For Expert Village this is Mitch Kaplan. In this clip we will be talking about dominant seven chords. This is again very similar to the major seven chord and this is by altering and lowering the seventh a half step. Keeping the major third the same so we have again our root, which is C. We have our third, a major third, which is E. We have our G, which is our fifth and now we lower the seventh a half step and there is your dominant seventh chord.
