    This ones beginning to keep me awake at night!  I thought I knew my sevenths.....but what's the difference between a minor 7th and a dominant 7th.  Initially I thought we were talking about the major triad with the 7th added. So that would be an B or Bb added to the (major) C triad. Is the dominant and minor 7th's  additional note the Bb but the underlying triad is major for a dominant 7th and minor for a minor 7th?

      Brian,

      Here's the scoop!

      Major 7th chord (i.e. Cmaj7, Fmaj7) = 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 or C - E - G - B

      Dominant 7th Chord (i.e. C7, F7) = 1 - 3 - 5 - b7 or C - E - G - Bb

      Minor 7th Chord (i.e. Cm7, Fm7) = 1 - b3 - 5 - b7

      Hope this helps!

      - Steve
