Major chords, Major 7th Chords, Dominant Chords. This new version is slower, so that it's easier to follow along.

  • these aren't even full chords. Any 7th, M7th, or m7th requires a four note sequence.

  • Often great songwriters and great composers only use the most essential notes from a chord. If you always used all four notes of a minor seventh chord, you'll be pretty limited in your musical palette.

  • Just what I was looking for! And thanks for not including a dork talking for 10 minutes before actually playing something.

  • dude.. you can do this video in 15 seconds by saying the progresion,it is the same over and over

  • This is not what a pianist would do. In a second I'll explain what C and G at 1:17 can be part of. Why would it sound like an AbM7, if you don't even have the Ab in it? These are just 2 notes, not four... They can also be:

    C major (obviously)

    C minor (not so obviously)

    A major 7

    A minor 7

    F9

    ... ...

    And so on. They're all equal if you don't have a bass line. Your argument above is invalid, C and G never sound like AbM7, unless a bassist is playing next to you. These are not a chord.

  • @lickmyfart dude you won't really learn anything from this, just search up how to play all the chords, it's easy and nowhere near as hard as people make it out to be. it's easy buddy, don't let any teacher or random guy making it all fancy and complicated sounding stop you. just go do it, it's fine, you can play piano if you want to!

  • bookmarking this page. thanks, that really helped alot!

  • WTF O_O u swith to lowerd OCtave note of a seventh chord

    i wonder that i might play nd go to high one make an 7th chord

    thats nt a chord isnt?

  • @sesameseed77 but theoretically itz nt chord.Chord is a combination of three notes. u r right that these r the important notes. but these r nt chords.

  • Anyone else find it CRAZY ANNOYING how it's the SAME progression modulating up a half step every four measures? hhahahahah

  • @cluinetti Well, technically a chord is a "Triad", three notes. But this video only shows the pianist's right hand, his left hand would play the root and 5th. So you have all four notes (he's playing sevens), constituting a chord. Once you get to more complicated chords, like 11s and 13s, there's no way you could play all those notes with your right hand, so you have to omit some notes.

  • Ya..Thats great...a good way of teaching the chords..Thanks for the information..

  • great for beginners, very good that you omit the 5th and roots. Perhaps it´s a good idea, to explain, that the root and 5th normally are played by the bassists so that they can be omitted by the pianist and that the most important notes of a chord are the 3rd and 7th.
