Essential Blues Guitar Lessons [7 of 27] Electric Blues For Intermediates

Let’s start by looking at the chord construction for the dominant 7th chord, as well as why we 1/2 use them in the blues. So, to construct a dominant 7th chord you need to take the following notes from any major scale:

root, 3rd, 5th, b7th

This demonstrates clearly that the chord is based very mch on a major chord (with the root, 3rd and 5th being a major chord) and then we bring in a minor element, which is the b7th. This construction creates a totally unique set of chord known as dominant chords.
