  • What's so dominant about the dominant 7 chord, you ask? Allow me to explain. A flat 7 means you take the seventh note in the major scale and scoot it down by one. When you add that flat 7 to any major chord, you get a dominant 7, or seventh chord.

    This was so helpful again man any chance you could do one for minor 7ths? Or maybe even a video on harmonizing the major scale with 7th chords?

      +Conor Spierin Yeah definitely, I for sure will have a minor 7 one up here in the next week or so, and I'll start thinking something up for the whole scale, too. Thanks for watching.

    Does the implied 1 or 5 notes only work when the remaining notes have a 1 or 5 on the lowest string of the remaining notes? I have tried simply removing the 1 and 5 from other forms than the ones that you demonstrated and those seem to be the ones that work.

    The most important notes are here the f and the b note, because of the tritone distance, giving the essential tension in the DOM 7 chords

    Turning the II chord into a dominant 7 sounds good too. The flat 7 note on the II chord is the same as the root note.

    Wouldn't it be easier to play the minor natural scale to find the 7th note within a scale? It means you don't have to scoot the 7th note down a half step when you're in the major scale.

    Any tips on barre chords for dominant 7 chords? I feel like I have a good grasp on major and minor barre chords but when it comes to E and A string dom 7 barre chords, I can’t get all the notes to sound out properly. 😒

    A bit confused. I am just learning but have my minor pentatonic scales down and want to add some 7 chords. Am7 for instance...looks like it takes off the root A leaving the open G. So down the neck I just sub a G for an A. ACE becomes GCE?

    • @seandaniel23
      @seandaniel23  5 років тому

      Yup, then you have a C major chord (any combo of C E and G)

    Maybe I'm missing something, hopefully somebody can explain but right here: 10:53 he says "it's an E7" but wouldn't this be a flat 7? looks like he is playing the B on the A string and the G# on the G and everything else open. But that D string is open not D# (the 7th) so he has E,B,D,G#,B,E wouldn't a 7th be moving that D up a half step?
