Guitar chord

F 7 chord F7

A seventh (dominant seventh) chord: a major chord with a seventh on top. It builds a tension that pulls toward the next chord: the sound of blues and rock 'n' roll.

Its notes: F, A, C, and E♭.

How to play it

  • index: barre on fret 1, strings 6 to 1
  • middle: fret 2, string 3
  • ring: fret 3, string 5

On the dots: 1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = little finger. Strings go from 6 (low E) to 1 (high E).

Where it leads

A 7 chord pulls toward the chord a fifth below: B♭ major (Bb). That is the move at the end of phrases, and all over the blues.
