Warren McPherson's piano tutorial on seventh chords made easy (major 7ths and dominant 7ths).
The major seventh chord is constructed with a major third, perfect fifth, and major seventh.
Approach to playing the major seventh chord: Build a major chord, go to its octave, lower by half step.
The dominant seventh chord is similar to the major seventh, with the seventh lowered by a half step.
Dominant seventh chords create tension and are used in blues progressions, as secondary dominants for modulation.
