nice
Justin do you have any lesson explaining how an A becomes an A7? which note changes what is the relationship, etc. I really need to learn? that. Hope you can help
In a 7 chord, you’re? just adding the flattened seventh to a major chord. e.g. an A major chord has A, C#, E as its notes. The 7 chord adds the G to the major chord. That makes it the 7 chord.
you? are famous.
Your lessons? are really helpful
I’m learning alot!!!! Thanks.
In the? scale of A, the SEVENTH is the G note (SOL). If you ADD that note, the SEVENTH (dominant 7th), the A chord (A,C#,E) becomes a dominant 7th chord. the same with all others. The same with 5ths,13s,11s…:-?? I think so. Hope everything’s alright.
Don’t you have to flatten the 7th note first? Because the 7th note in the scale of A actually is a G#. However if you use G, you’ve got yourself? a maj7 chord.
Correct me if i’m wrong.
=)
the 7th note in the scale of A, also called “sub-tonic’ si the G. when you flatten it, it becomes a min7 chord. i think that’s right. you? don’t have to laugh.
Sorry if I’m double posting this, Firefox? returned an error message.
The A major scale would contain the notes: A B C# D E F# G# right?
Amaj7 chord would be: A C# E G#, right?
Am7 chord would be: A C E G, right?
And an A7 would be: A C# E G, right?
Remember, the A7 chord does not occur in the A major scale.
Apologies? if I said something wrong. You’re probably right and I must have learned badly the scale of A…
I thought the 8th note is the G… i checked my notes…anyways…:-?? I also asked a teacher and he told me that there are major chords with maj7s and major chords with minor 7ths…didn’t understand a clue…and he told me that I really should learn intervals… Anyways, sorry! cheers and good luck.
No sweat man, we all have to learn. =)
The 8th note? is the A again, the tonic. But the interval is an octave.
However i don’t understand the other thing about what your teacher said. =D
sorry, i meant the 7th note. you’re right, the 8ght note is the tonic, the A? again…
We also have different intervals,like thirds, fifths…no matter…
I learnt the 7th chords by flattening the 8th note in the major scale (octave) by a whole step, so in A the 8th note would? be A then flattened a whole step making G, so G is the note you add to your A chord to make a dominant 7th…I think? Like Dusky said, the A major scale has a G# as the 7th note, not G. But I’m not sure if the A7 is pulled from the major scale.
i play? these chords differently
fucking advertising?
Hey Justin, Kinda stuck on this one?..Im left handed..How do you? play chords a7sus4..dm7 c#m7 bm7 f#m7 your help on this really appreciated..Perhaps you know of left handed guitarist who can help out…Thanks

?
Love It?
Fantasitc?
Why A7 is called A7,
what makes it makes? it 7 ?
What is the maning of 7 ?
Thanks
@curvenut
What makes a 7th chord a 7th chord, is the first octave (or second ) is lowered to a seventh note instead.
This gives the chords a new interestihng sound, and is used in many songs.
However, to really understand this, I? advice you to do try to learn more music theory so all of ths makes sense to you! ;p
justin is? the man, man
excellent lesson
OMG YOUTUBE STUPID ADDS, hate it when u? can’t skip them…
Desi serna does great guitar theory podcast but of course? Justin is great and has a million you tube vidies
