Dominant 7th arpeggios are 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 dominant 7th chords, but also in extended chords in transposed form. For detailed analysis, see our study on superimposing arpeggios.
