The dominant 7th arpeggio is built by stacking a major third (from the root A to the major third C-sharp) followed by two minor thirds (from C-sharp to the fifth E and from E to the seventh G). This structure is not only found in the dominant 7th chord, but also in extended chords in transposed form. For detailed analysis, see our study on superimposing arpeggios.
