Ear Training XI - 7th Chords in Closed, Drop 2, and Drop 3 Voicings

Continuing a series of ear training exercises on 7th chords, this exercise randomly plays root position 7th chords in closed, Drop 2, and Drop 3 voicings. Drop 2 voicings are more tightly packed than Drop 3 voicings and tend to require more fingers. When I am in doubt as to the voicing of a particular chord I will often listen for the highest note. In a Drop 3 chord this will always be the chordal fifth and in a Drop 2 voicing it will be the chordal third.
