why is it called Minor 7th?

Hi Ice, It’s called a minor 7th because it’s the 7th degree of the minor
scale. In western music heptatonic (7 unique tones per octave) is the most
common form of scale. To work out the notes in a minor scale, take any
starting note on the keyboard, then you can work out the intervals with the
formula TSTTSTT – where T=tone, and S=semitone. Semitone is the adjacent
note, Tone is the next but one. Let me know if you need any help with this!
Tom.

Thanks Andy, glad that I can be of assistance. There are sooooooo many
tracks that have these intervals in, too many to list, but hopefully you’ll
get an ear for them!
