The 7th chords and the importance of articulation

- A 7th chord has one more note than the triad — the 7. The sound of a 7th chord is a little more
complex than the sound of a triad, and it’s extensively used in contemporary music.

- A 7th chord is basically a TRIAD (so a minor and major chord) but then with one note added.
