C 7: 4 VOICE 12 POSITIONS (DOMINANT OF F MAJ) THIS CHORD IS IN THE KEY OF F MAJOR. THUS, THE Bb. THE TERM "FLAT 7" CONFUSES ISSUES, BECAUSE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN TERMS OF THE ORIGINAL DIATONIC KEY. REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE FOUR NOTES IN C7: C-E-G-Bb. IF YOU WRITE OUT THE NOTES OF F MAJOR AND BUILD A CHORD IN SUCCESSIVE THIRDS STARTING WITH C, YOU WILL GET THIS CHORD. THE TERM "FLAT 7" IS BLUES SLANG, BECAUSE THE CHORDS IN A I-IV-V BLUES DO NOT COME FROM DIATONIC SCALES. THEY ARE ALL DOMINANT SEVENTH FORMS, AND BLUES HARMONY IS A FASCINATING INTUITIVE HYBRID OF DIATONIC AND PARALLEL HARMONY. THE BELOW WILL CONSTITUTE THE FIRST SET OF THE FORMS WE CAN GENERATE TAKING THOSE FOUR NOTES ACROSS ANY 4 STRINGS AT A TIME THESE EXAMPLES ARE ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE BLUES/JAZZ GAME. NINTHS, ELEVENTHS, -5‘S AND THIRTEENTHS COME INTO PLAY AS WELL.
