Thanks for watching my guitar lesson videos! Let’s have a fun!!
My guitar lesson #4 is about swing groove with Root 3rd 7th voicing chords.
You can play simple 7th chords by using 3 notes.
I explained the details with my demo in this video so please watch it to the end.
1) Let’s play Dom7th chords.
Learn two main fingering forms. Bb7 and Eb7
6 string Root, 4th string b7, 3rd string M3
5 string Root, 4th string M3, 3rd string b7
2) Let’s play Bb Blues!
Bb7 Eb7 Bb7 Bb7
Eb7 Eb7 Bb7 Bb7
F7 Eb7 Bb7 F7
You should play swing groove slowly first then you can use a metronome (accent on 2 and 4)
My instructional dvd, Accelerate Your Guitar Playing DVD has this type exercises.
Practice more rhythm guitar so you can hear the chord changes and good for soloing.
3) From Dom7, you can easily change to Maj7 chord or min7 chord.
Rt M3 b7 = Dom7
Rt M3 M7 = Maj7
Rt b3 b7 = min7
4) Let’s challenge to learn jazz tune! (watch toward end for the details)
//C-7 F7 BbMaj7 EbMaj7 A-7(b5) D7 G-7 G7
C-7 F7 BbMaj7 EbMaj7 A-7(b5) D7 G-7 G-6//
//A-7(b5) D7 G-7 G7 C-7 F7 BbM7 EbM7
A-7(b5) D7 G-7 C7 F-7 Bb7 EbM7 A-7(b5) D7 G-7 G7//
Like this way, you can hear each root motion and the guide tone (3rd & 7th) really well from simple 3 notes 7th chords. Then this concept can make you hear the chord changes more easily and effectively.. These simple chords are great for practicing rhythm guitar playing. If you play the form for 3-4 times (recorded) it’s great way to work on your soloing skill over the chord changes. First do practice on simple blues, then jazz blues, after you practice those well, then you can learn some jazz standards this way. No need any tensions or big difficult chords! Simple is the best!
I showed you this simple concept of playing 3 notes (Root 3rd 7th) chords and challenged to apply this idea to blues and one standard chord changes.I hope you learn something new today? If you liked it, please write your feedback here please.
I really enjoy reading all of your comments.
Okay, see you next week!
