Therefore we just need to add one extra note to a triad in order to construct a 7th chord. The reason it is called a 7th chord is because we are adding the seventh note from the scale to the chord. To construct a major 7th, play a major triad and add the 7th. To construct a minor 7th, play a minor triad and add the flattened 7th. To construct a dominant 7th, play a major triad and add the flattened 7th. You can think of a major 7th as a '3-2-3' chord, a minor 7th as a '2-3-2' chord and a dominant 7th as a '3-2-2' chord. Use this trick to help work out these chords in any key. ******************************************* PianoPig is an online platform for piano lessons in HD, covering scales, chords, soloing and more.
