Surely enough, there is a bVII chord in today’s key chord lesson, KC6 In A Accidentals. In the key of A, G would be the bVII (flat 7) chord, the major chord built on the note that is a half tone below the seventh scale tone. The seventh tone of the A scale would be G#. The G natural, which is one half step below the naturally occurring seventh step of the scale! is not a itself a member of the A major scale.
