I don't get that. So what chords use a natural seventh? I thought the root (say C) used the third fifth and seventh of the scale its in. Why would it use the flatened 7th if the flatened 7th isn't in the key of Cmaj (The key the chord progression is in)?
Say im playing the D in a Cmaj chord progression. Shouldn't the seventh chord be D, F, A, C(C being the seventh)? Or would it be Cb for some reason? Just trying to clear this up a bit.

a 7 chord implies a dominant 7, so C7 would be C E G Bb. C major 7 would be C E G B
