Of Neuroscience and Jazz -

I like the theory, but he’s just using a major chord as the most complex example. Let’s throw in some sevenths based on his formulas:
-major seventh
-minor seventh
-dominant seventh
-minor major seventh

If you ask me, the dominant 7th wins the beauty competition. Sonically, the minor-major is one of my favorite chords though. :) Which waveform do you like best?

Here are some handy references, of you need them:
