What is this poster?
It shows 7-th chords for all modes of Harmonic Minor scale in Roman Numeral System for quick sight-reading and perception
How can this help me?
It allows you to quickly look up a required diatonic chord on any degree of any mode of Harmonic Minor scale
It’s a 2 in 1 poster meaning that it implicitly shows you the formula for all modes of the Harmonic Minor scale which you can make use of when improvising a melody (instead of chords). Formulas are unobtrusively integrated into the table as prefixes to the roman numerals so you don’t have to look up another reference material to find the formula for a scale
It is a common table which is to be treated as a recipe for building both chords and scales. Knowing the formula you can play any scale and chord on any starting note. In other words, 1 table for all 12 keys (C, C♯/D♭, D, D♯/E♭, etc.)
It is useful when you explore modes and want to create a modal chord sequence to play a melody on top of
The layout of this table is a perfect tool for Modal Interchange - a composition technique that is particularly useful when you are creating a harmony and want to deviate from the main key to introduce more colors into your song to make it more interesting and unique. E.g., when playing a chord sequence that is diatonic to the main key you can borrow a chord from the parallel mode and insert it into your existing chord progression
You get to know and understand the scale(s) better. For example, looking at the diagram you notice what kinds of triad chords occur naturally in the scale and which don’t. If you are looking for a scale to contain Augmented chord then you will see that a Major scale is not a good fit as it does not contain it, but a Harmonic minor scale, on the other hand, does offer it

Feel free to leave a comment on the website or here, I would really like to hear your feedback to know what can be improved in this and my future posters. Any comments are welcome. For example, do you like it when it is colourful? Or would you rather prefer a more calm look? Or maybe more vivid? More fun? Formal? Do you like it when there is a short guide/legend on the poster itself? Do you like the idea of a separate accompanying guide to the poster and do you find it helpful? And if we talk about music fundamentals and theory, what other poster you would want to have right now?
And I would sincerely appreciate a helping hand in spreading out the word: if you like my work and find it helpful, please share a link with your friends, make a re-post and give a Like. That would mean and help a lot to me!

Cmaj scale.mp3 Starting at C, lets extract every other note. We wind up with four notes stacked on top of one another:
This is a C Major 7th chord. It is named this because it consists of the first degree of the scale, the major third, the fifth, and the major seventh. In lead sheet notation you signify it as major by the suffixes seen above (M, maj, ∆) Some other ways to think of it are as two perfect fifths a major third apart or as a major third followed by a minor third followed by a major third. (There are other ways to think of it. How many can you think of?)
The 5 Basic 7th Chords to Know
So, we’ve gone over where the major 7th chord comes from. Now, these next four chords I will explain in terms of the major seventh. In other words, if it says b7, that will signify the flatted 7th of the major 7th chord. In next week’s post we will go over where these chords derive from, but for this week, just being able to recognize them will be a good start.
First is the dominant 7th chord. This chord has a flatted 7th with a natural 3rd and 5th. Its chord symbol is signified by, simply, the number 7. In other words, if you see a chord symbol that is simply X7, it is implied to be dominant. Note the unique interval of a tritone (or b5/#4) between the 3rd and the 7th of the chord. This interval lends the chord its tension with both pitches wanting to move toward the tonic chord (the root major). One other way to think of this chord is as a major third followed by a minor third followed by a minor third.
Next, the minor 7th chord. This chord contains a flatted 3rd and 7th. In lead sheet notation a minor 7th is signified by a lowercase m, or the suffix min7. This chord, like the major 7th chord, is based around perfect 4ths and 5ths. I like to think of the two being related, at least in that sense. (Food for thought: what happens when Cmin7 is played over an Ab in the bass?? If you’re confused by this, don’t worry; either ignore it or file it away) Other ways to think of a minor 7th chord are as two perfect fifths a minor third apart, or a minor third followed by a major third followed by a minor third.
Now we come to the half-diminished chord, or the minor 7th with a b5. As seen above, in lead sheet notation this chord is signified by either a circle with a line through it (∅) or the suffix min7b5. I like to think of this chord as mysterious sounding, but you can certainly make your own judgement call. Note again, the tritone between the root of the chord and the b5. This gives tension to a different part of the chord than a dominant chord, which gives it its unique sound. You can also think of this chord as a minor third followed by a minor third followed by a major third.
This is the fully diminished 7th chord. This chord has a b3, b5, bb7 (yes a double flat 7th! This means that you flat the note once, then you flat it again. Bbb=A). Lead sheet wise it’s either written with a circle (º) or with the suffix dim7. Oh what a tense chord! There are two tritones in this chord offset by a minor third, or all minor thirds stacked on top of one another. You can tell by listening to it that either there’s danger afoot or it should move to a more peaceful (or dissonant!) chord.
These five chords are by no means the ONLY 7th chords to exist. They are just the most basic. If you want to do some exploration, see what it sounds like when you try to flat and sharp different parts of the 5 above chords, not to mention the inversions of all the 7th chords. It simply opens the palette to different sounds, which, in modern composition, is half the name of the game. In the next lesson I will take you through where these 5 chords are derived from (I’ve already started with the Cmaj7 above), and how they function (and in a later post, how they move together), so take care to remember this lesson.
