A dominant seventh chord can be represented by the integer notation {0, 4, 7, 10} relative to the dominant.

    The most common chords are tertian, constructed using a sequence of major thirds (spanning 4 semitones) and/or minor thirds (3 semitones). Since there are 3 third intervals in a seventh chord (4 notes) and each can be major or minor, there are 7 possible permutations (the 8th one, consisted of four major thirds, results in a non-seventh augmented chord, since a major third equally divides the ...

    Since the tritone is a distinguishing feature of the sound of a dominant 7th chord, [5] a D ♭ 7 chord may thus replace G7. Tritone substitution works very well on standards, because the chord progressions typically utilize the II – V–I progression and the circle of fifths. For example, a jazz standard using a chord progression of Dm7 ...

    A minor seventh would be added to the dominant "V" chord to increase tension before resolution (V 7 –i). [2] The roots of the chords belong to a modern phrygian tetrachord (the equivalent of a Greek Dorian tetrachord, [10] the latter mentioned above), that is to be found as the upper tetrachord of a natural minor scale (for A minor, they are: A G F E).

    Traditionally, "the main use for harmonic minor, when improvising or creating melodies, is over the V7 chord, not for use over the i chord." [8] For example, in the key of A minor, the dominant (V) chord (the triad built on the 5th scale degree, E) is a minor triad in the natural minor scale.
