C♯7 chord

C♯7 (also written D♭7) is the C# dominant seventh chord. It has 4 notes: C♯ – E♯ – G♯ – B (1 – 3 – 5 – ♭7).

A dominant seventh adds a flat seventh to a major chord. It sounds restless and wants to resolve, usually down a fifth, which makes it the classic V7 chord in gospel, blues and pop.
