that “shortcut” with just dropping down one half or whole step to get the seventh chord is soooo helpful!! thank you very very much! this makes playing those chords so much easier, and faster! 🙏
Hi! Good question...so I think you are confusing the dominant 7th chord that exists in the KEY of C Major, with just a C dominant 7th chord. In the key of C major (using notes from the C major scale - all white keys) there is only one dominant 7th chord that occurs, and that is G7 which you correctly identified as GBDF. CEGBb is C7 (C dominant 7th) which actually doesnt occur in the key of C major because it has a black note in it. C7 occurs in the key of F!
I am not sure if I already made this suggestion, how about a video on figuring out the time signature of a song. I always thought the Happy Birthday song was in 4/4 time but it is actually 3/4. I know that waltzes are in 3/4 time.
Good idea! Happy birthday is a weird one...3/4 is definitely the right answer and the way it is most commonly felt, but I have definitely heard people sing it while feeling it in 4/4 (by stretching biiiiirthday out for an extra count)
Heyyy Nate!!! Yes it is a little confusing 😊 thank you for the info!!! I see your point about extending the syllable for an extra count. Looking forward to your next video!!!
If the chords fifth was flattened, counting from the fifth works also? I mean counting a minor third from the fifth would be different if it wasn't flattened
Good question! This video only talks about the 3 most common types of 7th chords (Maj, Dom, and Min), all of which have a perfect 5th. If though, you needed say a min7b5 chord, you couldnt count up from the 5th in the same way...you could instead find the regular min7 chord and then flat the 5th from there. Another way to find the 7th is just count down from the octave...one half step down for a major 7th (maj7 chord), a whole step down for a minor 7th (dom7, min7, min7b5 chords). I may redo this video sometime soonish, as my teaching methods for the subject have evolved
Thanks for sharing. I learn but could you make your explanation and demonstration a little bit slower. I am a senior who really wants to play piano so my brain and hands are not as fast as the younger ones. Thank you.
Hi Yuri! The seventh is a half step down from the octave only for the “major seventh” chord. For both “dominant seventh” and “minor seventh” chords, the seventh is a *whole step* down from the octave
You're absolutely right. I was at the mercy of my keyboard display software, but I do plan to reshoot this video in the future and fix the chord spelling issues

Please do 1 step forward and 3 steps back byOlivia Rodrigo x
Thanks for your videos. I learned a lot from you. Could you please do the tutorial of Angel Baby by Troye Sivan?
It's confusing... I learned dominant seventh in Cmajor is GBDF. Then What's CEGBb? . Could you please explain me? Thank you!

(another thing that can confuse people is that the syllables "Happy" are pick-up notes, with the downbeat of the first measure hitting on "birth")

Thanks for the feedback!
Is every seventh just 1/2 step down from the octave?
Hi Yuri! The seventh is a half step down from the octave only for the “major seventh” chord. For both “dominant seventh” and “minor seventh” chords, the seventh is a *whole step* down from the octave
Hey Nate can you please make tutorial on wildest dreams by Taylor swift pls
E major 7 doesn't have A flat. It's g. Sharp
You're absolutely right. I was at the mercy of my keyboard display software, but I do plan to reshoot this video in the future and fix the chord spelling issues
Show me a 9th 😂
Maybe I'll make a video :)
