[@rhapsody1979]

Because of this man i have learned things i never knew at all. He teaches so well and with so much patience and clarity it's almost impossible not to understand him. Great, great teacher!!

[@Guitarzoom]

+Billy C. (rhapsody1979) Thank you!

[@sandeeprai2396]

Billy C. I feel same here...... you are great teacher steve . greetings from NEPAL

[@TomGoldsmithguitar]

Billy C. Well said boy

[@YavorVelchev]

I love this. How can one man descipher things in such a clear and intellingent way! You can dig through the internet all day and still not find this, being presented so clear cut. Thank you, Steve!

[@sambarillas1062]

I have been losing sleep over this for weeks. this man just saved a poor soul.

[@FireflyJack]

Sam Barillas DUDE! Same here, man. This 7th stuff was bugging the hell outta me. I just couldn’t figure why the chord would include a note that’s not in the key. I searched all over KZbin for a proper explanation. All it took was one video from the legendary Steve Stine to clear things up for me. This guy is awesome!

[@peterfoordbrown2575]

Excellent and shows great empathy with people struggling to understand confusing musical concepts. Clarity and demo's from start to finish. Well done.

[@drewr729]

Best guitar instructor on the internet!

[@madhukarchetry764]

this is the best explanation on the 7th chords. Steve you're the man

[@7623690]

One little trick I use is knowing interval shapes. You just have to identify your root and start building chords on top of that. If you want to try it, learning the intervals relative to the 5th and 6th strings is a good start. Once you got your octaves, thirds and fifths down, you can find the rest by adding tones and semitones and going one octave up and down. It might sound messy but it's quite helpful.

[@TheJasond27]

I'm a blind guitarist and you made this very clear to understand even if I can't see what err doing.

[@brucesankey3409]

This guy explains music better than just about anyone else on KZbin without massive overload of some many others.

[@brunsniggel]

20 years of playing guitar, just knowing the 7s from the maj7 but didnt really understand the theory below. 10 minutes and - mind blown. Thank you Steve!

[@joseph_burdock]

Thank you sooooooo much! I am currently nearing the end of my music theory class and this helped me tremendously! Subbed + liked! :D

[@MelodyMaker]

Crisp explanation of important music theory element. Segment earns a spot in my guitar instruction playlist.

[@FireflyJack]

Will someone please kick me in the butt for not searching for Steve Stein first to help me understand this 7th chord crap? It was bugging the hell outta me. I just couldn’t understand why the 7th chord would use a note that’s not in the key. I searched all over KZbin for an explanation that made sense. In comes the legendary Steve Stine to make it completely clear to me. Steve, you have a real gift there. Keep up the good work.

[@CoderboyPB]

by the way, Steve, do you know, that in Germany B is called H, while B flat is called B? It's always confusing for german beginners. Some music teachers in Germany meanwhile use to teach both versions, but use the american names when they talk to theire students :-) Btw. John Sebastian Bach used the german B (B Flat) and the H to put his Name in his music: B-A-C-H (B Flat,A,C and B)

[@syedjawad75]

Man i will meet this guy in person soon. He is a great teacher!

[@richfieldstudio3226]

What I do to find that 7th note, is to get the octave of the key note and move back a semi tone for Major7 and a whole step for Minor7 or 7th

[@Guitarzoom]

Hi. That's absolutely correct and a great shortcut to find that 7th. Thanks so much for your comment and feedback!

[@vivianfrancis6263]

Very nicely explained Sir. First time i understood it. Can u explain how to play it in different positions pl

[@Guitarzoom]

Hi Vivian! Here are some voicings for C. Cmaj7 - From string 5 X35433, from string 6 you have 8X998X for C7 - String 5 X35353 barring from string 5, on the 6th string apart from the one shown on the lesson you can play 8X898X. For Cm7 on str 5 you have X35343 also barring from the 5th string and for string 6 position 8X888X. Whenever you see an X this means the string is muted. Hope this helps and answers your question. Let me know if I can be of further help.

[@larrywhitted7333]

Very interesting. Thanks man. I never understood the difference.

[@freshwater49]

Thanks man. That's well explained. A very useful outlook.

[@Guitarzoom]

Thank you, Steve

[@charles6762]

[@nerad1994]

Why is a D dominant chord written as D7 and not Ddom7?

[@prajshrestha3188]

very helpful video. thank u so much

[@ashishpanwar909]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@chrisarias4055]

Roooooot Thanks for the lesson

[@gmemetics]

great explanation. thanks for that, mate

[@snowbaord]

understood

[@bestboy897]

excellent lesson

[@teamcole7281]

ok, i have a question, with the first position Cdominant7 (C7) that is shown it seems like the G is replaced by the B-flat rather than adding a fourth note to the chord. Is this typically of the dom7 where that third note of the triad is replaced by the dom7 note, rather than adding to chord, or is this it just a feature of the particular chord shape? I guess my question if, why is it not called some other chord if it doesn't have the G note. To add to my confusion I notice that if I play the Cdom7 as a bar chord as he played once in the video all 4 notes are there. Also, in theory if one would play the low G on the E string with their thumb in that first C chord position to get the G in there would that in theory still be a Cdominant7? Hope that was clear, I jumped around a bit.

[@themixmusicandmore6280]

Im still so confused. Say i have a chord progression in Em... 1,3,1,3, 6,5,6,7. I want to change them all to 7ths. How do i know when to use a 7, min7, or maj7

[@bert29]

[@benscotthollingsworth9926]

Really really great video - thanks Steve

[@daveanderson6323]

Sorry Steve, no need to reply the answer is: C minor 7 = C, Eb, G and Bb. Bb is a major 3rd from C

[@randolfjones1024]

At last I understand dominant from major thank mate

[@gringo7050]

need to watch over and over again...

[@RushlanMurshed]

brilliant man brilliant!!!

[@2goXD]

Best explanation ever

[@Guitarzoom]

Thank you! Steve

[@jesussavesministriesnepal1684]

awesome

[@daveanderson6323]

OK, I think I got it: C minor 7 is C, Eb, G and B?

[@AustinBrake98]

The B would become A#/B flat for Minor

[@daveanderson6323]

Hey Steve nice lesson, but what about minor 7 chords?

[@suryayenamandra7708]

Simple, all I do is play the minor chord on the top and bottom parts of the neck. Then I play the minor scale corresponding to that area and key, then replace the note with a corresponding seventh note!

[@davidvarela8739]

reminds me the rain song by Zeppelin am i wright?

[@JD-li1xw]

A whole step back from "the rut". Lol. Great teacher though!

[@caprimbombartic5]

I don't understand you... Dmaj7= D,F#,A,C. You used a C# to make the Dmaj7... am I missing something? What is the name of the chord in which you used C#?

[@louiseattzs]

Alejandro Hetfield the 7th note in the D major scale is C#, so Dmaj7 = D, F#, A, C#, a D7 chord would = D, F#, A, C

[@louiseattzs]

Also if you ever see C7 or G7 it implies dominant 7 so Cdom7 or Gdom7

[@univuniveral9713]

One trick is to only know bar chords theoretically, but never play them. That is the key to quick progress. Bar chords almost messed up my hand and I spen £500 to heal my hand. I will never try them again.

[@starchild692]

I've been playing bar chords for like 14 years not the slightest injury and I'm sure am not an exception.You just have to use a healthy natural position. Bar chords are very necessary in many situations.

[@gurph_]

rut

+YouCanCallMeMurph but actually this lesson helped a lot thanks :)
