Eb7 chord on guitar
Eb7 is a dominant seventh chord: bluesy and restless, wanting to move. It is built from Eb, G, Bb and Db (formula 1 3 5 ♭7). Dominant sevenths drive the blues and usually resolve up a fourth, to the chord whose root is five frets higher on the same string. The easiest way to play it in standard tuning is xx1323.
