Why A7 is called A7,

what makes it makes it 7 ?

What is the maning of 7 ?

Thanks

@curvenut

What makes a 7th chord a 7th chord, is the first octave (or second ) is lowered to a seventh note instead.

This gives the chords a new interestihng sound, and is used in many songs.

However, to really understand this, I advice you to do try to learn more music theory so all of ths makes sense to you! ;p

fucking advertising

[tjbreeze33]

i play these chords differently

[aPsYcHoTikNinJa]

I learnt the 7th chords by flattening the 8th note in the major scale (octave) by a whole step, so in A the 8th note would be A then flattened a whole step making G, so G is the note you add to your A chord to make a dominant 7th...I think? Like Dusky said, the A major scale has a G# as the 7th note, not G. But I'm not sure if the A7 is pulled from the major scale.

[mihaitza76]

In the scale of A, the SEVENTH is the G note (SOL). If you ADD that note, the SEVENTH (dominant 7th), the A chord (A,C#,E) becomes a dominant 7th chord. the same with all others. The same with 5ths,13s,11s...:-?? I think so. Hope everything's alright.

[DuskY1991]

Don't you have to flatten the 7th note first? Because the 7th note in the scale of A actually is a G#. However if you use G, you've got yourself a maj7 chord.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

=)

[mihaitza76]

the 7th note in the scale of A, also called "sub-tonic' si the G. when you flatten it, it becomes a min7 chord. i think that's right. you don't have to laugh.

[DuskY1991]

Sorry if I'm double posting this, Firefox returned an error message.

The A major scale would contain the notes: A B C# D E F# G# right?

Amaj7 chord would be: A C# E G#, right?

Am7 chord would be: A C E G, right?

And an A7 would be: A C# E G, right?

Remember, the A7 chord does not occur in the A major scale.

[mihaitza76]

Apologies if I said something wrong. You're probably right and I must have learned badly the scale of A...

I thought the 8th note is the G... i checked my notes...anyways...:-?? I also asked a teacher and he told me that there are major chords with maj7s and major chords with minor 7ths...didn't understand a clue...and he told me that I really should learn intervals... Anyways, sorry! cheers and good luck.

[DuskY1991]

No sweat man, we all have to learn. =)

The 8th note is the A again, the tonic. But the interval is an octave.

However i don't understand the other thing about what your teacher said. =D

[mihaitza76]

sorry, i meant the 7th note. you're right, the 8ght note is the tonic, the A again...

We also have different intervals,like thirds, fifths...no matter... :)

[gEoRgEsTrAiTjUnKiE91]

Your lessons are really helpful :D I'm learning alot!!!! Thanks.

[rabinsays]

you are famous.

[frunchzz]

nice

Justin do you have any lesson explaining how an A becomes an A7? which note changes what is the relationship, etc. I really need to learn that. Hope you can help :)

[rk6314]

In a 7 chord, you're just adding the flattened seventh to a major chord. e.g. an A major chord has A, C#, E as its notes. The 7 chord adds the G to the major chord. That makes it the 7 chord.

[WeCryMercyMusic]

Good stuff, as always!

[Renegadesays]
