What Are Dominant 7th Chords? Guitar Theory Lesson

Dominant 7th chords are created by taking the major triad (1st, 3rd, 5th) and the b7th from the minor scale. This combination gives the chord a unique quality that feels a little unresolved. The combination also creates a whole new family of chord (dominant family), that can then be built upon. The unresolved quality of the chord is why it is so popular in genres such as blues and jazz, as they rely or the creating and resolving musical tension. Here is the dominant 7th formula applied to A: (See website).

Love the videos man, they are definitely the most helpful guitar theory videos I have watched on YouTube. I was just wondering, when constructing chords can the notes be in absolutely any order?

If you only play the 1, 3 & b7, is it still considered a dominant 7 chord?
