Answer 2

well, let's say you're in the key of C. a V7 would read. G B D E

thats a dominished 7th

a major 7th would be G B D F

Answer 3

A diminished 7th is NOT a V7. This is wrong.

The V is roman numerals for 5 - it is referring to the 5th chord in a major key, which is a dominant 7th (spelled 1,3,5,b7). In the key of Cmajor G7 is the V7 (G,B,D,F). A Gdim7 would also have an Fb, not an E because it should have a bb7, not a 6.

Answer 4

... an inversion of a V7 therefore, would be a re-ordering of those notes.

So: 3,5,b7,1 (B,D,F,G for G7)
or: 5,b7,1,3 (D,F,G,B for G7)
etc...

Answer 5

Sorry, I didn't see that he wanted an inversion. Sorry about the whole diminished thing. I'm a little rusty. I get my guitar and theory crossed sometimes. As for the double flatted 7th. I think it's ridiculous. No one is going to say Fb, it's an E. I know it's one of the theory rules but I don't like it.

Answer 6

I dig what you're saying about enharmonics. I'd play an E, think E, see E... but if I was spelling it for an exam/class, anything on paper, I'd go with Fb because sometimes a lecturer will get anal about that sort of thing. Also a G major 7th would have an F#. Not an F. But now I'm just nitpicking.

Answer 7

V7 is G, B, D, F
half diminished 7 is G, Bb, Db, Fb
fully diminished 7 is G, Bb, Db, Fbb
