Dominant Seventh Chord
Progressions including the dominant seventh chord are handled in the same
manner as any V chord. For macro analysis, observe the following guidelines:
-
For dominant seventh chords, include a "7" along with the letter
name.
Example: G7
- Numbers for inversions of the dominant seventh chord should be included with
the roman numerals.
Remember, this analysis includes two lines. The top line is the non-traditional
portion of the analysis and includes letter names and slurs. The lower
line is the traditional analysis and includes roman numerals and inversion
numbers. A macro analysis for a Joplin example appears below.
