E♭7 chord

E♭7 (also written D♯7) is the Eb dominant seventh chord. It has 4 notes: E♭ – G – B♭ – D♭ (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.
