CHD-02 Seventh Chords

About this lesson

Following on from CHD-01, which covers triads, sus & add chords, this lesson covers a range of seventh chords. Each chord is given in a musical example so your student learns to apply the chord rather than simply learn a chord position. The included lesson instructions can be used to guide the lesson along and give your student tips on how to think about the chords. The theory is clearly explained so your student can understand the difference between the various seventh chords.

It's a good idea to go through MTH-08 before attempting this lesson as it covers the theory in a different way.
