The chords are just the beginning. Your touch is phenomenal in the intro and in the exercise at the end. Lots to unpack. Thanks so much for this excellent lesson that's taught so well.
I've been obsessed with collecting different ways of doing this for years now. i7 IV7 too, even moreso. it's amazing how much people have done musically with such simple elements! adding all sorts of passing chords (e.g. III7 for the 2nd half of I7, or going from just triads to 7th or more extended chords) is also really fun and works great with the voicing approach you're demonstrating so beautifully.
One I use a lot that isn't here - and I found by myself - and figure everybody will like: The A and B strings are deadened. On the low E, I play the G note with my forefinger (2nd or pointer finger), the middle finger I play an F (the dominant 7th) on the D string, and with my pinky, I play a B note (the third) on the D string. Sometimes I'll add the G note on the high E string with my ribng finger. It gives a nice open chord sound with the G above. For the C (or IV) chord, I keep the G (the fifth of C7) on the low E string now with my middle finger, play the E note (the third) on the D string with my 2nd (or pointer) finger, and the B note (the 7th in C7th) on the G string with my ring finger. And I can add the G on the high E string with my pinky to give that open feel. The A string and B string have to be damped in these two chords. What you get is a cool tritone sound which when other guitar players hear it, often ask what I did there. There are a few others I use - and there are some you use that are new to me. That's what I like about your lessons. Even though I know this genre pretty well and have played behind some of the artists who established it, there's always something to learn from your lessons. I'm constantly impressed with not just how much you know - but how well you play and teach it.

My favorite chord progression. I would love to see how you approach soloing over a I(7) IV(7)
