These ARE the four F7 chord voicings that are used for deriving other chords.

The Big Six Core Chords - F7, Four Voicings

The Big Six Core Chords, Level I - F7, four voicings.

The F7 is a 1 3 5 b7 of the major scale, based on the root of the chord. For F7 the chord tones are: F A C Eb.

These are the four F7 that will be used for deriving other chords.

There are far too many chord shapes to memorize thousands of shapes. From these four F7 chord voicings ALL other 4-part chords can be derived. And, if all else fails in trying to remember or build a chord you can always go back to the F7 and establish a frame of reference.
