12.4 The Diatonic Chord Progression with 7th Chords

What we see in the progression is that, for the most part, chords that were major triads before are now Maj7 chords, and the chords that were minor triads are now min7 chords. There are two exceptions: the dim7 chord and the Dom7 chord.

Just like our diatonic chord progression using triads, this one shows us a pattern that will work in any key. The pattern for 7th chords is:

Maj7 - min7 - min7 - Maj7 - Dom7 - min7 - dim7 - Maj7.

The diminished 7th chord is still just a diminished chord like we've seen before, except it has a 7th on it now (a minor 7th). You may hear it called a "half-diminished 7th chord." This is actually not one of our four types of 7th chords, because diminished 7th chords get treated a little differently. The diminished 7th chord has a similar sound to the diminished triad.
