Seventh chords are movement chords. This means that when
you hear a G7, your ear will tell you that this chord
wants to go somewhere. You don't feel a sense of rest
like a plain G chord, G7 has a pulling effect that you
ear wants to hear resolved. Although this resolution does
not always and should not always happen, G7 wants to go
to a C chord (or Cm). Practice playing a G7 and then a
C and you will hear a very familiar sound.
