We know that we can use G7 instead of G often, but sometimes can not. We sometimes can not clearly see the difference between G7 and G. But sometimes can. We just check this first.
Let it Be is one of my favorite song and I sing it with my soprano often.

Just play G7 instead of G on your ukulele. I think we can play it. Then play C7 instead of C next. I think it is bit different. It sounds bit jazzy. Actually 7th chords are basic of jazz. They use 7th cords (C7) instead of triads (C). What makes the difference?

If it were dominant, we can use both G and G7. If it were tonic, it is bit jazzy (I don't say it impossible to use here). Same thing happens to E and E7 too. Hence we just need to check when E tonic or dominant is (See the figure below). i is tonic and V is dominant in the figure below. In this discussion, we don't use subdominant because E becomes subdominant only key of B, and we don't care about key of B here.

When key of A or Am (green in the figure above), we can play E7 instead of E. It can be jazzy only when the key is E (yellow).

Don't be afraid of key of E. E is guitar key. He has two E strings (See the figure above), he is good at key of E. But the key signature is weird, apparently it is not our key.
Let's play E7 instead of E!
