is a "half step" in between, that we could call C# (C sharp) or we could also call Db (D flat). Note that C# and Db are the same note, and could be called by either name. Basically, one half step down from D is the same as one half step up from C. In this case, a Minor 7th chord is made up of the 1st, flatted 3rd , normal 5th and flatted 7th (dominant 7th) notes of the scale. For a C Minor 7th chord then (key of C), the notes of this chord would be: C, Eb, G, Bb. This chord would be abbreviated: Cm7 Musicord Software Note The Musicord Software shown below for Windows, includes minor 7th chords as well as many other chord types. |
