Practicing 7th Chords- Method 2. 2 2
One type of 7th at a time. 3 3
So number one, you played four types of seventh built on the same root note. 4 4
So, you started with a C Major 7, kept the root. 5 5
Changed it, flatten the seventh to a seven chord. 6 6
Flatten the third to a C minor seven chord. 7 7
Flatten the fifth, to C half diminished chord, and so on. 8 8
And the right hand mirrored that. 9 9
This time, you're going to play one type of 7th at a time. 10 10
So, you'll start with C Major 7, and you'll move up. 11 11
Db major seven, and D Major 7, and Eb Major 7, and so on. 12 12
The right hand will mirror that again, so C Major 7, two octaves. 13 13
[MUSIC] 14 14
You can keep the pedal on through it. 15 15
And then left, up to Db Major 7. 16 16
[MUSIC] 17 17
And again, the fingering is all on the keyboard diagrams in the pages before. 18 18
D Major 7. 19 19
And so on. 20 20
So then you're going to do all twelve 7th chords. 21 21
So C7. 22 22
[MUSIC] 23 23
Db7, so Db7. 24 24
[MUSIC] 25 25
D7. 26 26
[MUSIC] 27 27
And so on. 28 28
Then you're going to do all twelve minor 7s. 29 29
So C 30 30
minor 7. 31 31
Db minor. 32 32
There's D flat minor 7. 33 33
[MUSIC] 34 34
D minor 7. 35 35
[MUSIC] 36 36
And, so on. 37 37
And then you're going to do all 12 diminished, half diminished 7th chords. 38 38
So that's the flattened 3rd, flatten 7th, and flattened 5th. 39 39
[MUSIC] 40 40
Then Db half diminished 7. 41 41
Remember, you can use a memory trick again. 42 42
It looks like E minor on top of Db. 43 43
[MUSIC] 44 44
And so on. And as you do each 7th, 45 45
take it off at the bottom of the page. 46 46
Don’t keep repeating yourself back to the start. 47 47
Okay, you want to get through all these chords.
