A '''dominant seventh chord''' is a [[tetrad]] comprising a root, a [[major]] third, a fifth, and a [[minor]] seventh. The name of the chord derives from the dominant[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_(music)] scale degree, which is the only degree of a [[diatonic scale]] on which it is found. However, in many musical genres, “dominant seventh chord” informally refers to any chord with this general structure, regardless of where it appears in the overall scale. | A '''dominant seventh chord''' is a [[tetrad]] comprising a root, a [[major]] third, a fifth, and a [[minor]] seventh. | ||
