Of this interval are at C#-min-3rd.Repeating this for the 5th note / scale degree, the distance between C# and G is 6 half-tones, and the note interval name is diminished (d5). More details of this interval are at C#-dim-5th.Again the 7th note / scale degree, the distance between C# and B is 10 half-tones, and the note interval name is minor (m7). More details of this interval are at C#-min-7th.Finally, we have the name of the three note intervals of this 7th chord, and can now lookup the name of the 7th chord quality having these intervals.Looking at the Seventh chord table, the name of the 7th chord quality having minor(m3), diminished(d5) and minor(m7) note intervals is half-diminished 7th.And so the complete 7th chord Name prefixes the root note, C#, onto this quality, giving us the C# half-dim7 chord.Scale chord names using a,b and c notationThe chord symbol iiø could be followed by the letter a to indicate that it is C# half-diminished 7th chord in root position (ie not inverted) - B minor scale chord iiøa.Instead, iiø could be followed by the letter b to indicate that it is C# half-diminished 7th chord in 1st inversion - B minor scale chord iiøb.Letter c could be used to indicate that it is C# half-diminished 7th chord in 2nd inversion - B minor scale chord iiøc.Finally, letter d could be used to indicate that it is C# half-diminished 7th chord in 3rd inversion - B minor scale chord iiød.Scale chord names using figured bass notationIn place of the a-d symbols above, figured bass symbols could be used to indicate chord positions after iiø:So in this key, iiø7 refers to the C# half-diminished 7th chord in root position.For 7th chord inversions, iiø65 refers to the C# half-diminished 7th chord in 1st inversion, iiø43 refers to the C# half-diminished 7th chord in 2nd inversion, and iiø2 refers to the C# half-diminished 7th chord in 3rd inversion.The next scale chordThe next step will need to calculate the 7th chord whose root / starting note is next scale note.To do this, the first column we

F# and C# is 7 half-tones, and the note interval name is perfect (P5). More details of this interval are at F#-perf-5th.Again the 7th note / scale degree, the distance between F# and E is 10 half-tones, and the note interval name is minor (m7). More details of this interval are at F#-min-7th.Finally, we have the name of the three note intervals of this 7th chord, and can now lookup the name of the 7th chord quality having these intervals.Looking at the Seventh chord table, the name of the 7th chord quality having minor(m3), perfect(P5) and minor(m7) note intervals is minor 7th.And so the complete 7th chord Name prefixes the root note, F#, onto this quality, giving us the F# min 7 chord.Scale chord names using a,b and c notationThe chord symbol v could be followed by the letter a to indicate that it is F# minor 7th chord in root position (ie not inverted) - B minor scale chord va.Instead, v could be followed by the letter b to indicate that it is F# minor 7th chord in 1st inversion - B minor scale chord vb.Letter c could be used to indicate that it is F# minor 7th chord in 2nd inversion - B minor scale chord vc.Finally, letter d could be used to indicate that it is F# minor 7th chord in 3rd inversion - B minor scale chord vd.Scale chord names using figured bass notationIn place of the a-d symbols above, figured bass symbols could be used to indicate chord positions after v:So in this key, v7 refers to the F# minor 7th chord in root position.For 7th chord inversions, v65 refers to the F# minor 7th chord in 1st inversion, v43 refers to the F# minor 7th chord in 2nd inversion, and v2 refers to the F# minor 7th chord in 3rd inversion.The next scale chordThe next step will need to calculate the 7th chord whose root / starting note is next scale note.To do this, the first column we used in this step, F#, will be moved to the final column of the table.Audio downloadsBass

G, B, and D.B minor scale from note #4No.1234567NoteEF#GABC#DIdentifying the chord qualityTo identify the 7th chord quality that has these notes, begin by counting the number of half-tones / semitones between the root and each of the notes.For the 3rd interval (note 2 on the diagram) the distance between E and G is 3 half-tones.Now look at the complete Note interval table, and identify the note interval that has a distance of 3 half-tones (first column), and with an interval no. of 3 (last column).The note interval name for the 3rd note / scale degree is therefore minor, also called m3 for short. More details of this interval are at E-min-3rd.Repeating this for the 5th note / scale degree, the distance between E and B is 7 half-tones, and the note interval name is perfect (P5).
