Lesson Description:
Last week I gave you an exercise for mastering several guitar seventh chords with six different chord quality shapes all over the guitar in total, five of those being seventh chords.

But that approach doesn't address how those seventh chords can exist together to make progressions.

In this lesson I'm going to show you how you can take those same guitar seventh chord shapes and map out which ones sound beautiful together in ANY key on the guitar.

Once we can see the fretboard in this way learning and writing chord progressions that use seventh chords is a breeze.

I LOVE powerful drills like this on their own but I always want to show you real music examples as well.

That's why I included the first phrase of a chord melody arrangement to a popular jazz standard that practically plays itself once we understand this amazing guitar exercise.

Don’t ignore this exercise for learning guitar seventh chords in every key equally. It’s so powerful. We have to repeat everything so much when we practice anyway, when working on anything that is harmonic or diatonic, such as working on seventh chords and chord vocabulary, we might as well repeat them all over the guitar fretboard in every single key! Once you can do this on the guitar, seventh chords in any key for any song and any progression, or for writing your own progressions is SO much easier.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson and found it beneficial. Let me know what you thought. Thanks! :)
