Something that I have misunderstood 3 times today now is this V7 thing.. I was thinking it's the fifth chord from the root played in the dominant 7 mode or whatever.. But from your explanation after that, it doesn't sound right at all now..



Well D7 is D dominant 7.. which would be the 2nd chord from the root.. (a whole step/tone).. not the fifth like I thought.. So if you're moving from D7 to G.. that's II7/V isn't it?..

I believe what quickfingers is trying to point out is the Secondary Dominant.
In C, G is dominant....In G, D is dominant.....So, D would become the secondary dominant.
Hope that helps.......
