I've like the most when you said about those feelings C∆ happy C7 spicy Cm∆ danger Cm7 relaxing Is it possible for us here in the channel, to study this subject: the feelings in the chords?
Hi Rafael. Yes, it's definitely possible for you to study the feeling of the chords. You can start by simply playing a chord, or a melody, and ask yourself "how would I describe this feeling?"
For me, Major7 always gives me a feeling of happysadness, or sadhappiness. It's not quite fully happy. Dom7 is always more happy to me, spicy is a good word for it. I call it moxie cuz it's got attitude hehe. I've never used mM7 as anything other than a passing chord going from regular minor to m7.
Hi Tomasso, you are a master of the whiteboard! That makes all the difference for my understanding. Thanks for your compassion in explaining to beginners.
6:50 It's worth mentioning that when you eliminate the 5th or any other non-essential degree of a chord in this way, you are playing what is known as a "shell voicing".
I've struggled for many months a year ago to understand each individual 7th chords. Even after all this time, I wasn't fully sure but now with that great video I know what is and what isn't, thanks!
In Jazz college, we were taught to master 5 different 7th chords using “drop 2” inversions. The 5 chords were: major 7, dominant 7, minor 7, minor 7b5 (half-diminished 7th chord), and diminished 7 (fully- diminished 7th chord). A drop-2 inversion is when you take the SECOND highest note in an inversion and drop it below the lowest. So 1-3-5-7 becomes 5-1-3-7 3-5-7-1 becomes 7-3-5-1; 5-7-1-3 becomes 1-5-7-3; and 7-1-3-5 becomes 3-7-1-5. Then we had to play those drop-2’s on 3 sets of 4 strings; so on 1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, and 3-4-5-6. We learned them that way because many 7th chords are too big of a stretch if played in close position inversions.
So I want to ensure I understand. Basically a 7th is just using the 7th note in the major or minor? So Cmaj is made of C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C to play on guitar you use the 1st, 3rd, and 5th. A 7th is just adding the 7th which I’m this case is b. Is that essentially correct?
Love your explanations, very grateful for your video on learning the fretboard. However, If only you had a one time pay for your courses I would buy it without hesitation. Cannot afford a monthly subscription...
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar Of course you're a physicist...no normal person can be so musically educated :D My former quantum mechanics professor was also a genius musician.
Hello, very nice explanation. I am learning the banjo, but I assume this information transfers, just with different fingers. In the last example couldn't you move down the highest string 2 frets? Why choose not to and instead omit a note from the chord?
Online I see that the chords (Tonic, Sub-Dominant, Dominant) of, say, the key of C are C, F and G. Likewise, for the relative minor, it's Am, Dm and Em. However, my book (Mel Bey's), says the chords are C, F, G7 and Am, Dm, E7. Why is there a difference?
It has been many moons nw I've learned the caged system including the 7th chord part and intervals but I am struggling with using double stops, I dont know where to begin .
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar Thanks for your reply. Considering the 5th note is often omitted when a chord is used with some tension notes, the 5th note is not thought to be essential and it's probably better to use the chord as it is.
You can put the 5 in the bass of C7 if you barre the third fret on the Low E or even muting the A string as thus muting the string and omitting the doubled root. The way the notes are stacked are irrelevant, it's only important that those four notes are played.
you can always ask your melody what it needs more, if the melodic line is hitting a 5th over the chord already, maybe you want to harmonize the 5th and make it a little less tense, or maybe you want to add more flavor and not play the 5th in the chord its whatever flavor you want your dish to have i guess.
Could you do a less serious video about your epic beard? Would def watch that! Keep up the useful tips, you’ve created an infinitely useful theory channel throughout the years thanks for all the hard work!

I describe these four chords as "Happy, Spicy, Danger, Cool", but what are YOUR words for them?
MusicTheoryForGuitar Happy, Sneezy, Grumpy and Doc.
As of now, I call them Bittersweet, moxie, transient, and sanguine
God bless you.! Played your vid for about 3 mins, and my mind screamed Eureka!
Now I will use it to explain this small jewerly to my kid son.
You are the first teacher that can make me understand musictheory
Thank you!

@@OdaKa same for me, depending on the voicing the Maj7 chord can sound depressing (X3200X) or joyful (X76800)
wonderfull video, made the subject so simple and non intimidating!! thanks so much

Intro seems to be that of a magician
i love minmaj7, such anxiety, much depression
Love your descriptors for the character of the 7th chords
Thank you for this useful approach.
Great content and presentation
Loved your greeting. thank you.
Another excellent info/video added to my personnal cyberlibrary
In Jazz college, we were taught to master 5 different 7th chords using “drop 2” inversions.
The 5 chords were: major 7, dominant 7, minor 7, minor 7b5 (half-diminished 7th chord), and diminished 7 (fully- diminished 7th chord).
A drop-2 inversion is when you take the SECOND highest note in an inversion and drop it below the lowest.
So 1-3-5-7 becomes 5-1-3-7
3-5-7-1 becomes 7-3-5-1;
5-7-1-3 becomes 1-5-7-3;
and 7-1-3-5 becomes 3-7-1-5.
Then we had to play those drop-2’s on 3 sets of 4 strings; so on 1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, and 3-4-5-6.
We learned them that way because many 7th chords are too big of a stretch if played in close position inversions.
And that's good work to do, and very useful.
Drop 3 chords follow the same principle by dropping the third highest note in the chord down an octave.
God these videos are so soon useful I wish there were more
Thank Tomasso for the brilliant logical explanation
Hi Tomasso: As a fingerstyle player, would I be correct that your chord course would be of great benefit ( albeit I play left handed)
Yes, the chord course works great for fingerpickers. You will have to mirror a few chord diagrams since you play left handed, though.
My friend, thank you so much for doing this kind of lessons!
For me it's quite like this
C∆ fantasy
C7 nostalgia
Cm∆ detective chord, mysterious
Cm7 chill
Thanks for sharing this.
Man, you are epic.
Great content!
Best explaination. thanks.
Very concise, thank you!
Very good video Tommaso!
Sir u just simplified it. U r great teacher. Please explain major 11 and minor 11 major 9 minor 9 if possible..
your wish came true
I Hope he will

Worth mentioning that if you see Cmaj7, the "maj" refers to the 7, not to the C
Yup

@5:05 D minor major 7th? Is that right? Should it be DMin#7?
Online I see that the chords (Tonic, Sub-Dominant, Dominant) of, say, the key of C are C, F and G. Likewise, for the relative minor, it's Am, Dm and Em.

Can't you add the note G on the 3rd fret of the 6th string to C7 chord?
You can, but this way you will have a C7 with a bass of G, which is a different inversion of the chord, and in some situation it will sound different.
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar Thanks for your reply.
Considering the 5th note is often omitted when a chord is used with some tension notes, the 5th note is not thought to be essential and it's probably better to use the chord as it is.

Why can I play both maj and min 7ths when one note will be out of key? (Sorry for being a pain w this purely theoretical question)
why is that we dont touch the lowest root of the chord ? can someone explain
Cmaj7=Lazy
C7th=salty
Cm maj7=horror
Cm7th=chilling
For me
Its best😅
HELLO INTERNET.HELLO THHOMASSO................COUNTERPOINT LESSONS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Someone should mention if you move it down one more you have a 6 or bb7.
Allan Holdsworth could play the C7 with G in open position
I thought there were 3 7s.
The 7min, 7, 7maj

What do you say when your video start....."hello ___________ ?"
Triangle? Must be a jazz thing
You can write it "maj7" or "ma7" if you prefer.
