Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop too

00:05

sure brought to you by snow white and the seven

00:07

chords The only one we can ever remember is dopey

00:11

or dopey All right here's our question What kind of

00:14

cord is shown above and hear your potential answers All

00:17

rights budget seven Okay well chords are a little bit

00:21

like pancakes And no not in that We get really

00:24

excited when mom makes him for dinner instead of breakfast

00:26

If mom made cords for any meal we'd probably just

00:29

be a little hungry But like pancakes cords air notes

00:32

stacked on top of each other we can determine what

00:35

kind of court it is by looking at the interval

00:37

between the notes that let's take a look at a

00:40

major seventh chord First we start with a major third

00:43

than a minor third stacked on top of that and

00:45

finished off by another major third But that's not the

00:49

chord we see above So answer d is not what

00:51

we're craving Well how about this Stack A dominant seventh

00:54

chord is just like a major seventh chord Except the

00:57

top interval is a minor third instead of a major

01:01

That's also not what we want Well answer c is

01:04

just ruining our appetite Okay how about something kind of

01:06

jazzy Ah half diminished seventh chords starts with a minor

01:09

third on the bottom than a major third in the

01:11

middle topped off by another major third Nice chord you

01:15

betcha but be still isn't hitting the spot At last

01:18

we get to the fully diminished pancake a chord Here

01:22

we have three minor third interval stacked on top of

01:25

each other and if we take another look at our

01:27

question yet three minor third intervals right here here and

01:31

here So answer is the stack we want finally chow

01:34

time and we never knock mom's cooking but well this

01:37

is way better than the tuna fifth casserole she made 00:01:41.336 --> [endTime] last weekend
