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.

[@seanmcclanahan6975]

Paul Davids wow! I feel like I know so much now lol. Ur the best :)

[@AnomieTrain]

It seems like everybody and his brother writes it differently--this used to confuse the hell out of me (and still does because I can't remember many of them!)

[@ioangherasim6031]

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

[@ioangherasim6031]

i was exercising this on the piano, there is a natural transition from the c maj7th to the c 7 to the f maj, has a nice dreamy feel to it

[@ioangherasim6031]

an from the f maj to f min and again C.

Paul thank you for this series. It is the reason why I FINALLY started efficiently learning Music Theory. I always look forward to the new episodes. CHEERS! FROM NEW ZEALAND! P.S. Come to New Zealand mate.

[@amnestyhophop1535]

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]

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]

@@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

[@jeps5553]

Yes, I am a music theory nerd! Week 7 and this is all I can think about! I can't play a chord without diving deep in to what makes it a chord! Thank you Paul! You are a blessing to the music world

[@juampiagostino3390]

The maj7 chords are very colorful, they add a great tone and are very sentimental when you play them, i wish i can marry a maj7 chord. I have really enjoy your video! (sorry for the bad english)

[@notchieuwu]

I'm so glad this series exists, up to now I've been doing everything by ear and even though I figured out some of the chords myself I'm sure this knowledge will be incredibly usefull

[@gerdagregerson]

How cool! I’ve already learned Autumn Leaves from you, and now I’ll be able to figure out what chords I’m playing. It’s so exciting how things start coming together a little more with each of your awesome videos! Thanks so much!

[@jackoo666]

ive been playing guitar for over 10 years. Ive had a fair amount of formal theory training but kind of tuned out and never fully understood jazzier chords. I would kind of just figure them out by ear. this is revolutionary for me. youre so good at putting things so theyre so easy to understand.thank you.

[@mnelson2528]

Incredible. I’ve been ‘playing’ for over 30 years,but always only absorbed small amounts of theory. I’ve recently started working on beginner jazz and found I needed theory to progress. You’ve presented it in a way I can get my head around. I feel great things just over the horizon for my learning. THANK YOU!

Thank you for this high quality content Paul... I really hope you continue this series with enriched chords and how to include them to progressions :)

[@hgaubaul]

You're an awesome teacher for beginners like myself! Just started learning how to play the guitar and keyboard. I now clearly understand these on the guitar and piano keyboard because of your visual illustrations and simple explanation of the sus and 7th chords in relation to their major and minor chords.
