If you only know the triads but not the scales, its very reliable to go one whole step below the name (root) of the chord to find the dominant 7th.
I just found your channel and i love it.
Thanks!
Zabardast, cheers from Toronto...
Nice presentation, Thank you. Very easy to understand your demonstration of the Dominant 7th Chord. Thanks again, God Bless you
It’s very helpful and easy
As an act of kindness I want to thank you for this level five piano lesson 🙏
BEST CHANNELLLL!!!!
This help explain something I've been wondering about for a while. When you look up a C dom 7 chord in a chord book, it consists of C E G Bb. But when you look at dom 7 arpeggio in C it consists of G B D F. So if I understand correctly, "play a C dom 7 chord" and "play the dom 7 chord of C" are two different things.
Terry Kloepfer Thank you- I’ve been confused by this for a while.
i was jus as confused about this. nobody could have explained the concept more simply than this now.
Yes thanks a lot! Went through a lot of resources for this clarification!
Nicely done! Thanks
I’m a grade 5 level and your videos really help me with theory thank you so much!!! I’m learning classics music now and it’s so important to know it
abrsm or rcm
Thank you, very helpful.
As an act of kindness I want to thank you for this video lesson level five🙏
nice video
This is good for gread 7 ABRSM too. I'm learning dominant 7th scales. Thanks for doing this video!
Thank you
I love your videos.They're so much fun while very informative at the same time. I'm a lifelong music lover and score collector. My favorite piano pieces are Beethoven's Diabelli Variations and Schoenberg's Klavierstücke op.23.
This helped me sooooo much I have been looking for these kinds of videos but couldn't find any good quality videos. You just helped me sooooooooooooooo much. ;)
That helped a lot
There's another formula to build dominant 7th chords easily : you take the tonal then you add the diminished triad of the major 3rd note ( e.g. C7 = C note + E diminished ).
Not my level yet, but it's nice to at least understand the notion. Nice explanation as always :)
I was just looking up jazz today and this chord came up. Also funny thumbnail lol
I find the diminished 7th so much easier to play... it fits the hand so much better than the dominant 7th.
Nice. Something I would use on the piano is to play the 7th degree triad with right hand and play the 5th degree root octaves with left hand as close to right as as possible. Your left thumb and right hand will combine to make the dom7 chord.
If Cdom7 is written on lead sheet you would play C,E,G,Bb right? You wouldn’t play G,E,B,F like you show in this video?
Correct. I think her point, which was confusing, and kind of irrelevant at least to me, is that the dominate chord of any key is always the V chord. You don't really need to break out "theory" to make that point.
Wait, so for instance, if I were to play a C7, i would usually play C, E, G, and B, buy your saying for the key of C you would start on A. Is this the difference between C7 and Dominant C7 or am I wrong either way?
do yoou think there are such things as secondary dominant?. Some say the terminology is inaccurate.
Is there a significance to these chords? Otherwise they demand that you know the dominant of a key, and you a 7th chord. Like, one thing I can think of is that they really want to resolve to the tonic of the key. Is that why they are name after the tonic and not the dominant itself?
The couple tonic-dominant is one of the cornerstone of music between 1750 and 1850. The dominant 5th and 7th are used extensively in just about any composition of that period as the opposite pole to the tonic harmony. Vast majority of sonata forms are built on that opposition.
@@sdka9922 , thank you.
hii Can you teach Me ?
Your fingering is not consistent ascending and descending and not consistent for the same chord inversion on the F7 example. Going ascending 1235-1234-1235-1235 and finally 1234, so 2 different fingering for the root position. Going descending 1234-1235-1235-1245-1234. So on the first inversion you use both 1234 and 1245. The 1235 with the 5th finger on Bflat in root position is a quite usual position.
got ya bitch
I have a question, when you do the dominant 7 chord, with one hand, You don't play the tonic note, why?
When I do a dominant 7, I play the tonic and the dominant on the left hand and a chord starting with the third, I don't know if is ok that way, cause it completes the 1 - 3 - 5 - b7 way of the chord
I'm not totally sure I understand your question. By tonic, are you referring to the tonic of the "new" dominant chord, or the tonic of the original key? For instance, the dominant in the key is C is G. So the dominant 7th is G,B,D,F. Often this is played in the first inversion if B, (D), F & G. Based on that, can you clarify your question?
@@AZmom60 yes, a was referring to the tonic of the key, but now I understand, I think, in that key, you can do the dominant 7 chord, from the dominant of the tonic key
@@kotesaosin yes!
You are not using the proper terminology. A chord does not have a tonic, it has a root (fundamental). IN C major, the tonic is C and the dominant in the key of C is G. Build on G , you will have the dominant (5th or 7th or 9th) chord. G is the root of that chord. In a given key, there is only one Dominant. When in the fundamental position the root is also the bass, when inverted, there is a bass note which is not the root. You can play a chord with one hand or both hands, inverted or not.
@@sdka9922 you are right. I couldn't think of the word Root for some reason!
What a coincidence I was just googling about them.
Hello
Interesting. Why don't we call the chord A C# E G Adom7?
pause at 0:00
Isn't Dominant chord looks the same with major 7th
just lowering the 7th chord of a major 7th?
IKR. I've always just memorized that a dom7 is the V chord with a flat 7 added; you play it to go back to the I chord.
