MAJOR 7TH MUSIC CHORD
|
| MAJOR 7TH A Major 7th chord is a group of harmonic notes that also has a very complete sound. This chord adds the 7th note of a scale (in the current key) to the notes of a Major chord. 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. In this case, a Major 7th chord is made up of the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th notes of the scale. For a C Major 7th chord then (key of C), the notes of this chord would be: C, E, G and B. This chord would be abbreviated: CM7 |
