Skip to 14:07 to hear the seventh chord jam!

This video teaches the basic structure behind major seventh (maj7), minor seventh (m7) and Dominant Seventh (7th) chords, as well as how to play them as a guitarist and how to use them when writing. They do fit into our major keys and modes which means soloing and singing over them should be a breeze as long as youā€™re putting them in the right spot.

The concept Iā€™m teaching is commonly referred to as the ā€œharmonized major scaleā€. For many guitarists, this concept isnā€™t very intuitive due to the geometry of our instrument. Therefore I prefer to teach this ā€œshortcut methodā€ to harmony before exploring actual extended chords and harmonies. I do recommend you continue your research into this topic by googling and watching videos on ā€œthe harmonized major scaleā€. Iā€™ve also skipped over the vii chord since this video is NOT about diminished- I have other videos on that chord!

In addition to writing chord progressions using extended chords and staying in key, I also include several methods to writing without adhering to a key. Also I include fairly detailed walkthrough of how to take this concept and actually apply it by producing a jam section using the chords taught in this video.

I think you should retitle this video ā€œI just wrote a chart topping soft rock song in my studio by myself in 15 minutes while lecturing and whistling Dixie at the same time.ā€ So top notch

m7 Chords work so well for chill beats. Add some lo-fi drums, maybe unquantized, and you got anime-girl studying.

Man, Iā€™ve played guitar for over 15 years, and I learn so much every time I watch a video of yours. Youā€™re clear and concise, no fluff, and you give great information that helps my playing and ideas instantly. Thanks for doing your channel. Cheers!

Why are m7 chords so "chilled out", or "watered down" compared to strict minor chords? Because of the major chord that's within them. Think about it. An Am7 is just a C/A chord. (A C major with an A in the Bass).

The best thing about your videos is they are not merely tutorials, but they can also be watched just for entertainment. The lesson automatically feeds into your brain before you even know it. Great going man! Love from Bangladesh!

What a powerhouse of a tutorial! Not only do you explain each type of seventh chord, you also gives us great examples in the format of a song.
