Welcome back!
First let me close the file of the old lessons by giving my answers to the last lesson:
A) (No. 2) D diminished chord: You said I had missed vii in Eb minor. You meant to say vii in Eb minor harmonic and melodic ascending only, didn't you?
B) (No. 6) G b minor chord: You said I did not give the correct response in place of my error which I identified. My correct response: IV in Db Major.
Now for some questions from the new lesson which is pretty clear:
1) Perhaps I don't know my intervals well. What is the difference between the minor 7th and the major 7th? Minor is 5 tones, Major 5.5? Also, in general, are the Major intervals found in the Major scales and the minor intervals in minor scales; or doesn't it have to do anything with the nature of the scale (whether it is Major or Minor)?
2) You refer to a few reasons that cause the Dominant 7th chord to sound unstable, and mentioned the tritone interval as one. What are the other reasons?
3) Are there other unstable chords in need of resolution? Which ones are they (unless I am jumping into the next lessons)?
