The 7th chord is basically like a normal chord (root, third, fifth), but with the 7th note added. They are mainly used in jazz, but other musical genres can also get a nice flavor adding them in song progressions here and there.

Not only is the chord played in a different position, but the note order is changed around. This results in different sounds from the chords as different notes are emphasized. It's also used in soloing, but that's at a later stage and is somewhat 'Jazzy' in approach.

In this second Jazz Notes lesson we will take a look at some basic triads and their inversions. Triads are just about the simplest type of chord you can get.
