    In this series we're exploring how you can make chords on the guitar yourselves. From a complete beginner to a player who can freely make, alter, break down and analyze chords. I'll take you through the steps you need to learn to master these techniques and make them your own. This will greatly benefit your playing and overall knowledge of the instrument and music theory in general.

    One thing I forgot to talk about is that some chords can be named differently. For example:
    Cmaj7: CM7 or CΔ
    C7 : C dominant seventh
    Cm7: C-7
    Cm7b5: C half diminished or Cø
    There are more variations you'll see, but these are the most common.

      it ok, as long as you get the relationship from one chord to another. I imagine that there are a lot more variations to the 9th chord following the same alterations, or the 11TH

    So pretty much I remember it like this: a major chord is a root note, a 5th and a major 3rd, when ever you play a chord look for its octave and flatten it to get a maj7 and then for a 7 just move the octave down a tone. I tested myself by writing every major chord triad and then writing their major and minor 7th under them, it’s a good exercise for learning your chord skills

    • @dhstoen2153
      @dhstoen2153 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m confused. The C7 chord I thought was defined as a four note chord but the chord he showed had three notes with two roots. The added note replaced the fifth. New to theory. Sorry I’m slow. I understand your explanation when reviewing the C7 chord. So three notes still but the extra octave just down a tone?

    • @Humiliated1234
      @Humiliated1234 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@dhstoen2153 from what I understood he did already play all four notes for example in the D chord he needed D-F#-A which you have at the D chord and your actually play D twice once on the B string by holding disk the 3rd fret and once on the open D string
      So since he was playing D twice he just switched out one of the Ds to another note hope that explains it in still getting to understand it and thought explaining it would help me understand
