The Application Of The Major Seventh Chord In The Formation Of Chord 1<\/h3>\n<p>The major seventh chord can be applied in the formation of the chord of the first degree. It&#8217;s as simple as forming a major seventh chord on the first tone of the scale.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of Ab major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the major seventh chord can be formed on the first tone (which is Ab):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consequently, the Ab major seventh chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,C,Eb,G,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is chord 1 in the key of Ab major.<\/p>\n<h3>#2. The Application Of The Major Seventh Chord In The Formation Of Chord 2<\/h3>\n<p>The major seventh chord can be applied in the formation of chord 2: the chord of the second tone of the scale.<\/p>\n<p>The major seventh that corresponds with the root of the second tone is always three half-steps above the second tone of the scale.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of Ab major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the second tone is Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,,,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe corresponding major seventh chord is three half-steps above Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,,,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Quickly&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What tone is three half-steps above Bb?<\/p>\n<p>Answer: Db<\/p>\n<p>Bb to B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,B,,,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;first half-step.<\/p>\n<p>B to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,C,,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;second half-step.<\/p>\n<p>C to Db:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Db,,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;third half-step.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Alright!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So the corresponding major seventh chord (which is the Db major seventh chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Db,F,Ab,C,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;played over the second tone of the scale (which is Bb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,,,&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces chord 2 (the Bb minor ninth chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hearandplaymusic.com\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,,,Db,F,Ab,C&amp;color=FF00FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nFollowing the same procedure, chord 2 can be formed in any degree of the scale.<\/p>\n<h3>#3.
