How to Write a G7 Chord on a Staff

Chords are one of the most commonly used types of composite notes used in music. Most chords are developed using the harmonic scales. Chords usually derive three or so notes played at the same time. When a good chord is played, it resonates as a single note, and gives the presence of only one note. For this reason, chords are able to be played, similar to notes, in scales creating fluent movement along the harmonic scale.
