    Hello friends,
    In today's session we are going back to the fundamentals by learning the various positions of the essential major 7 chord harmony. Mastering this skill will provide you with more options as a rhythm guitarist, and will help you to visualize the connections between scales, melodies and the chords. Let's get started!

    Dude, thank you for covering ALL of the voicings and not just some like most people do. That's the difference for me.

    I greatly appreciate this video for the reason that I've been playing guitar for 60 years and never quite got the hang of major 7th until seeing this. I just avoided playing songs what major 7th chords. I've seen other videos about it but none has ever explained it as well as you have here. Thanks again!

    Great lesson! The simple concept of using the different voicings of the barre chords to avoid occupying the same sonic space as another instrument is an eye opener for me.

      @@Elijahandlife the Bible was written by a reflection of the oversoul. If by god, you mean Yahweh, he died long ago. Have you never read the Bible? Do you know who commands “his children” to love him? An abusive and controlling father. Also if Yahweh (not god, god is the oversoul we all descend from in life) was Omnipotent as he claims, he wouldn’t have fucked up with Abraham and his two sons.
      Also he sent himself earth to sacrifice himself TO HIMSELF for sins such as “not being faithful to the provider of ones nookie”, “don’t be envious”. Really just sounds like more indoctrination techniques from those trying to keep our power as entities away from us. Good for you, you’re playing right into that. I choose not to.
      Also, the Bible makes it hard not to make fun of it. Do you really believe that a boat carried every single species of animal? Take some time and google just how many species existed at the time of writing. There’s no way a boat made in that time was buoyant enough. Also if Yahweh really cared about you, no matter what he says, no way would he let you burn for an eternity with no reprieve. Keep in mind mixed fabric is a sin.

    Thanks. I just spent some of my late Saturday night/early Sunday morning watching and learning from this, and it was of course worth it. Thanks for putting up the shapes on the screen while teaching .The "first E" position mostly wasn't hard for me to finger, since I previously learned a similar chord for "Waiting in Vain".But the "second E "position will need some work out of me, especially when it comes to muting that high E string.

    This might be a dumb question but if you can make any major 7 chord with each position across the fret board, then why not stick with one hand position for each major chord?

    • @tonyarnold9784
      @tonyarnold9784 Місяць тому
