Intro to Seventh Chords: Major Sevenths
 
In this lesson, Mark introduces the seventh chord, beginning with the major seventh. He explains how you create major seventh chords and then demonstrates that close-voiced major seventh chords are, with a couple exceptions, nearly impossible to play on the guitar. You’ll learn how you make seventh chords playable by displacing one of the voices an octave, for a wider voicing often called a “drop two” voicing. In this lesson, Mark walks you through the four voicings (root position, first inversion, second inversion, and third inversion) of Gmaj7, Cmaj7, Amaj7, and Dmaj7 on the top three strings.
