➤ Usually heard as V7/V
➤ Can be heard as II7 when it resolves to I, or:
➤ In first inversion II7/3 it resolves to IV or IVm

H4 pg 36
VII7
➤ Can function as a reharmonisation of Io7 - when it’s used like this it can be preceded by it’s related IIm7(b5).
➤ Cadences back to Imaj7
♭VI7
➤ Looks the same as subV7/V BUT:
➤ It doesn’t resolve to V7 - it resolves to I or I/5
➤ It is almost always preceded by I and sometimes it’s related IIm7
➤ Can be located on a strong stress and last for several bars
VI7
➤ Looks like a V7/II
➤ Can resolve to IV or #IVm7(b5)
♭III7 AND ♭V7
➤ These chords are based on blue notes
➤ bIII7 can function as a bluesy alternative to bIIImaj7, not commonly found

➤ Proud Mary
